Abstract:
Abstract This paper develops a position I call “apathetic pragmatism.” Apathetic pragmatism is a form of pragmatism that, through advocating “apathy” about the topic of truth, avoids the troubled identification of utility and truth found in classical and neo pragmatist theories of truth. Initially explored by Stephen Stich, I argue Stich’s case for apathetic pragmatism relies upon a theory of truth that causes vicious circularity. I then pursue a different route to apathetic pragmatism, one that sees apathetic pragmatism as a “paradigm shift” in relation to previous forms of pragmatism. It is a paradigm shift where pragmatism becomes a normative view concerning the questions that are necessary to ask, not an attempt to answer questions assumed necessary.

Abstract:
AbstractThis article discusses the advantages of a pragmatist theory of global democracy for understanding the political relevance of new phenomena such as the emergence of forms of private authority and transnational movements in tackling with global issues. The article shows in particular that the pragmatist notion of ‘publics’ offers promising insights and proves particularly promising for completing the transition from methodological nationalism to methodological cosmopolitanism that is required to understand new normative practices developing at the global level and to inquire into their conditions of validity. After having presented a basic outline of the pragmatist theory of democracy, I discuss the contribution of pragmatism to the critique of methodological nationalism and proceed then to examine and reject two alternative approaches to global politics – transnational public sphere theory and global representation theory – showing why they fail to overcome methodological nationalism. The last two sections explore private entrepreneurial authority in contexts of global governance and shows that pragmatism succeeds in explaining their political role, while the other two approaches fail.

Abstract:
Resumo: O tema deste texto é a relação entre pragmatismo e instituições. O argumento é conduzido pela coleta de pistas histórico-filosóficas em posse das quais são sustentáveis três leituras pragmatistas sobre o fenômeno das instituições. Cada leitura é uma abordagem normativa aplicável à institucionalidade existente. A primeira abordagem sugere a apologia das instituições convencionais, admitidas como acervo organizativo exemplar de uma sociedade livre e justa. A segunda abordagem enfatiza a transgressão aos arranjos institucionais vigentes, denunciados por seu conservadorismo residual, que precisaria ser enfrentado pela ação potencializada – inclusive, no limite, a do “homem providencial”. A terceira tendência indica um caminho de equilíbrio entre a mobilização individual e coletiva e o corpo de instituições formais hodiernas, visando mobilizar a sociedade politicamente pela sua reconstrução, sem desmerecer o sentido e a utilidade das instituições que a compõem e articulam. O painel tipológico com que essas abordagens são construídas é preenchido por passagens textuais de notáveis filósofos pragmatistas que as confirmam ou as respaldam indiretamente.Palavras-chave: Pragmatismo. Instituições. Sociedade. Ação. Abstract: This text has as its theme the relation between pragmatism and institutions. The argument is guided by some historical-philosophical tips with which three pragmatist interpretations of institutional phenomenon are possible. Each of them is a normative approach which is applicable to the current institutionality. The first one suggests the apology of the conventional institutions, by considering them the emblematic organizative collection of a free and fair society. The second approach focus on the transgression of the current institutional arrangements, which are denounced by its residual conservativism what should be faced by the human potentiated action – even that from the “providential man”. The third perspective shows a path that balances individual and collective mobilization with formal institutions, by aiming to make society politically mobilized without belittling the existent institutions whereby a reconstructive agenda. The typological panel of these approaches is confirmed or indirectly supported by some textual fragments of notable pragmatists.Keywords: Pragmatism. Institutions. Society. Action.

Abstract:
A popular evidentialist argument against pragmatism is based on reason internalism: the view that a normative reason for one to φ must be able to guide one in normative deliberation whether to φ. In the case of belief, this argument maintains that, when deliberating whether to believe p, one must deliberate whether p is true. Since pragmatic considerations cannot weigh in our deliberation whether p, the argument concludes that pragmatism is false. I argue that evidentialists fail to recognize that the question whether to φ is essentially the question whether one should φ. Furthermore, the question of whether one should believe p can be answered on pragmatic grounds. The internalist argument turns out to favor pragmatism.

