SUMMARY:Stefano Calboli // AI Nudging and Autonomy: Delineating the issue and embracing the bright side
DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Ethics Politics and Society (CEPS)\, University of Minho \nCEPS PhD Seminar\, Thursday\, May 23 at 15h (GMT) – online \nStefano Calboli (CEPS)\, “AI Nudging and Autonomy: Delineating the issue and embracing the bright side” \nAbstract: In this presentation\, I consider the use of AI in the practice of nudging and discuss its impact on the decision autonomy of nudges. In the first part of the presentation\, I examine the arguments that suggest AI-driven nudges are more concerning for decision autonomy than traditional nudges\, here understood as nudges devoid of AI. In the second part\, I identify the cases that are actually problematic for decision autonomy\, emphasizing that the increase in effectiveness due to the hyper-personalization characteristic of AI-driven nudges does not necessarily imply an increase in problematic cases from the standpoint of decision autonomy. In the third and final part of the presentation\, I argue that even admitting that AI-driven nudges increase the number of cases where decision autonomy is at risk\, the potential of AI can also be used to improve the quality of ethical safeguards required in nudging. First\, I argue that AI can be used to better identify cases that are actually problematic for decision autonomy compared to methods that do not utilize AI\, allowing for a more precise understanding of the decision-makers’ preferences and wills. I conclude by arguing that AI furthermore enables us to optimize accuracy in identifying the specific cases on which the impact on the nudgee’s decision autonomy is assessed. The pressure exerted by the nudge is not indifferent to certain elements of the decisional environment in which the nudge is embedded. AI systems can assist us in the difficult task of grouping similar cases in terms of the nudge embedded in a certain decision-making environment (rather than considering only the nudge)\, computing the pressure exerted\, and acting promptly accordingly to safeguard decision autonomy.

SUMMARY:[PDRHP] Workshop on Populism\, Demagoguery and Rhetoric in Historical Perspective
DESCRIPTION:WORKSHOP ON POPULISM\, DEMAGOGUERY AND RHETORIC IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE\n\n\n\nPrinceton University\, May 8\, 2024\, 9:00 am – 1:00 pm\n\n\n  \nThe workshop is co-sponsored by the Forum for the History of Political Thought and the FCT (Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology) project\, “Populism\, Demagoguery and Rhetoric in Historical Perspective”. PDRHP is a research project dedicated to the study of populism\, demagoguery\, and rhetoric in historical perspective. The project is funded by the Foundation of Science and Technology (Portugal) and based at the Centre for Ethics\, Politics and Society of UMinho under the coordination of Giuseppe Ballacci.\n \n\n\n\nDetails: Populism stands as one of the most scrutinized subjects in political science scholarship today. However\, much of this work makes little effort to historicize populism. At best\, historical scholarship on the phenomenon may trace its roots as far back as the nineteenth century\, to movements like narodnichestvo in Russia or the People’s Party in the United States. But to treat populism as a problem of contemporary politics is also to neglect the rich bodies of discourse throughout the history of political thought\, ancient and modern\, surrounding perennial issues like popular power and its forms of articulation\, conflicts between oligarchic and popular factions\, tensions between the technical expertise of ‘the few’ and the opinions of ‘the many\,’ disputes over different models of political leadership and civic education\, the problem of demagoguery the question of public rhetoric\, or the role of myths and collective imaginaries in political mobilization. This workshop brings together political theorists to explore the connections between contemporary populism and relevant topics in the history of ideas.\n\n\n\n  \nSpeakers: Giuseppe Ballacci (CEPS)\, Rob Goodman (Toronto Metropolitan)\, Tae-Yeoun Keum (UC Santa Barbara / UCHV LSR Fellow 2023-24)\, Alessandro Mulieri (UPenn / Ca’ Foscari University of Venice)\, David Ragazzoni (Columbia) and Thomás Zicman de Barros (CEPS). \n\n\nAudience: Open to Princeton University ID Holders.

