Iryna Iavorska-Vietrova

Roczniki Teologiczne > 2019 > 66 > 10: Nauki o rodzinie > 191-202

The article analyzes peculiarities of students’ self-attitudes in the context of self-determination of their personal development. Self-attitude is defined as a poly-modal emotional-estimative system based on the principle of a dynamic hierarchy and acting as one of the structural units of a person’s dispositional core and a component of the structure of self-consciousness. Self-attitude expresses...

Self-Respect, Domination and Religiously Offensive Speech

Matteo Bonotti, Jonathan Seglow

Ethical Theory and Moral Practice > 2019 > 22 > 3 > 589-605

Religiously offensive speech, i.e. speech that offends members of religious groups, especially religious minorities, is on the rise in western liberal democracies, particularly following the recent wave of right-wing populism in the UK, the US and beyond. But when is such speech wrongful? This paper argues that the wrongfulness of some religiously offensive speech does not depend on some intrinsic...

The Gift of Respect: Tourist Gift Giving and the Construction of Self-Respect Among Authorized Sightseeing Rickshaw Drivers in Bharatpur, India

Emera Bridger Wilson

International Journal of Hindu Studies > 2018 > 22 > 2 > 309-333

Tourism workers may actively cultivate relationships with tourists to counter the social and economic marginalization they face by others involved in the tourism economy. In this article I explore the ways in which sightseeing rickshaw drivers use gifts as symbols of these relationships with tourists. I base my analysis on sixteen months of fieldwork that I conducted in 2008–9 with the authorized...

How Stigma Distorts Justice: the Exile and Isolation of Leprosy Patients in Hawai`i

Alexander T. M. Cheung

Asian Bioethics Review > 2018 > 10 > 1 > 53-66

Leprosy has taken on many names throughout human history. But none of its nomenclature has adequately captured the essence of what it has historically meant to live with the disease like the Hawaiian term ma`i ho`oka`awale, or “the separating sickness.” The appropriateness of this term is twofold: on the one hand, it accurately reflects the physical isolation imposed on leprosy patients as a result...

The silent burden of stigmatisation: a qualitative study among Dutch people with a low socioeconomic position

BMC Public Health > 2018 > 18 > 1 > 1-13

Background In-depth qualitative research into perceived socioeconomic position-related stigmatisation among people living at the lower end of our socioeconomic hierarchy is necessary for getting more insight in the possible downside of living in an increasingly meritocratic and individualistic society. Methods Seventeen interviews were conducted among a group of Dutch people with a low socioeconomic...

Der narzisstische Hunger nach Selbstinszenierung auf der Bühne des Psychodramas

Sebastian Verbeek, Eckhard Frick

Zeitschrift für Psychodrama und Soziometrie > 2017 > 16 > 1 > 155-169

Dieser Beitrag für die Zeitschrift für Psychodrama und Soziometrie (ZPS) beschreibt, dass die psychodramatische Handlungspraxis die beiden Extreme narzisstischer Selbstinszenierung und ihre Mischformen darstellen und konstruktiv verändern kann. Narzisstisches Leid kann entstehen, wenn das vitale Bedürfnis nach Selbstinszenierung zu kurz kommt oder wenn es inflationär wird, oft auf Kosten anderer....

On Political Morality and the Conditions for Warranted Self-Respect

Matthew H. Kramer

The Journal of Ethics > 2017 > 21 > 4 > 335-349

In my recent book Liberalism with Excellence (2017: chapter 7), I have expounded at length a conception of warranted self-respect. That conception, which draws heavily though far from uncritically on the scattered passages about self-respect in the writings of John Rawls, is central to my defense of a variety of liberalism that combines and transfigures certain aspects of Rawlsianism and perfectionism...

Morality is necessary for happiness

Paul Bloomfield

Philosophical Studies > 2017 > 174 > 10 > 2613-2628

An argument for the eponymous conclusion is given through a series of hypothetical syllogisms, the most basic of which is as follows: morality is necessary for self-respect; self-respect is necessary for happiness; therefore, morality is necessary for happiness. Some of the most obvious objections are entertained and rejected.