Abstract:
AbstractThis article is an intervention in recent debates about conceptual and normative theorisations of human rights, which have been increasingly characterised by a divide between ‘moral’ and ‘practice-based’/’political’ understandings. My aim is to articulate an alternative, pragmatist understanding of human rights, one that is importantly distinct from the practice-based account with which it might be thought affiliated. In the first part of the article, I reveal the fundamental flaw in the practice-based account of human rights: I argue that it is undermined by the ontological thesis at its heart, which naturalises and reifies political arrangements and institutions that are radically contingent. In the second part, I identify, and outline the attractiveness of, a pragmatist normative account of human rights. In contrast to the practice-based approach, this pragmatist account construes human rights in ideational terms. The pragmatist understanding accepts both the contingency of our practices and the cultural limits to moral justification, while nevertheless retaining a commitment to the enterprise of normative philosophical conversation. I argue, in contrast to prevailing interpretations, that the international theory advanced by John Rawls exemplifies a pragmatist account of human rights and points a way forward for theoretically fruitful but appropriately circumscribed analysis of the concept.

Abstract:
Johnson and Degeling have recently enquired whether one health (OH) requires a comprehensive normative framework, concluding that such a framework, while not necessary, may be helpful. In this commentary, we provide a context for this debate, and describe how pragmatism has been predominant in the OH literature. We nevertheless argue that articulating a comprehensive normative theory to ground OH practice might clear existing vagueness and provide stronger guidance in relevant health dilemmas. A comprehensive theory will also be needed eventually to ground notions such as universal good. We, thus, call for the systematic articulation of a comprehensive, metaethical theory, concomitantly with already ongoing normative work.

Abstract:
Abstract This article offers the outlines of a historically-informed conception of critical inquiry herein named genealogical pragmatism. This conception of critical inquiry combines the genealogical emphasis on problematization featured in Michel Foucault’s work with the pragmatist emphasis on reconstruction featured in John Dewey’s work. The two forms of critical inquiry featured by these thinkers are not opposed, as is too commonly supposed. Genealogical problematization and pragmatist reconstruction fit together for reason of their mutual emphasis on the importance of history for philosophy. In so fitting together they repair crucial deficits in both traditions as they currently stand on their own (namely, genealogy’s normative deficit and pragmatism’s excessive instrumentalism). The resulting conception of critical inquiry as simultaneously problematizational and reconstructive is offered as a first step toward a crucial philosophical task we face today: articulating normativity without foundations.

This paper focuses on the figure of precedent. Brazilians constitutional and processes reforms lead off to a new expertise: the system of binding decisions. The primarily founded basis for this new model is the utilitarian interests and the production targets, which does not seem satisfactory to itsopposite side: the correct cognition and reasoning of justice. At first, this paper looks into the stare decisis technique: a sort of a mechanical system that searches the judicial court´s precedents, typical in countries with Common Law traditions. Reached certain conclusions, the author embraces the theory ideate by Ronald Dworkin and Robert Alexy, mainly the qualitative assortment between rules and principles. After a review about the need to rely on a paradigm of discourse, this paper concludes that that theory of stare decisis and the model proposed by the legislatives reforms are insufficient in order to propitiate a full understanding of the whole precedent theory, and suggests a third kind of legal standard of law, endowed with legal force by means of reason, which was first conceived by Jürgen Habermas doctrine. With this new initial concept, the author proposes a new figure for the stare decisis cognition, by legal certainty, accountability, argumentative basis, etc. At last, finishes by rejecting the existing legislative model, arguing that it reveals the revival of a paradigm which has long surpassed: the judge as the mouth of the law
O presente trabalho enfoca a figura do precedente. As reformas constitucionais e do processo iniciaram uma nova mentalidade no direito brasileiro: a de um sistema de decisões vinculantes. Propostos moldes para tal sistema, com base principalmente nos interesses utilitaristas e de metas de produção, eles não se mostram satisfatórios para o outro lado da moeda: a correta cognição e fundamentação da justiça. Recorre o trabalho, inicialmente, a uma investigação sobre o stare decisis: uma espécie de mecânica do sistema de precedentes judiciais nos países de tradição do common law. Alcançadas certas conclusões, o autor adota a teoria de Ronald Dworkin e Robert Alexy, notadamente a classificação qualitativa das normas jurídicas entre regras e princípios. Após uma crítica sobre a necessidade de se apoiar em um paradigma discursivo, o trabalho conclui que esta teoria e o modelo de súmula vinculante proposto pela reforma não são suficientes para uma compreensão integral dos precedentes, pelo que propõe seu conceito como terceira espécie de norma jurídica, dotada de força normativa por meio de razões, com o que muito se buscou em Jürgen Habermas. Com este novo conceito inicial, o autor propõe novas roupagens às noções de stare decisis, segurança jurídica, responsabilidade argumentativa, etc., rechaçando por fim o modelo existente pela razão de se tratar de uma retomada de um paradigma há muito superado: o juiz bocada‐ lei