SUMMARY:Manuel Valente // Ageing\, Equality and Community
DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Ethics Politics and Society (CEPS)\, University of Minho \nCEPS Seminar Meetings\, Friday\, May 3 at 11h (GMT) – hybrid format \nManuel Valente (CEPS)\, “Ageing\, Equality and Community” \nAbstract: How should a just society deal with the fact that the longevity of its members is increasing? The fact that we live to older ages raises a puzzle for egalitarians (Bou-Habib 2023): if a) people who live longer tend to be more fortunate than those who do not\, b) how can egalitarian societies justify devoting much of their state budget to the special needs of the more fortunate? In this article\, I make two claims. The first\, less surprising one\, is that distributive and relational equality reply to this challenge differently. The former can easily explain a) but have difficulty answering b); the opposite goes for relational equality. This may explain why many theorists of age-group justice now combine both principles (e.g.\, Bidadanure 2021). But the second more surprising finding is that the principles remain insufficient to explain some critical cases. I propose filling this gap with G.A. Cohen’s principle of community\, which requires caring relations across ages\, not just egalitarian ones. Community is a promising but neglected principle of age-group justice that\, together with equality\, could help enrich the literature on ageing.

SUMMARY:Workshop // Nudge: Behavioral Objectives and Technological Means
DESCRIPTION:Workshop (part of the CEPS Seminars) \nNudge: Behavioral Objectives and Technological Means \nVenue: Sala CEPS (Edifício ELACH)\, Campus de Gualtar\, Universidade do Minho\, Braga \nDate: 18 March 2024\, 10h \nContributions by:  \nStefano Calboli (University of Minho) \nMarta Santos Silva (University of Minho) \nCristiana Cerqueira Leal (University of Minho) \nViktor Ivankovic (Institute of Philosophy\, Zagreb) \nBart Engelen (Tilburg University) \n  \nAbstract: Nudges are policy instruments that have caught the attention of more attentive policymakers worldwide. They are gentle pushes that leverage certain human cognitive limitations rather than relying on coercive interventions and economic incentives and disincentives. This workshop will address some ethical aspects related to the pursued outcomes\, the use of artificial intelligence tools and social robots\, and the status of nudges compared to other forms of influence made available by emerging technologies \nProgram: https://sites.google.com/view/ceps-workshop-on-nudge/home-page \nZoom link: tinyurl.com/nudgeworkshop

SUMMARY:Alejandro Berrotarán // Taxes and property rights: the conception of property underlying the principle of ability to pay
DESCRIPTION:CEPS PhD Seminars  \nTaxes and property rights: the conception of property underlying the principle of ability to pay \nby Alejandro Berrotarán (UNC – Argentina) \nBio: Alejandro Berrotarán is an Assistant Professor and a PhD candidate in law at the National University of Córdoba (Argentina). He has been a visiting researcher at the University of Melbourne (Australia)\, the University of Girona (Spain)\, and the Université catholique de Louvain (Belgium). His research focuses on distributive justice\, tax law\, and the inheritance of wealth \nAbstract: The traditional view on taxation considers taxes as a necessary moral evil. A moral evil because they affect the taxpayer’s moral right to private property\, yet necessary for the functioning of the State. This presentation challenges the conception of property rights that underlies the traditional way tax principles and taxes are perceived. In contrast to the prevailing pre-institutional conception of property rights\, it advocates for an institutional conception. By analyzing the principle of ability-to-pay\, it critiques the normative assumptions inherent in the way taxes are understood and proposes an alternative institutional approach grounded in Kant and Rawls. This institutional view offers a principled approach to limit State tax authority and reconcile the perceived conflict between tax collection and private property rights\, thereby reshaping State views of taxation \nLink zoom:  https://shorturl.at/qQSW0