Hate Speech, Dignity and Self-Respect

Jonathan Seglow

Ethical Theory and Moral Practice > 2016 > 19 > 5 > 1103-1116

This paper engages with the recent dignity-based argument against hate speech proposed by Jeremy Waldron. It’s claimed that while Waldron makes progress by conceptualising dignity less as an inherent property and more as a civic status which hate speech undermines, his argument is nonetheless subject to the problem that there are many sources of citizens’ dignitary status besides speech. Moreover,...

Forgiveness and Moral Development

Paula Satne

Philosophia > 2016 > 44 > 4 > 1029-1055

Forgiveness is clearly an important aspect of our moral lives, yet surprisingly Kant, one of the most important authors in the history of Western ethics, seems to have very little to say about it. Some authors explain this omission by noting that forgiveness sits uncomfortably in Kant’s moral thought: forgiveness seems to have an ineluctably ‘elective’ aspect which makes it to a certain extent arbitrary;...

Practicing Imperfect Forgiveness

Alice MacLachlan

Feminist Ethics and Social and Political Philosophy: Theorizing the Non-Ideal > Remaking the Moral and Political Subject > 185-204

Forgiveness is typically regarded as a good thing – even a virtue – but acts of forgiveness can vary widely in value, depending on their context and motivation. Faced with this variation, philosophers have tended to reinforce everyday concepts of forgiveness with strict sets of conditions, creating ideals or paradigms of forgiveness. These are meant to distinguish good or praiseworthy instances of...

Is the Free Market Acceptable to Everyone?

Matthew Clayton, David Stevens

Res Publica > 2015 > 21 > 4 > 363-382

In this paper we take issue with two central claims that John Tomasi makes in Free Market Fairness (2012). The first claim is that Rawls’s difference principle can better be realized by free market institutions than it can be by state interventionist regimes such as property-owning democracy or liberal socialism. We argue that Tomasi’s narrow interpretation of the difference principle, which focuses...

Self-Respect or Self-Delusion? Tomasi and Rawls on the Basic Liberties

Richard Penny

Res Publica > 2015 > 21 > 4 > 397-411

A central feature of John Tomasi’s ‘Free Market Fairness’ is the emphasis it places upon the good of self-respect. Like Rawls, Tomasi believes that accounts of justice ought to offer support for the self-respect of citizens. Indeed, this is a key way in which Tomasi aspires to engage with the ‘high-liberal’ tradition. Unlike Rawls however, Tomasi argues that this support is best provided by our treating...

Putting Incentives in Context: A Reply to Penny

Harrison P. Frye

Res Publica > 2015 > 21 > 1 > 93-98

Richard Penny argues that Rawls’s commitment to self-respect puts him at odds with his endorsement of unequalizing incentives. Penny draws on G.A. Cohen’s distinction between ‘lax’ and ‘strict’ readings of the difference principle to make this point. Given this, Penny concludes that Rawls faces a dilemma: either Rawls weakens his endorsement of unequalizing incentives or weakens his commitment to...

Incentives, Inequality and Self-Respect

Richard Penny

Res Publica > 2013 > 19 > 4 > 335-351

Rawls argues that ‘Parties in the original position would wish to avoid at almost any cost the social conditions that undermine self-respect’. But what are these social conditions that we should so urgently avoid? One evident candidate might be conditions of material inequality. Yet Rawls seems confident that his account of justice can endorse such inequalities without jeopardising citizens’ self-respect...

Enforcing Morality

Steven Wall

Criminal Law and Philosophy > 2013 > 7 > 3 > 455-471

In debating Patrick Devlin, H. L. A. Hart claimed that the “modern form” of the debate over the legal enforcement of morals centered on the “significance to be attached to the historical fact that certain conduct, no matter what, is prohibited by a positive morality.” This form of the debate was politically important in 1963 in Britain and America, and it remains politically important in these countries...

Women’s anger, epistemic personhood, and self-respect: an application of Lehrer’s work on self-trust

Kristin Borgwald

Philosophical Studies > 2012 > 161 > 1 > 69-76

I argue in this paper that the work of Keith Lehrer, especially in his book Self-Trust has applications to feminist ethics; specifically care ethics, which has become the leading form of normative sentimentalist ethics. I extend Lehrer’s ideas concerning reason and justification of belief beyond what he says by applying the notion of evaluation central to his account of acceptance to the need for...
