  • Kann und soll der Wille zur Macht überwunden werden? Ein Versuch des späten Nietzsche 

    Himmelmann, Beatrix (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-01)
    Das Prinzip des Willens zur Macht spielt von Beginn an, das heißt spätestens seit dem kurzen Stück über Homer’s Wettkampf, bis in Nietzsches letzte philosophische Texte hinein eine hervorgehobene Rolle. Doch es fällt auf, dass Nietzsche am Ende neben und gegenläufig zu diesem Prinzip ein Verständnis und eine Haltung dem Leben gegenüber zu konturieren sucht, die über den Willen zur Macht hinausweisen. ...
  • Deontologischer Objektivismus? Ein Kommentar zu "Sinn im Leben" 

    Himmelmann, Beatrix (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-01)
    Im Folgenden möchte ich die Hauptthese des Buches, „dass das sinnvolle Leben am intuitiv plausibelsten durch eine Theorie beschrieben werden kann, die sich als ‚deontologischer Objektivismus‘ bezeichnen lässt“ (P 1-2), kritisch beleuchten. Vor allem drei Fragen sollen meine Diskussion leiten: Was genau beinhaltet der von Markus Rüther vorgeschlagene „deontologische Objektivismus“? Kann er überzeugen? ...
  • Ageing in Place and Autonomy: Is the ‘Age-Friendly’ City Initiative Too Elderly-Friendly? 

    Angell, Kim (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-05)
    This chapter discusses the ‘age-friendly cities’ initiative aimed at enhancing people’s opportunity to age in place. It presents an autonomy-based defence of the idea and examines the moral claim that the elderly can make in support of their ability to age in place. The chapter emphasizes, among other considerations, that ageing in place can have cognitive benefits through the routines and habits ...
  • Who Needs to Tell the Truth? - Epistemic Injustice and Truth and Reconciliation Commissions for Minorities in Non-Transitional Societies 

    Reibold, Kerstin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-08)
    Truth and Reconciliation Commissions (TRCs) have become a widely used tool to reconcile societies in the aftermath of widespread injustice or social and political conflict in a state. This article focuses on TRCs that take place in non-transitional societies in which the political and social structures, institutions, and power relations have largely remained in place since the time of injustice. ...
  • Gender balance 

    Mittner, Lilli (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-04-12)
    Gender balance is defined as equal participation of women and men. Aiming for gender balance can be one pathway towards more equal, diverse, and inclusive societies. Gender balance can be achieved both vertically and horizontally within an organisation. Vertical gender balance is defined as an equal proportion of women and men in ranked positions of power. Horizontal gender balance is defined as an ...
  • Epistemic injustice 

    Reibold, Kerstin (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-04-12)
    Epistemic injustice groups together different phenomena that inhibit us from accessing or producing knowledge due to prejudices about certain groups. Epistemic injustice describes situations in which speakers’ knowledge is falsely discredited due to their group membership. It can also describe the lack of concepts for describing experiences, and the connected knowledge, of marginalised groups as ...
  • LGBTQ+ 

    Vitikainen, Annamari Eliisa (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-04-12)
    This chapter discusses some of the challenges and potential solutions for better treatment and inclusion of LGBTQ+ persons (lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer students and staff) in higher education. The chapter provides a theoretical background on the understanding of the LGBTQ+ categories, as well as the ethical questions relating to the treatment of LGBTQ+ persons in contemporary societies. Specific ...
  • Policing, Undercover Policing and ‘Dirty Hands’: The Case of State Entrapment 

    Tanyi, Attila Geza; McLeod, Stephen K; Hill, Daniel J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2024)
    Under a ‘dirty hands’ model of undercover policing, it inevitably involves situations where whatever the state agent does is morally problematic. Christopher Nathan argues against this model. Nathan’s criticism of the model is predicated on the contention that it entails the view, which he considers objectionable, that morally wrongful acts are central to undercover policing. We address this criticism, ...
  • Reassessing the Needs for Carbon Dioxide Removal: Moral Implications of Alternative Climate Target Pathways 

    Voget-Kleschin, Lieske; Baatz, Christian; Heyward, Jennifer Clare; van Vuuren, Detlef; Mengis, Nadine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-05)
    Non-technical summary. Scenarios compatible with the Paris agreement’s temperature goal of 1.5 °C involve carbon dioxide removal measures – measures that actively remove CO<sub>2</sub> from the atmosphere – on a massive scale. Such large-scale implementations raise significant ethical problems. Van Vuuren et al. (2018), as well as the current IPCC scenarios, show that reduction in energy and or ...
  • A Duty not to Remain Silent: Hypocrisy and the Lack of Standing not to Blame 