SUMMARY:Hugo Rajão // Could the need for housing challenge UBI's effectiveness as an exit option for workers?
DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Ethics\, Politics and Society (CEPS)\, University of Minho \nCEPS Seminar Meetings\, Wednesday\, February 28 at 11h (GMT) – hybrid format \nHugo Rajão (CEPS)\, “Could the need for housing challenge UBI’s effectiveness as an exit option for workers?” \nAbstract: It is widely claimed that Unconditional Basic Income (UBI) has the potential to enhance economic freedom and fairness in labor relations\, contributing to the de-commodification of labor\, by reducing workers’ exit costs associated with leaving their jobs. These exit costs are influenced by the quality of alternative options available to individuals. \nA significant proportion of workers\, particularly the most vulnerable\, depend solely on their work wages to fulfil their material needs\, leaving them with no viable alternative but to accept prevailing working conditions. In essence\, they are compelled to sell their labor power under conditions they might reject if presented with reasonable alternatives. Consider a scenario where everyone receives a UBI that covers at least a threshold for the most basic needs. The prerequisites for subsistence are often the primary reasons people are most willing to compromise on other aspects of their lives. With these needs assured by the UBI\, affected workers would genuinely have the option\, especially in extreme situations\, to escape from undesirable workplaces. Establishing a universally agreed-upon definition of the basic needs threshold is challenging. However\, certain basic needs\, such as the need for housing\, are less controversial indicators of poverty. Housing is widely accepted as a crucial factor\, and very few would consider someone without access to housing as non-poor. More importantly\, few would be willing to forgo employment if it meant losing their housing. So\, for UBI to serve as a viable exit option\, it must adequately cover the need for housing. Otherwise\, people would not be willing to give up their jobs and live solely on UBI. However\, proposed UBI amounts are often modest\, falling below the minimum wage for full-time employment (as seen in the case of Portugal).  Assuming people adjust their expenditures to their expected income\, the gap between UBI and wages may require a significant readjustment of expenditures to the budget\, potentially hindering the decision to leave a job. While this expenditure adjustment applies to all basic needs\, some are more adaptable to budget constraints than others. \nAs explored in this paper\, the need for housing poses a particular challenge. Housing costs\, including credit and rent\, exert more pressure on the budget compared to other basic needs (like food). Due to the gap between UBI and wages\, living solely on UBI would intensify this budgetary strain. Additionally\, housing involves other kinds of burdens that make readjustment between expenditures and income more difficult\, compared to other basic needs\, such as fixed prices\, contractual obligations\, limited consumption alternatives\, search and seek efforts\, logistics costs\, community ties\, identity considerations\, relational costs\, and hurdles associated with returning to a prior living situation. Therefore\, due to the imperative need for housing\, UBI alone may prove insufficient to meet individuals’ most basic needs\, thereby limiting its effectiveness as a genuine exit option for workers. \nThe session starts at 11h (GMT)\, and will take place in Sala Ceps (Edifício ELACH) – Campus de Gualtar\, Universidade do Minho.

What trade-offs do we need to consider?\nWhat can empirical evidence tell us about the long-term impacts of basic income? Do we know the impacts on labor markets\, institutional trust\, and social cohesion?\nWhat are the ex-post consequences of a UBI policy\, either in the short\, medium\, or long-term perspectives? How would it affect educational or health outcomes? What does it tell us about basic income as a superior policy\, considering other alternatives?\nWhat do we know about basic income’s possible impacts on the ecological transition?\nGiven its high costs\, how can we judge its short-term financial cost and its perceived long-term benefits?\n\nThe submission deadline is January 31\, 2024.

SUMMARY:Catarina Neves // Why should we be grateful for the welfare state?
DESCRIPTION:CEPS PhD Seminars  \n  \nWhy should we be grateful for the welfare state?\nby Catarina Neves (CEPS) \nBio: Catarina Neves is a doctoral researcher in Political Philosophy at the Center for Ethics\, Politics ans Society\, with the thesis “Justifying an Unconditional Basic Income: reciprocity\, productive justice and the impact of UBI in the labor market”. She is also invited assistant at the Nova School of Business and Economics in Lisbon\, where she teaches Ethics. \nShe is co-author of a book on basic income experiments: Basic Income Experiments. A Critical Examination of Their Goals\, Contexts\, and Methods (2022)\, published by Palgrave Macmillan. \nAbstract: This talk is based on a working idea gratitude and the welfare state. I aim to show that there is a political obligation of gratitude to the welfare state which determines support for the maintenance and enlargement of benefits. To do so\, I will first outline the concept of gratitude\, what it means\, what is it implied when we are grateful and connect it with similar concepts such as reciprocity. I will then argue why we should be concerned with gratitude\, exploring concerns from relational equality namely at an institutional-individual level (Voigt\, 2018\, p. 439; Schemmel\, 2012; Shiffrin\, 2017). Finally\, I will attempt to illustrate some institutional implications of this view\, namely the conditions where gratitude is warranted (or not)\, and what this obligation might require citizens to do. \nLink zoom:  https://shorturl.at/qQSW0

