3	En analys av McCloskeys argument mot utilitarismen : Räcker McCloskeys argument om att utilitarismen leder till oacceptabla slutsatser för att förkasta utilitarismen som moralteori? / An analysis of McCloskey's argument against utilitarianism : Is McCloskey's argument that utilitarianism leads to unacceptable conclusions sufficient to reject utilitarianism as a moral theory? Gidlund, Amina January 2024 (has links) I denna uppsats tas McCloskeys argument mot handlingsutilitarismen upp. Handlingsutilitarismen innebär att en handling är rätt ifall den leder till mer totalt välbefinnande än någon annan alternativ handling. McCloskeys argument mot handlingsutilitarismen handlar om att utilitarismen leder till oacceptabla konsekvenser. Utilitarismen anser det vara rätt att mörda eller straffa oskyldiga i vissa situationer som McCloskey argumenterar emot och anser det vara oacceptabelt. McCloskeys argument handlar om en sheriff som bor i en stad, sheriffen står inför ett svårt val och det är att antigen sätta dit och avrätta en oskyldig man eller låta staden genomlida farliga upplopp som eventuellt kan ta fler liv. Detta argument använder McCloskeys för att visa att utilitarismen leder till motbjudande handlingar. Argument som kommer att framföras mot McCloskeys är att hans exempel är orealistiskt. Även att handlingar så som att döda eller likande oftast inte leder till maximering av det totala välbefinnandet. / In this essay, McCloskey's arguments against act utilitarianism will be discussed. Act utilitarianism states that an action is right if it produces more total well-being than any other alternative action. McCloskey's argument against act utilitarianism is that utilitarianism leads to unacceptable consequences. Utilitarianism considers it right to murder or punish innocent people in certain situations, which McCloskey argues against and considers unacceptable. McCloskey's argument involves a sheriff who lives in a town. The sheriff faces a difficult choice: either to convict and execute an innocent man or to let the town suffer through dangerous riots that could potentially take more lives. McCloskey uses this argument to show that utilitarianism leads to repugnant actions. Arguments that will be raised against McCloskey are that his example are unrealistic. Also, that actions such as killing often do not lead to the maximization of total well-being.

4	Rhetorical intelligence : the role of rhetoric in the US intelligence community Kreuter, Nathan Allen 01 October 2010 (has links) In the wake of the misbegotten US invasion of Iraq in 2003, we have to acknowledge that there are critical flaws in how our intelligence community (the CIA and its “sister-agencies”) produces knowledge. Instead of arguing that the intelligence community acted in bad faith, or that the mistaken pre-war intelligence was a “perfect storm” of bad luck, as others have, this dissertation argues that the intelligence community’s rhetorical culture led it into fatally flawed epistemological practices, demonstrated most dramatically in the mistaken pre-invasion allegations of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction programs. Chapter one explains the problematic assumptions behind the question of whether or not the intelligence community overtly politicized its pre-war intelligence estimates. In chapter two, the intelligence community’s theories of language are explored. Chapter three addresses how the intelligence community teaches and practices writing. The intelligence community’s inflexible commitment to writing in a “clear” prose style proves problematic when that clarity belies the uncertainty of its estimates. The fourth and final chapter addresses issues of disciplinarity in the intelligence community, explores the possibility of a rhetorical theory of intelligence, and offers conclusions. / text Rhetoric Intelligence Intelligence community Clarity Politics Politicization, WMD WMD report WMD commission report Iraq war Sherman Kent CIA Lakoff Mailloux Burke McCloskey Rhetorical intelligence Hermeneutics Objectivity Hermeneutic realism
5	Recognition Denied: An Examination of UK and US Foreign Policy towards the Republic of Croatia Ljubic, Maria Christina 02 May 2013 (has links) This thesis examines the development of decision making taken by two countries, the United Kingdom and the United States, in response to Croatia’s declaration of independence from Yugoslavia. The focus is on the recognition process and the reasoning and rationale used by the government officials and diplomats of the United Kingdom and United States to arrive at their policy decisions and opinions. The concentration is mainly on events from the early 1990s until mid 1992. Topics explored include matters such the politics behind non-recognition, democratic social norms, respect for human rights and Western national interests. The thesis first hypothesizes, then analyses, which International Relations theory, that is, realism or constructivism, possesses the best capacity explain why these nations initially withheld their recognition of Croatia’s independence before moving to accept the Republic of Croatia as an independent state. The role of the International Relations theories is to offer an interpretation and understanding of these events and decisions. Subsequently, they are judged on their ability to do so. The thesis finds that via the insight of scholars, analysts and theoretical perspectives that both the John Major government of the UK and the George H.W. Bush Administration of the United States behaved mostly according to realist principles, with some instances of constructivist manner. / Graduate / 0615 / 1616 / 0335 / cljubic9@gmail.com Tudjman Tudman Milosevic Badinter Commission ethnic constructivism Britain ethnic cleansing genocide Lord Carrington Lawrence Eagleburger Tito arms embargo Genscher USSR Westphalia Serbia Eagleburger Glaurdic Cushman Mestrovic Ramet McAdams Meier Caplan Clinton Hurd Hogg Baker Zimmermann Jovic Mesic Vukovar Dubrovnik Balkans ethnic hatred Conversi Slovenia Kosovo Bosnia McCloskey Kenney MacKinnon Belgrade serbophilia Anzulovic Al Gore Snowcroft Waltz Morgenthau Machiavelli Chetnik