Abstract:
This thesis reports the results of both normative and empirical investigations into human conditional reasoning, i.e. reasoning using if ... then and related constructions. Previous empirical investigations have concentrated on experimental paradigms like Wason's Selection Task, where subjects must assess evidence relevant to the truth or falsity of a conditional rule. Popperian falsification provided the normative theory by which to assess errorful behaviour on these tasks. However, it is doubtful whether this is an appropriate normative theory from which to derive a competence model of human reasoning abilities. The relationship between normative theory and competence model need not be direct, no more than the relationship between competence model and performance needs to be. However, research in this area has imported a theory directly into individual psychology from the philosophy of science. On the apparently orthodox assumption of directness, continued adherence to this import may stand in need of re-assessment in the light of the quite radical descriptive inadequacy of falsification as a model of rational scientific inquiry. However, this model also possesses the virtue of relating the interpretation of the rule directly to the normative task strategy. Hence, this thesis has two aims: first, to retain the virtue of a direct relation between normative task strategy and interpretation while simultaneously offering a competence model which is consistent with more recent and descriptively adequate accounts of the process of scientific inquiry. In Part I, this will involve introducing a semantic theory (situation semantics) and showing that the process of inquiry implicit in this semantic theory is consistent with recent normative conceptions in the philosophy of science. The second aim is to show that the competence model derived in Part I can provide a sound rational basis for subjects' observed patterns of reasoning in conditional reasoning tasks. In Part II, chapter 5, the data obtained from the Wason Selection Task using only affirmative rules is discussed and the behaviour observed rationally reconstructed in terms of the competence model of Part I. A central concept of that model is partial interpretation (motivated by concerns of context sensitivity). Prima facie evidence for partial interpretation is provided by the observation of defective truth tables. However, in conditional reasoning experiments using negated constituents, this evidence has been interpreted differently. A subsidiary aim of Part II (which will constitute the largest section of this thesis) therefore concerns the empirical demonstration of the consistency of this data with the competence model.

Abstract:
Is truth valuable? In addressing this question, one must parse it into questions that are more manageable. Is the property of truth only instrumentally valuable, or is it both instrumentally valuable and noninstrumentally valuable? Is the normativity of the concept of truth an intrinsic or extrinsic property of the concept? In addressing the first of these questions, I show that certain arguments are flawed, arguments that purport to show that truth is not valuable in any kind of way. After establishing that it is reasonable to think that the property of truth is valuable, I show how inflationists and deflationists can agree that the property of truth is noninstrumentally valuable. In addressing the second question, I rely on the distinction between semantics and pragmatics and the resources of moral semantics to claim that the normativity of the concept of truth is an extrinsic feature of the concept. I conclude that the property of truth is both instrumentally and noninstrumentally valuable and that the normativity associated with the concept of truth is an extrinsic property of the concept. In doing so, I suggest that beginning with an investigation about the value and normativity of truth has important ramifications for theories of truth in general.

Abstract:
Underlying institutional forms are normative orders which give meaning to rules, norms, practices and customs. It is only recently that scholars have seriously considered the role of normative orders in institutional dynamics. Two meta-theories of institutionalism offer competing visions of how these normative orders are invoked. The Institutional Logics Perspective calls normative orders “institutional logics” and suggest that they are invoked in a consistent stable fashion. The Pragmatist Institutionalism approach calls normative orders “anchoring concepts” and suggests that they are used in less predictable ways to produce meaning. This study introduces the concept of fidelity to capture the difference between these two approaches and test which approach may offer a more accurate account of how normative orders are invoked in practice. The study uses the case of the USCG response to melting Arctic ice to study this issue by focusing on the two most dominant normative orders of American government. The study relies on interviews conducted with USCG personnel dealing with the agency’s response to melting Artic Ice. The data is then analyzed through a narrative analysis framework. The study finds that normative orders are invoked, in this case, in a manner more closely aligned with Pragmatist Institutionalism. This finding has implications for how administrative judgement is understood especially with respect to public agencies.

