Abstract:
This article clarifies the recent epistemic rehabilitation of democracy and adds to it in two respects. First, I point out that the epistemic rehabilitation of democracy identifies an internal connection of democracy with normative truths—but only an external connection with substantial truth and correctness. Second, such an internal connection surfaces when we focus on the place of criticism in democracy. Criticism, however, presupposes pluralism and a recognition of the provisionality of decisions. So I, third, analyse prominent theories of truth and examine what conceptions of pluralism and provisionality they allow. This evokes a view emphasizing the unruly role of truth; criticism introduces a commitment to correctness, and this commitment to correctness underwrites the provisional nature of democratic decisions.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the adherence to absolute truth and moraluniversalism is compatible with democracy. The starting point is that there is absolute truthand absolute values.My thesis is that democracy in the form of universal suffrage is not necessarily in the wayof truth, but rather party politics and representative democracy. Abolishing the parties may besufficient to overcome both truth relativism and moral relativism, and thus provide analternative to abolishing universal suffrage. I suggest the problem lies in party politics, andthe way in which political talks are conducted, rather than in the right to vote.The investigation shows that democracy only have instrumental value. It shall be judgedbased on how well it promotes absolute truth and absolute values. Furthermore, representativedemocracy does not promote absolute truth and absolute values. One alternative isepistocracy. Another option is to abolish the parties, preserve universal suffrage, and createconditions for a new form of political dialogue. The conclusion is that the latter option is bestfor promoting the absolute truth.

Abstract:
Dissertação de Mestrado em Relações Internacionais
Democracy is in crisis around the world. Boosted by global phenomena such as globalization and the development of internet, along with a series of crises, which widened the gap between the elite and citizens, this trend was characterized by the rise of populism in both mature democracies and post-communist countries. The former model democratizers in Central-Eastern Europe turned into model democratic backsliders. The illiberal tendencies in the region have been generally judged by the Hungarian and Polish playbook. Although not as dramatically, also in Czech Republic democracy has been declining, mostly since the government of Andrej Babiš in 2017 and the reelection of Miloš Zeman president in 2018. This work examines the changes in the official post-1989 discourse through a two-dimensional discourse analysis, and thus explains what are the origins and character of the current democracy crisis, which arenas of democracy have been affected the most thus far, and finally if the “truth will prevail” over the illiberal challenge. Based on the theoretical concepts of democracy, transitology, democratic backsliding, populism and postfunctionalism, and an overview of historical-cultural context, we analyze the rhetorical strategies, domestic policy, and foreign policy dominant in the corpus of selected speeches of the Prime Minister and President. Next, we assess the impact of their new discourse on the arenas of democracy contrasting EIU’s Democracy Index and Freedom House’s Nations in Transit rankings. Overall, we sustain that the rise of the Czech illiberal populists has been rather a consequence than the origin of the current crisis, that the character of their new discourse is particular despite similarities with the backsliding neighbors, and finally, that there is hope for truth to prevail, consisting in a reform of certain arenas of the Czech democracy.
Democracia está em crise em todo o mundo. Reforçado pelos fenómenos globais como a globalização e o desenvolvimento da Internet, junto com uma série de crises, que aumentaram o fosso entre a elite e os cidadãos, esta dinâmica foi caraterizada pela ascensão de populismo em ambas democracias maduras e países pós-comunistas. Os antigos exemplos da democratização na Europa Central e de Leste tornaram-se exemplos de democratic backsliding. As tendências iliberais na região têm sido geralmente julgadas com base na cartilha húngara e polaca. Embora não tão dramaticamente, também a democracia na República Checa tem estado em declínio, sobretudo desde o início do governo de Andrej Babiš em 2017 e a reeleição presidencial de Miloš Zeman em 2018. Este trabalho examina as mudanças no discurso oficial pós-1989 através de uma análise de discurso de duas dimensões, e assim explica quais são as origens e o caráter da crise de democracia atual, quais arenas de democracia têm sido afetadas mais até agora, e finalmente se “a verdade prevalece” contra o desafio iliberal. Com base nos conceitos teóricos de democracia, transitologia, democratic backsliding, populismo e pósfuncionalismo, e um resumo do contexto histórico-cultural, analisamos as estratégias retóricas e as políticas doméstica e estrangeira dominantes no corpus de discursos selecionados do Primeiro-Ministro e do Presidente. Logo, avaliamos o impacto do seu novo discurso sobre as arenas de democracia contrastando os rankings do Índice de Democracia de EIU e de Nations in Transit de Freedom House. Contudo, defendemos que a ascensão dos populistas na República Checa tem sido uma consequência mais do que a origem da crise atual, que o caráter do seu novo discurso é particular apesar de semelhanças com os seus vizinhos em retrocesso, e finalmente que há esperança para a verdade prevalecer, consistindo numa reforma de certas arenas da democracia checa.

