Foucauldian ethics in contemporary social and political thought : struggles against subjection and the submission of ethical subjectivity

Clarke, Marion Sarah January 2007 (has links)
Firstly, this thesis provides an exposition of Foucault's Critical History of Modern Western Subjectivization and Ethical Subjectivity, which works towards the elaboration of a New Philosophical Ethos, and which highlights the contemporary significance of The Politics of Ourselves. We will seek to use this work to bring out one of the issues that Foucault identified as posing important questions for politics today, centring on the prominent theme of individual choice and responsibility without universal guidance, and the lack of analytic consideration given to associated ethical implications. It is these ethical implications that this thesis seeks to analyse further. Rather than simply contribute to the industry of commentary that has thrived upon Foucault's work, this project aims to make relations appear both within his body of work, and also with other critics and theorists influenced by Foucault and engaged with the ethical and political problems he has helped to open up to us in the present.

David Gauthier's contractarian moral theory

Uzan-Milofsky, Michele Marie January 2006 (has links)
Can we derive and internalise moral rules from pure rational agency. If such a project is possible then a contractarian moral theory is conceivable. Restricting the field of morality to social co-operation, David Gauthier is probably the preeminent 20th century champion of such a theory from his Morals by Agreement, published in 1986, to his most recent writings. The purpose of this thesis is present, analyse and argue against his project. The main argument developed is that a pre-conception of morality cripples his rational calculus and that moral rules cannot be internalised through rational calculus alone. In the first part of the thesis, I give full voice to Gauthier. His work from 1963 to 1986 is presented and interpreted. In particular, in the first chapter I describe how, from his Hobbesian background and his research on practical rationality, Gauthier was led to develop a contractarian moral theory. Chapter two is then fully dedicated to developing the core features of Morals by Agreement, providing an interpretation that highlights its main strengths and weaknesses. Gauthier's work has been extensively commented upon since 1986 and Gauthier actively participated in the debates generated by his writings. Although he stopped defending his Morals by Agreement from 1993, he remained faithful to the idea of a contractarian moral theory. In the second part of the thesis, I first review in chapter three the criticisms made of Morals by Agreement as well as Gauthier's responses to them. By 1993, he had abandoned several key points of his theory. However, inspired by his Hobbesian background (chapter six), and within the framework of McClennen's concept of resoluteness (chapter five), Gauthier renewed his attempt to derive co-operation from pure rational agency. Chapter seven is a discussion of this latest attempt.

Η έννοια της ηθικής αγωγής στον Καντ

Δημήτρουλα, Αγγελική 07 October 2014 (has links)
Σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας είναι να παρουσιαστούν οι ιδέες του Καντ σχετικά με την ηθική αγωγή των παιδιών. Η δομή της εργασίας βασίζεται στην παραδοχή ότι η παιδαγωγική θεωρία του δεν μπορεί να κατανοηθεί αποκομμένη από την ηθική και πολιτική φιλοσοφία του. Μάλιστα, αποτελεί σημαντικό τμήμα της, καθώς διερευνά τη δυνατότητα και τους τρόπους ηθικοποίησης των ανθρώπινων υποκειμένων. Θεωρείται καθοριστική για την επίτευξη του ύψιστου αγαθού για το ανθρώπινο είδος, δηλαδή την ηθική κοινωνία με τη μέγιστη ευδαιμονία και την καθολική ηθικότητα. Στο πρώτο κεφάλαιο παρουσιάζονται κάποιες γενικές παραδοχές της ηθικής θεωρίας του Καντ σχετικά με το ανθρώπινο γένος. Στο δεύτερο κεφάλαιο αναλύεται η θεωρία του Καντ σχετικά με την ηθική αγωγή των παιδιών. Στο τρίτο κεφάλαιο παρουσιάζονται τρία ερωτήματα που προκύπτουν απ’ την ανάλυση της θεωρίας του Καντ για την ηθική αγωγή. Το πρώτο θέμα που εξετάζεται είναι το πώς συνδυάζεται η πειθαρχία και ο καταναγκασμός με την ελευθερία και την αυτονομία των μαθητών. Ένα άλλο σημείο που χρήζει σχολιασμού είναι το αν η ηθική αγωγή είναι τελικά απαραίτητη για την ηθική τελειοποίηση των μαθητών, μιας και σύμφωνα με τον Καντ όλοι οι άνθρωποι γνωρίζουν a priori τον ηθικό νόμο. Το τρίτο και τελευταίο σημείο προς ανάλυση πραγματεύεται τον ρόλο των συναισθημάτων στην ηθική αγωγή. / The purpose of this study is to present the ideas of Kant on moral education of children. The structure of the study is based on the assumption that his theory on education cannot be comprehended in isolation from his moral and political philosophy. Indeed, it comprises an important part of it, since it examines the possibility and the ways of moralisation of human beings. His theory on moral education is considered as crucial for the accomplishment of the highest good for the human race, which is the moral community with the utmost happiness combined with the universal morality. The first chapter includes some basic assumptions of Kant's moral theory related to the human race. In the second chapter Kant's theory on moral education of children is analysed. Chapter three poses three questions, which derive from the analysis of Kant's theory on education. The first issue discussed is how discipline and necessitation are combined with pupils' freedom and autonomy. An other topic worth of discussion is whether moral education is necessary for moral perfection of pupils, since according to Kant all human beings are a priori aware of the moral law. The third and final point of discussion refers to the role of feelings in moral education.