A presente pesquisa versa sobre as principais raízes do experimentalismo a influenciar Oliver Wendel Holmes Junior, a exemplo de: Aristóteles, Smith e Peirce, culminando no Pragmatismo Jurídico, consubstanciado em um modelo de Estado a dotar uma política econômica liberal, terminando por separar a utilização das normas morais, das normas jurídicas. Holmes apenas almeja separar a moral da aplicação do Direito, como faz em “The Path of The Law”. Posner, um dos seus mais fervorosos admiradores, termina por criar um modelo teórico inovador, afastando por completo a norma moral da prática jurígena e inaugura a análise econômica do direito, como defendido pela maioria da doutrina. As críticas ao seu trabalho surgiram como uma decorrência lógica, trazendo modificações às suas teorias de escolha da maximização de riquezas como elemento ético primordial a nortear o Direito. As teses, aqui, levantadas versam sobre quatro pontos específicos: Há similaridades entre retórica e pragmatismo? Adam Smith ou Posner: quem seria o verdadeiro artífice da análise econômica do direito? Quais o motivo principal de sua prosperidade em Estados liberais? Por fim, como aproveitar a vasta e rica teoria criada por Posner, a mais inovadora do século passado e em crescente expansão no Brasil?

Abstract:
Public relations has traditionally claimed a close association with dialogue, but this research demonstrates that formal notions of dialogue have little relevance to the real world of public relations practice. Instead, practitioners undertake pragmatic forms of two-way communication, because the constraints within which they work mean dialogue is difficult if not impossible to carry out. This qualitative research project shows that although the label of 'dialogue' has been co-opted in both the theory and practice of public relations, this claimed connection is not supported by empirical evidence.

Abstract:
This study investigates Swedish aid and its focus on democracy and human rights. It analyses the space given to these normative objectives in relation to pragmatic considerations like strategic interests and institutional incentives. It does so by reviewing official documents and interviewing aid actors at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) and at the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), to outline what objectives and incentives are guiding in Swedish aid. It also analyses how these factors affect critical decisions on whether aid should be suspended or not, to see how much normative objectives matter in such contexts. By doing so, this study contributes to the literature on democracy aid and aid suspension, as well as to research on Sweden as a donor country. Previous research has shown that normative considerations are often subordinated to strategic interests in foreign aid because of the complexity of many conflicting interests. In addition, decisions guided by strategic interests often include institutional incentives as well. This study finds that the policy frameworks for Swedish aid are integrated in the work of MFA and Sida. Both normative and pragmatic considerations, mainly institutional incentives, are referred to both in the documents and by the aid actors. In contrast to much other literature however, normative principles seem to dominate in Swedish aid. There is great emphasis on the importance of poverty reduction and promotion of democracy and human rights, even though the whole picture with donor interests also has to be taken into account.

Abstract:
After 12 years of isolation, the relations between Brussels and Minsk have been thawing starting in the last year. One of the components of the policy of re-engagement is the new initiative adopted by the EU called Eastern Partnership (EaP). This thesis sought to answer following question: what were the main reasons for the change in the EU policy towards Belarus after 2008? In order to answer the research question I formulated two hypotheses. The first hypothesis argues that while the EU has acted according to the normative power expectations up until 2008, after that date a more pragmatic approach in the foreign policy has been at work. The second hypothesis explains this change by the increasing influence of Eastern European countries in realm of decision-making processes within the EU, which resulted in a reformed EU foreign policy towards Belarus.These hypotheses are tested in a qualitative case study of the launching of the Eastern Partnership initiative, seen as the most important instrument that defines the new policy of EU. I will focus on the process of decision–making in regards to the adoption of the new initiative towards the Eastern European countries, using the rational actor model and the theory of formal leadership. The results of the paper point out that the main reason for changing the EU foreign policy towards Belarus were connected to pragmatic interests in the economic and energy areas, which weakened the EU normative claims. However, EU values are still counted as political conditionality has recently re-entered the agenda. Thus, the current foreign policy is two-fold: based on rational model of acting and normative power. Moreover, the EaP is the result of the strengthened position of Eastern European countries in terms of the power hierarchy among EU members, with Poland, and the Baltic States playing an increasingly larger role.