Abstract:
Democracy and the Rule of Knowledge The work starts from the analyses of epistocratic theorists, reconstructing their criticism to democracy in order to develop a broader reflection on the role of political knowledge (episteme) within democratic paradigm. The thesis aims to present knowledge as vital component of political agency that democracy assumes and institutionalizes. Nonetheless, epistocrats’ epistemic reductionism represents a misinterpretation of such an agency and, accordingly, the remedies they support are presented as a misunderstanding of episteme’s reach and function in political process. Chapter 1 focuses on epistocrats’ account of citizens’ epistemic littleness, emphasizing how ignorance and irrationality characterize their participation to political decision-making. Chapter 2 deals with the notion of political knowledge assumed by epistocracy: episteme is understood as a body of factual information, which constitutes the cognitive background of political decision-making. Chapter 3 argues that epistocratic interpretation of democracy recalls instrumentalism and, with it, the questionable assumption of politics as a mere epistemic practice. On the contrary, the thesis collocates the role of episteme in a procedural understanding of democracy, asserting that democracy embodies an “enlightened procedure”. In this view, democracy institutionalizes people’s capacity to formulate and consider factual truths (“serviceable truths”) concerning the context in which they operate as decision-makers. Chapter 4 challenges epistocracy by proposing an alternative institutional approach to deal with political ignorance. Democratic institutions have the duty to empower citizens’ epistemic agency, transforming the assumption of that agency into the commitment to spread political knowledge in society.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores the role of the "public" in Angolan politics. The first part of the thesis outlines how the notion of the "public" is perceived. This starts with a review of Jiirgen Habennas's seminal contribution - The Structural Transformation a/the Public Sphere and the debate it provoked. Subsequently, this thesis argues that for many reasons Habermas's framework is not suitable for studying the "public" in Angola, and as a result will proceed to outline an alternative approach in which the "public" is instantiated through acts and practices of truth-telling or parrhesia as understood by Michel Foucault. Having outlined the approach to this subject, the second part of this thesis moves on to reviewing the history of the "public" in Angola. Furthermore, the final part of the thesis looks at contemporary Angolan politics. Following a review of the constitutional, legal and socio-economic framework within which public life in Angola exists, the present study examines the workings of the "public" during _ ~d after Pope Benedict's visit to Angola in March 2009. Moreover, this thesis also looks at one of the few media outlets that managed to preserve its independence vis-a.-vis the political regimt} - the Catholic Radio Ecclesia. Thus, this thesis argues that the entrenched. political regime of the Movement for the Popular Liberation of Angola (MPLA) has succeeded in creating what is referred to in this thesis as a "pseudo-public sphere". In many ways this reality mimics the activities of a "genuine" public sphere as defined by Habermas. Nevertheless, this same reality is owned and controlled by the regime. Albeit this restricted atmosphere is a "counter-public sphere" emerging through acts of parrhesia, this thesis endeavours to analyse - -me complex interaction between the "pseudo-public" and the "counter-public".