SUMMARY:Francesca Sofia Alexandratos // The Life of Power: Recognition\, Nature\, and Critique of Power
DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Ethics Politics and Society (CEPS)\, University of Minho \nCEPS Seminar Meetings\, Wednesday\, February 7 at 15h (GMT) – hybrid format \nFrancesca Sofia Alexandratos (CEPS)\, “The Life of Power: Recognition\, Nature\, and Critique of Power” \nAbstract: The talk will focus on the struggle of contemporary recognition theory in addressing power relations and will contend that early American pragmatism’s concepts of life can inform a critical approach to power relations. \nThe first part of the talk will be dedicated to the analysis of the contemporary paradigm of recognition. I will contend that recognition theory approaches human self-realization by mainly considering subjects’ social-practical existence and defines recognition as a relationship of affirmation that is constitutive to develop a good experience of oneself as an individual with social worth. I will consider that this paradigm is essential to critically approach manifest contexts of social domination but is insufficient to detect contexts of domination reproduced through ambiguous relationships of recognition. \nThe second part of the talk will identify the reason for this theoretical limit in the lack of a consistent consideration of human beings’ natural-practical existence\, as natural beings in a constitutive interaction with the external environment\, and the role of recognition thereof. Finally\, I will argue that early American pragmatism provides a naturalistic but non-reductionist metaphysical framework wherein the process of human living interaction with the external world is investigated in-depth\, and that a strong interpretation of recognition’s normative meaning for the critique of ambiguous power relations is at hand. \nThe session starts at 15 (GMT)\, and will take place in Sala Ceps (Edifício ELACH) – Campus de Gualtar\, Universidade do Minho.

SUMMARY:Elena Icardi // Structural Economic Domination: Workplace Democracy or Democracy Tout Court?
DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Ethics Politics and Society (CEPS)\, University of Minho \nCEPS Seminar Meetings\, Friday\, January 26th at 11h (GMT) – hybrid format \nElena Icardi (CEPS) \n“Structural Economic Domination: Workplace Democracy or Democracy Tout Court?” \nWe welcome Elena Icardi to discuss her paper “Structural Economic Domination: Workplace Democracy or Democracy Tout Court?” \nThe session starts at 11h (GMT)\, and will take place in Sala Ceps (Edifício ELACH) – Campus de Gualtar\, Universidade do Minho. You’re also welcomed to join us online\, through the following Zoom link: tinyurl.com/CEPSSEMINARS2324 \nAbstract: Despite the existence of employment contracts\, in contemporary capitalist societies workers are often at the mercy of their employers because of the significant power asymmetry between them. This poses a serious challenge for neo-republicanism\, the strand of contemporary political philosophy that advocates freedom as non-domination. To meet this challenge\, some scholars have proposed workplace democracy. Namely\, the idea that in order to get rid of employer-employee domination in the workplace\, workers should have a say in workplace decision-making. Although workplace democracy may seem appealing\, I argue that it is redundant in the face of structural economic domination. In a capitalist system\, all individuals who cannot challenge the rules of the labor market\, whether they are employees or unemployed\, are dominated by those who control these rules. Thus\, to overcome structural economic domination\, everyone\, not just those within the workplace\, should have the ability to challenge the economic structure\, including labor market regulations and workplace organization. Rather than advocating for workplace democracy\, I hence propose a political capillary democracy to address these issues at various levels (national or local) and in different spaces (cities assemblies\, trade unions\, etc.). The rationale is that every citizen should have a say on these issues in order to ensure that no one is at the mercy of anyone else’s economic power