Abstract:
The recent emergence of sustainability science has created opportunities and challenges for environmental ethics. On the one hand, the fast growth and increasing influence of sustainability science in environmental management and policy circles—and its normative character as a goal-directed enterprise focused on moving society toward a more durable socio-ecological relationship—provides an opening for environmental ethics to contribute to the development of this new transdisciplinary science. Yet traditional (and historically dominant) nonanthropocentric ethics will prove difficult to reconcile with sustainability science’s strong emphasis on the anthropocentric goals of improving human welfare and well-being. A more explicitly pragmatic understanding of environmental ethics, a view that combines respect for nature with a wider sense of value pluralism (including more human-directed values) in the cautious shaping of ecological systems for conservation and human benefit, has the potential to draw the two fields closer together at this critical stage in their developmental trajectories.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Pragmatist Quietism argues that there are objective ethical truths that neither require nor admit of a vindication or foundation from domains outside of ethics—metaphysics, semantics, epistemology, and so on. First, it argues that normative-ethical debates are similar in important ways to debates that philosophers call ‘merely verbal’; the key difference is that the former influence action and affect in a way that the latter do not. It then uses this set of features to explain why there are objective ethical truths that don’t need or allow for extra-ethical vindication, but also why it can sometimes seem as though ethics is not objective. This explanation of ethical objectivity without foundations is a distinctly pragmatist one, where pragmatism is the approach to inquiry and explanation on which we endeavour to guide our beliefs by considerations of value rather than by the accurate representation of the world. The meta-ethical outlook is then applied to issues in moral epistemology, including disagreement, and debunking arguments.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter develops a contextualist account of normative language, focusing on broadly normative readings of modal verbs. The account draws on a more general framework for implementing a contextualist semantics and pragmatics, Discourse Contextualism. The aim of Discourse Contextualism is to derive the discourse properties of normative language from a contextualist interpretation of an independently motivated formal semantics, along with principles of interpretation and conversation. In using normative language, interlocutors can exploit their grammatical and world knowledge, and general pragmatic reasoning skills, to manage an evolving system of norms. Discourse Contextualism provides a perspicuous framework for further philosophical theorizing about the nature of normativity, normative language, and normative judgment. Delineating these issues can help refine our understanding of the space of overall theories and motivate more fruitful ways the dialectics may proceed. Discourse Contextualism provides a linguistic basis for a more comprehensive theory of normativity and normative discourse and practice.

In recent years, Charles Sanders Peirce has emerged as one of America's major philosophical thinkers. His work has invited philosophical reflection about those basic issues that inevitably confront us as human beings, especially in an age of science. Peirce's concern for experience, for what is actually encountered, means that his philosophy forms a reflective commentary on actual life and on the world in which it is lived. This book argues that Peirce's doctrine of the normative sciences is essential to his pragmatism. No part of Peirce's philosophy is bolder than his attempt to establish esthetics, ethics, and logic as the three normative sciences and to argue for the priority of esthetics among the trio. The book shows that Pierce took seriously the trinity of normative sciences and demonstrates that these categories apply both to the conduct of man and to the workings of the cosmos. It combines sympathetic and informed exposition with straightforward criticism and deals with the gaps and inconsistencies in Peirce's thought. It shows that Peirce was above all a cosmological and ontological thinker, one who combined science both as a method and as result with a conception of reasonable actions to form a comprehensive theory of reality. Peirce's pragmatism, is not a glorification of action but rather a theory of the dynamic nature of things in which the “ideal” dimension of reality has genuine power for directing the cosmic order, including man, toward reasonable goals.

Abstract:
This chapter examines three of Alvin Plantinga’s arguments for the existence of God: the Putnamian argument (or the argument from global skepticism), the argument from reference, and the Kripke-Wittgenstein argument from plus and quus. They begin with skeptical arguments against the possibility of knowledge, reference, or content and convert them into arguments for God’s existence. The key idea behind these arguments is that content and the knowledge of it are infinitary and normative. These features of content make it impossible to account for a speaker’s content, since a finite being’s dispositions are finite. Content requires a non-naturalistic relation to an infinite set of finite minds or to an infinite mind. The only options for accounting for content are pragmatism and theism. If pragmatism fails, then theism is the only remaining option.