Bibliography: leaves 157-166.
This study investigates the relation between the narrow "peace process" that followed from South Africa's the National Peace Accord (NPA) and the "truth process" that followed from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) during the country's transition to democracy. The study narrows down these two highly complex processes so that they can be studied in relation to each other. The NPA was instituted during the crucial transition period between 1990 and 1994 in order to contain the political violence that threatened to derail the negotiation process then under way. In contrast, the TRC was established in 1995, the later phase of the transition, as a means to deal with South Africa's conflictual and violent past. It was mandated to uncover past human rights violations under the over-riding objective of promoting national unity and reconciliation. The contributions of both, the NPA structures and the TRC process, to building peace and democracy in South Africa are explored independent of each other before they are set in relation to each other. On the basis of guiding-question interviews conducted with individuals having been part of the NPA and the TRC respectively, preliminary conclusions regarding the historical question of whether a direct link between the NPA structures and the TRC process existed in South Africa are drawn. Departing from there, theoretical implications of the assessed relationship between the "peace process" and the "truth process" in South Africa are discussed. Based on the South African experience the study suggests that conceptually a link between "processes of peace and truth" is desirable as it can provide a more sustainable basis for the building of peace and democracy but it also notes the difficulties of establishing such a link in practice. The study points out that a direct linkage between "processes of peace and truth" could connect the ‘negative' task of peace-building - the reduction of direct violence - to the ‘positive' task of peace building -- the rebuilding of relationships. It is argued that such a linkage would further promote democratic consolidation.

Nesta tese o binômio Democracia – Jurisdição é questionado ao escopo de perquirir as possibilidades, limites e conformações do exercício da jurisdição com o princípio democrático. Com esse objetivo, a tese deságua na filosofia hermenêutica e aposta na experiência do direito como ciência cultural à guisa de ensejar respostas corretamente justificadas, porque considera que a vinculação do texto ao contexto socio-econômico-cultural expõe o repositório de “cristalizações culturais subjacentes” que vão vincular os conteúdos os mais variados (contexto cultural) aos elementos texto-estruturais. Aposta-se, assim, numa íntima imbricação do contexto cultural com as estruturas políticas, sociais e econômicas, com o objetivo de imprimir conformação à defesa da dignidade da pessoa humana como “premissa cultural antropológica”, vale dizer, interpretada como os valores fundamentais que constituem toda a principiologia da dignidade da pessoa, de tal sorte a constituir blindagens no processo jurídico decisório contra a velha
The thesis analyzes the relationship between democracy and jurisdiction in order to understand the legal decision-making process beyond the realm of legal positivism. To this end, this work intends to show that legal experience must take into consideration cultural aspects of rights with a decisive contribution from philosophical hermeneutics as well as the bond that should exist between legal texts and their cultural context. In order to bring about a different perspective on the principle of human dignity as a "cultural anthropological premise" the work will comment "the underlying cultural crystallizations" which binds legal texts and the cultural context. As such, contributions from philosophical hermeneutics are presented to show that every hermeneutical situation must be examined considering both intersubjectivity and man´s insertion in the world according to his understanding of truth, enabling correct answers on issues of law and democracy. Thus, the thesis puts legal experience into a new paradigm by

Abstract:

Many researchers and political experts have commented on the disenfranchisement of the citizenry caused by irresponsible use of power by the government that potentially violates the 4th Amendment rights of millions of people through secret mass surveillance programs. Disclosures of this abuse of power are presumably protected by the 1st Amendment, though when constitutional protections are not followed by the government, the result can be prosecution and imprisonment of whistleblowers. Using a critical autoethnographic approach, the purpose of this study was to examine the devolution of democratic governance and constitutional rights in the United States since 9/11. Using the phenomena of my signature indictment (the first whistleblower since Daniel Ellsberg was charged under the Espionage Act) and prosecution by the U.S. government, data were collected through interviews with experts associated with this unique circumstance. These data, including my own recollections of the event, were inductively coded and subjected to a thematic analysis procedure. The findings revealed that the use of national security as the primary grounds to suppress democracy and the voices of whistleblowers speaking truth to, and about, power increased authoritarian tendencies in government. These tendencies gave rise to extra-legal autocratic behavior and sovereign state control over the institutions of democratic governance. Positive social change can only take place in a society that has robust governance and social structures that strengthen democracy, human rights, and the rule of law, and do not inhibit or suppress them.

