Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'ambition initiale de Rawls est de présenter une analyse de la justice distributive supérieure à la conception utilitariste, incapable, selon lui, de fournir une base satisfaisante de la justice dans le cadre d'une démocratie. Pour ce faire, Rawls mobilisera, dans son principal ouvrage Théorie de la Justice [1971], des idées empreintes de la philosophie politique et morale anglosaxonne mais également de très nombreux concepts forgés par les économistes. Cet ouvrage devient ainsi une référence incontournable pour la philosophie politique contemporaine mais aussi pour les théories économiques de la justice sociale. Notre thèse se propose de reconstruire la théorie de Rawls dont les études, nombreuses mais morcelées, ont donné lieu à des interprétations très contradictoires. Etudier la pensée de l'auteur à l'aune de l'économie sert à donner une cohérence d'ensemble à la justice comme équité, depuis sa genèse jusqu'à ses derniers développements. Cette méthodologie, en effet, nous permet de montrer qu'au-delà de l'indétermination du principe de différence - qui peut justifier tant une politique ultralibérale qu'une politique inspirée des idéaux socialistes - l'amélioration de la situation des plus défavorisés passe par le dépassement du système capitaliste. Ce système n'est pas à même de répondre aux exigences des principes de justice défendus par Rawls.

Download or read book Th orie de la justice written by John Rawls and published by Seuil. This book was released on 1997 with total page 665 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre est considéré dans le monde anglo-saxon comme le texte contemporain le plus important de la philosophie morale et politique. C'est un déli lancé à tous ceux qui pensent que la justice sociale et l'efficacité économique sont incompatibles. Théorie de la justice est un livre de portée universelle, à cause, d'une part, du dialogue qu'il instaure entre deux traditions opposées - Rousseau et Kant confrontés à l'utilitarisme de Mill et de Sidgwick - et, d'autre part, de la rigueur et de la profondeur des analyses qui y sont proposées. C'est, au meilleur sens du terme, un livre de philosophie engagé, donnant aux préoccupations morales et politiques de cette fin du XXe siècle - de la justice sociale à l'écologie, de la politique de l'éducation à la théorie de l'obéissance civile - une armature intellectuelle et une clarté déductive qui leur manquaient. Dans ce livre, souvent difficile mais exaltant, John Rawls a formulé ce qu'on pourrait appeler une charte de la social-démocratie moderne, avec ses forces et ses faiblesses.

Download or read book Moral Geographies written by David Marshall Smith and published by Ethics in a World of Differenc. This book was released on 2000 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the interface between geography, ethics and morality. It considers questions that have haunted the past, are subjects of controversy in the present, and which affect the future. Does distance diminish responsibility? Should we interfere with the lives of those we do not know? Is there a distinction between private and public space? Which values and morals, if any, are absolute, and which cultural, communal or personal? And are universal rights consistent with respect for difference? David Smith shows how these questions play themselves out in politics, planning, development, social and personal relations, the exploitation of resources, and competition for territory. After introducing the essential elements of moral philosophy from Plato to postmodernism, he examines the moral significance of concepts of landscape, location and place, proximity, distance and community, space and territory, justice, and nature. He is concerned above all with the morality people practice, to see how this varies according to geographical context, and to assess the inevitability of its outcomes. His argument is seamlessly interwoven with everyday observation and vividly described case studies: the latter include genocide and rescue during the Holocaust, the conflicts over space between Israeland Palestine and within Israel itself, and the social tensions and aspirations in post-apartheid South Africa. The meaning, possibility and limits of social justice lie at the heart of the book. That geographical context is vital to the understanding of moral practice and ethical theory is its central proposition. The book is clearly and engagingly written. The author has a student readership in mind, but his book will appeal widely to geographers and others involved in planning, development, politics, social theory, and the analysis of the contemporary world.

This book was released on 2011-07-13 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The topic of this volume was discussed at a Round Table of the International Association for Dialogue Analysis (IADA) at the University of Bologna in March 1995. The Round Table was intended to make a scientific contribution in honour of the president's 65th birthday. The topic refers on the one hand to the central problem of 'Dialogue Analysis' which is to discover a new, communicatively functioning unit after having left behind the unit of the sentence which can be considered the unit par excellence of structural linguistics. On the other hand, it includes the manifold units, relations, and strategies, i.e. the specific problems of dialogue analysis.