    Lippert-Rasmussen, Kasper (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-20)
    A notable feature of our practice of blaming is that blamees can dismiss blame for their own blameworthy actions when the blamer is censuring them hypocritically and, as it is often put, lacks standing to blame them as a result. This feature has received a good deal of philosophical attention in recent years. By contrast, no attention has been given the possibility that, likewise, refraining from ...
  • Some Problems for the Phenomenal Approach to Personal Identity 

    Labukt, Ivar Russøy (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-17)
    I present some problems for phenomenal (i.e. consciousness-based) accounts of personal identity and egoistic concern. These accounts typically rely on continuity in the capacity for consciousness to explain how we survive ordinary periods of unconsciousness such as dreamless sleep. I offer some thought experiments where continuity in the capacity for consciousness does not seem sufficient for ...
  • Kant und Paulus über Gesetz, Liebe und Gnade 

    Himmelmann, Beatrix (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-04-07)
    Gesetz und Gesetzlichkeit spielen in Kants kritischer Philosophie eine hervorragende Rolle. Denn die menschliche Vernunft ist für Kant ein Vermögen der Gesetzgebung. Der Nachweis allgemein gültiger Vernunftgesetze, in denen die Menschen in all ihrer Verschiedenheit vereint sind, ist deshalb auch für Kants Ethik zentral. Er entwickelt eine Gesetzesethik. Paulus dagegen hat eine wirkmächtige Tradition ...
  • Strukturális igazságtalanság és a felelősség problémája 

    Kapelner, Zsolt (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)
    Structural injustice is a special class of injustice which stems not from unjust or negligent governments, legislatures, groups of individuals, but from unjust social structures. Such social structures include the patriarchy, structural racism, and the class structure generating unjust social inequalities. Who is responsible for creating and abolishing such structural injustices? The most influential ...
  • "Hidden Inwardness" and "Subjectivity is Truth": Kant and Kierkegaard on Moral Psychology and Religious Pragmatism 

    Fremstedal, Roe (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019)
    This chapter reconstructs the concept of hidden inwardness, arguing that this term refers to moral characters (and religious characters) that are expressed with deeds and words, rather than referring to a private inner world. By relying on the distinction between morality and legality, the chapter argues that “hidden inwardness” is not compatible with all kinds of behavior, and that it is better ...
  • Rational Hope against Hope? A Pragmatic Approach to Hope and the Ethics of Belief 

    Fremstedal, Roe (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2019)
    The aim of this paper is to explore apragmatic approach to hope and the ethicsof belief that allowsrationalhope against hope. Hope against hope is hope thatgoes beyond what the evidence supports by hoping for something that is bothhighlyunlikelyand highlyvaluable.¹However,this could take different forms.One could either hope against the evidence or merelygobeyond it; the evidencecould be inconclusive ...
  • What is the incoherence objection to legal entrapment? 

    Tanyi, Attila; McLeod, Stephen K; Hill, Daniel J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-27)
    Some legal theorists say that legal entrapment to commit a crime is incoherent. So far, there is no satisfactorily precise statement of this objection in the literature: it is obscure even as to the type of incoherence that is purportedly involved. (Perhaps consequently, substantial assessment of the objection is also absent.) We aim to provide a new statement of the objection that is more precise ...
  • Substituted decision making and the dispositional choice account 

    Andersson, Anna-Karin Margareta; Johansson, Kjell Arne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-02)
    There are two main ways of understanding the function of surrogate decision making in a legal context: the Best Interests Standard and the Substituted Judgment Standard. First, we will argue that the Best Interests Standard is difficult to apply to unconscious patients. Application is difficult regardless of whether they have ever been conscious. Second, we will argue that if we accept the least ...
  • The Emotional Risk Posed by AI (Artificial Intelligence in the Workplace) 

    Danielsen, Maria (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-12)
    The existential risk posed by ubiquitous artificial intelligence (AI) is a subject of frequent discussion with descriptions of the prospect of misuse, the fear of mass destruction, and the singularity. In this paper I address an underexplored category of existential risk posed by AI, namely emotional risk. Values are a main source of emotions. By challenging some of our most essential values, AI ...
  • LGBTIQ+ prioritization in refugee admissions – The case of Norway 

    Vitikainen, Annamari (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-30)
    This article discusses some of the normative bases for the recent (2020) Norwegian policy prioritizing LGBTIQ+ refugees in refugee admissions. It argues that, when properly interpreted, this policy is compatible with the UNHCR vulnerability selection criteria but is not independently supported by it. Combined with some of the broader moral principles guiding refugee admissions – including both ...
  • Congenitally decorticate children's potential and rights 

    Andersson, Anna-Karin Margareta (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-03)
    This article is the first indepth ethical analysis of empirical studies that support the claim that children born without major parts of their cerebral cortex are capable of conscious experiences and have a rudimentary capacity for agency. Congenitally decorticate children have commonly been classified as persistently vegetative, with serious consequences for their well-being and opportunities to ...