This dissertation presents an interpretation concerning the critical considerations of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche on Modernity, especially Nietzsche s criticism of Modernity, of Christian mores and democracy produced by him in Beyond Good and Evil. Nietzsche attentively analyses details of Modernity, produces a diagnosis of modern man and discovers the sign of decay. We consider that Nietzsche s criticism of modernity is directly linked to the criticism of classic metaphysics. We emphasize questions like: what in us aspires to truth? Christian mores: why and what for? What characterizes modernity? Could it be the appeal to the democratic taste? Is it possible to reinvent Modernity? We stress the relation between the notion of truth, democracy and Christian mores, showing that these mores were also inherited from the Socratic culture. We also intend to clarify Nietzsche s proposal of a new way of doing philosophy, that would be able to surpass the decay which rules in European modern culture. The end of this research points out to the ―philosophers of the future‖ who are able, according to Nietzsche, to claim life beyond the metaphysics opposition, beyond the good and the evil

Nietzsche analisa atentamente os pormenores da modernidade, faz um diagn?stico do homem moderno e encontra o sinal da decad?ncia. Consideramos que a cr?tica de Nietzsche ? modernidade passa necessariamente pela cr?tica ? metaf?sica cl?ssica. Destacamos algumas quest?es como: o que em n?s aspira ? verdade?

Salientamos o v?nculo que existe entre a no??o de verdade, a democracia e os valores morais crist?os, mostrando que esses valores morais foram herdados da cultura socr?tica. Tamb?m esclarecemos a proposta nietzschiana de um novo modo de fazer filosofia, que seria capaz de ultrapassar a decad?ncia que impera na moderna cultura europeia.

Abstract:
This chapter starts with the observation that inner democracy faces not only the power-holder as an important obstacle but also the presence of a truth-holder within. One has the inclination to dig oneself into the trenches of one’s own sense of being right, in which alternative or contrary viewpoints are no longer taken into consideration, and a productive dialogue with oneself or another person or group cannot come about. Providing knowledge about certain subject matter does not add much in this particular case, because many people are inclined to assume a point of view without knowledge about the underlying facts. In that context, the obstinacy with which we defend moral viewpoints and the intolerance for ambiguity are discussed.

Abstract:
Liquid democracy, which combines features of direct and representative democracy has been proposed as a modern practice for collective decision making. Its advocates support that by allowing voters to delegate their vote to more informed voters can result in better decisions. In an attempt to evaluate the validity of such claims, we study liquid democracy as a means to discover an underlying ground truth. We revisit a recent model by Kahng et al. [2018] and conclude with three negative results, criticizing an important assumption of their modeling, as well as liquid democracy more generally. In particular, we first identify cases where natural local mechanisms are much worse than either direct voting or the other extreme of full delegation to a common dictator. We then show that delegating to less informed voters may considerably increase the chance of discovering the ground truth. Finally, we show that deciding delegations that maximize the probability to find the ground truth is a computationally hard problem.

Abstract:
Voting is a crucial methodology for eliciting and combining agents' preferences and information across many applications. Just as there are numerous voting rules exhibiting different properties, we also see many different voting systems. In this paper we investigate how different voting systems perform as a function of the characteristics of the underlying voting population and social network. In particular, we compare direct democracy, liquid democracy, and sortition in a ground truth voting context. Through simulations -- using both real and artificially generated social networks -- we illustrate how voter competency distributions and levels of direct participation affect group accuracy differently in each voting mechanism. Our results can be used to guide the selection of a suitable voting system based on the characteristics of a particular voting setting.

Abstract:
Rising levels of disinformation and fake news have been posing risk to democracy, public health and wellbeing of a democratic society, an issue becoming even more evident during Covid-19 pandemic. Thus, in the current post-truth era, where opinions are becoming more important than facts, scientific literacy skills enhanced by education is seen as one of the solutions to help combat a threat of misleading information. In order to understand the most effective educational approaches that aims to enhance science literacy skills, systemic literature review of the research articles published between year 2018 and 2021 were performed. The goal of this systemic literature review is to gain an overview on the most researched learning techniques and approaches that has proven to successfully improve educational processes and enhance scientific literacy and understanding of science. After content analysis of 262 article abstracts containing keywords “Science literacy” or “Scientific literacy” on the Web of Science database, a total of 54 articles were identified that had described a learning approach or a technique that has improved learning process and results in the subjects of science, technology, engineering or mathematics while enhancing general understanding of science and improving science literacy. It was found that the following learning approaches were seen to be effective when improving scientific literacy skills – citizen science, context-based learning, inquiry-based learning (including discovery learning method, guided inquiry, and active learning), problem-based learning and socio-scientific learning approach. Each of the approaches were analysed and compared to find common/different aspects that can help identify and choose the right approach for specific target audience.
