In his paper “Framing Moral Intuitions” (Sinnott-Armstrong 2008), Sinnott-Armstrong argues that three studies which he cites provide evidence of unreliability in all moral intuitions in all circumstances. Therefore, he argues that all of one’s moral intuitions require inferential confirmation for justification. I argue that the studies do not strike me as evidence for this conclusion. Thus, anyone who reads the studies and is not struck that they are evidence for this conclusion can have justified moral intuitions without inferential confirmation. Further, arguments are given for why Sinnott-Armstrong’s arguments fail to show that all moral intuitions are unreliable in all circumstances. Finally an argument is given which shows that even if one accepts the master argument, it need not lead to moral scepticism.

No. of bitstreams: 1 DISSERTACAO VERSAO FINAL.pdf: 1786499 bytes, checksum: 5a29a7f82f0466077ab1a1f451c1b339 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013 / FACEPE / O presente estudo buscou apreender parte da realidade social retratada na Decisão Fundamentada da Agência Antidoping dos Estados Unidos (USADA), na qual foram descritas todas as violações as normas do antidoping cometidas pelo respeitado e reverenciado ciclista Lance Armstrong e sua equipe a U.S. Postal. Para tal, baseou-se na análise dos testemunhos dos ex-ciclistas da referida equipe, o Código da Agência Mundial Antidoping (AMA-WADA), o histórico dos testes antidoping realizados pelo atleta, a Investigação Independente promovida pela União Ciclística Internacional sobre o teste positivo para EPO nas amostras coletadas do desportista durante o Tour de France de 1999 e o relatório técnico do teste positivo para EPO nas amostras do mesmo ano, todos estes documentos anexados a referida Decisão. Adotando uma perspectiva teórica e metodológica oriunda da sociologia simétrica de Bruno Latour, podemos perceber que a confirmação do doping do desportista só foi possível graças ao trabalho de um conjunto de híbridos tecnológicos, os quais revelaram a presença de inúmeros actantes ilícitos performando e delimitando as práticas do atleta. Deste modo, imprimiu-se um novo olhar sobre a carreira do ciclista, tendo em vista a interação deste com os seus aliados EPO (eritropoietina), Cortisona, Testosterona, Doping Sanguíneo, Actoveig, entre outros híbridos que serão apresentados no decorrer da análise. Recontar a história do ciclista sob a ótica de seus alistamentos nos fez perceber que o ciclismo, por ele praticado, não existe sem a concorrência dos distintos não-humanos que ajudam a estabilizar seu conceito, como prática desportiva. Em si tratando das provas científicas que embasaram a Decisão Fundamentada da USADA, observou-se os momentos de produção e significação da realidade nos quais o idioma performativo do doping remodelou o conceito de ciclismo profissional, praticado por Armstrong e muitos outros de sua geração.

"All of these qualities are readily apparent in Call It Courage, the book which won for Sperry the 1941 Newbery Medal for the most distinguished contribution to children's literature in the year of its publication. It was appreciation of this book and curiosity about its background that led the writer of this paper to select Armstrong Sperry and his writing as her subject. The writer should, perhaps, have begun with an investigation of biographical sources. If she had done so, she would have discovered gaps in information and would have gotten in contact with Sperry himself sooner. Also a knowledge of the experiences connected with each book must surely have added to her enjoyment in reading it. However, that was not the procedure used. Having established through standard bibliographies what books Sperry had written, the writer read them in haphazard order. After consulting the available biographical material, she wrote Armstrong Sperry in care of his most recent publisher, Winston in Philadelphia. In a most cordial reply, which arrived only five days later, Sperry answered her questions about his life, the source of his background materials for recent books, and his work in progress. He added several interesting paragraphs giving his philosophy of writing. Mr. Sperry's letter added greatly to the information gathered from other sources. The first chapter of this paper presents the salient facts of Sperry's life"--Introduction. / Carbon copy of typescript. / "August, 1959." / "Submitted to the Graduate School of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Sarah Rebecca Reed, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes annotated list of Sperry's works. / Includes bibliographical references.

M.A. / This mini-dissertation focuses on the writing of the Church of England missionary bishop, John Armstrong and his wife, Frances Armstrong, revealed in their travel journal and diaries. John wrote Notes from South Africa and Frances wrote ,Journal of our Voyage to South Africa 1854 and Journal Port Elizabeth South Africa 1854. This discussion focuses on the imperial encounter as well as on the differences and commonalities in male and female writing revealed in the Armstrong texts ...