SUMMARY:[PDRHP] Daniel Kapust & Tae-Yeoun Keum
DESCRIPTION:POPULISM\, DEMAGOGUERY AND RHETORIC IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE\n(PDRHP)\nSEMINAR SERIES\n\nPDRHP is a research project dedicated to the study of populism\, demagoguery\, and rhetoric in historical perspective. The project is funded by the Foundation of Science and Technology (Portugal) and based at the Centre for Ethics\, Politics and Society of UMinho under the coordination of Giuseppe Ballacci.\nPDRHP hosts a regular seminar series\, in an online or hybrid format. The first session of the seminar will be held on: \nDecember 5th\, Tuesday\, 4 PM (Lisbon time)\n(11 AM New York\, 1 PM Brasilia\,  4 PM London\, 5 PM Paris. For other locations click here) \nThe session will feature two speakers: \nDaniel Kapust (UW-Madison) \n“Demagoguery\, Populism\, and Political Culture in Cooper’s The American Democrat” \nThis paper explores James Fennimore Cooper’s account of demagoguery and its relationship to flattery in The American Democrat. Putting Cooper into conversation with earlier works on the relationship between democracy and flattery\, including Edward Wortley Montagu’s Reflections on the Rise and Fall of the Ancient Republicks and Plutarch’s How to Tell A Flatterer from a Friend\, it argues that Cooper’s account of the demagogue both draws from a long tradition of linking demagoguery to democracy\, and deploys the trope of the flatterer to develop an account of the true friend of democracy—and thus the opponent of the dangerous demagogue. \n  \nTae-Yeoun Keum (UC Santa Barbara) \n“Between Epistemology and Politics: Voltaire’s Democratic Socrates”\n \nThe paper offers a novel reading of Voltaire’s Socrate (1759) that situates it in the context of the philosophical movements that contributed to the construction of “the Enlightenment Plato.” It sees Voltaire’s play as an act of canon formation in the modern reception of Plato and Socrates. On this account\, the play can be understood as the extension of a broader effort to navigate an interpretive crossroads that emerged in the Enlightenment\, as eighteenth-century readers of Plato sought to negotiate between two dominant traditions in Platonic reception: Neoplatonism and Academic Skepticism. What was essentially an epistemological compromise between these two ancient traditions\, however\, gains a political aspect in Voltaire’s play. The resulting portrait is one that aligns Socrates with a recognisably modern vision of democracy\, conceived in contradistinction to the pathologies that were a commonplace in traditional critiques of democracy.\n \n\nHOW TO PARTICIPATE?\nThose interested in attending the seminar are invited to follow the event on this Zoom link. \nThe seminars are open to everyone. \nFor inquiries\, contact gballacci@elach.uminho.pt or thomas.zicmandebarros@sciencespo.fr

SUMMARY:Jorge Pinto // A Liberdade dos Futuros: Ecorrepublicanismo para o século XXI
DESCRIPTION:CEPS SEMINAR SERIES IN ETHICS AND POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY \nJorge Pinto: A Liberdade dos Futuros – Ecorrepublicanismo para o século XXI \nSALVAR A DEMOCRACIA EM TEMPOS DE CRISE ECOLÓGICA GLOBAL\nOutrora sinónimo exclusivo de emancipação\, a ideia de liberdade tem sido corrompida por uma visão que a concebe apenas como não‑frustração e não‑limitação — uma concepção egoísta que deve ser contestada.\nEste livro recupera\, à luz dos desafios do século XXI\, a ideia republicana de liberdade enquanto não‑dominação. E propõe uma política eco‑republicana que promova o florescimento humano através da construção de uma república não dominadora e ecologicamente sustentável. \n«Jorge Pinto percorre em linguagem didáctica\, com grande capacidade de síntese\, um leque enorme de propostas e soluções para o presente e o futuro da liberdade.» — Rui Tavares (Prefácio)
