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)

SUMMARY:Marta Nunes da Costa // Democratic Despotisms
DESCRIPTION:CEPS SEMINARS SERIES IN ETHICS AND POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY \nMarta Nunes da Costa (Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul)\nWorkshop on Democratic Despotisms (The new book by Marta Nunes da Costa) \nABSTRACT:\nIs it possible to speak of democratic despotisms\, to attribute the adjective “democratic”\, in the plural\, to despotism? Can there be several types of despotism\, simultaneously\, in a democratic horizon? This book is born form the intuition that the answer to this question is positive; however\, like any work that requires the activity of thinking\, the initial hypothesis had to be tested.\nThrough a dialogue with Alexis de Tocqueville\, Carl Schmitt\, Hannah Arendt and Michel Foucault\, this book reconstructs some of their political concepts in order to create a broad theoretical horizon in which we will move. Having set its conceptual horizon\, it then progressively builds a diagnosis of our present condition. Despite the difficulties and aporias brought about by liberal democracy\, it is necessary to become aware that it has anti-democratic\, anti-liberal and even totalitarian seeds within. Human beings oscillate between the search for security and certainty\, brought about by the establishment and maintenance of order\, and\, on the other hand\, the desire for a freedom that allows them to believe\, to be and to live with others.

SUMMARY:Nicola Piras // Social Ontology and Health Eating Policies
DESCRIPTION:CEPS SEMINAR SERIES IN ETHICS AND POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY \nNicola Piras\, “Social Ontology and Health Eating Policies” \nAbstract:\nThe increasing awareness in Western societies of how diets and foods can influence human health has brought the topic of healthy eating policies to the center of public debate. The purpose of this talk is to expand the toolbox of policy makers working on those policies by introducing two additional devices\, borrowed from social ontology. The first is what I call ontological targeting. It aims to determine the entity that should be targeted by a healthy eating policy\, e.g.\, a diet\, a macronutrient\, or a particular food. The second is a social pressure analysis\, which can assist policymakers in evaluating how social groups can influence individual eating behaviors. Lastly\, I will discuss how these tools can work together in a complementary manner to enhance the effectiveness of a healthy eating policy aimed at reducing meat consumption.

SUMMARY:Shlomi Segall // To be (Disadvantaged) Or Not to Be? An Egalitarian Guide for Creating New People
DESCRIPTION:CEPS SEMINAR SERIES IN ETHICS AND POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY \nShlomi Segall (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem)\nAbstract:\nThe late Derek Parfit held that in evaluating the future\, we should ignore the difference between necessary persons and merely possible persons. This paper looks at one of the most prominent alternative to Parfit’s view\, namely Michael Otsuka and Larry Temkin ‘Shortfall Complaints’ view. On that view we aggregate future persons’ wellbeing and deduct intra-personal shortfall complaints\, giving extra weight to the complaints of necessary persons. This paper offers a third view. It rejects Parfit’s No Difference View in that it registers a difference between necessary and possible persons. But it also rejects the Shortfall View and replaces its intra-personal complaint mechanism with inter-personal complaints. It argues that the value of a population is its aggregate prioritarian value minus the egalitarian complaints that necessary persons hold. I offer three objections to the Shortfall view: it is vulnerable to Downward Spiral\, Extinction\, and Avoiding Improvable Lives. The egalitarian view\, in contrast\, has all the explanatory power of the Shortfall view\, while succumbing to none of the objections that felled it.

SUMMARY:Angel Rivero // The future of centre-right parties in Europe: the challenge of Populism
DESCRIPTION:CEPS SEMINAR SERIES IN ETHICS AND POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY \nAngel Rivero (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) \nAbstract:\n“Probably nothing has done so much harm to the liberal cause as the wooden insistence of some liberals on certain rules of thumb\, above all the principle of laissez-faire capitalism” Friedrich Hayek\, The Road to Serfdom\, London: Routledge\, 2001\, p. 18.\nThe end of the first decade of the 20th century was marked by the crisis of the social democratic parties in Europe. At that time\, the economic crisis unleashed in 2008 did not mean an increase in support for these parties\, because in many parts of Europe the workers\, their traditional voters\, found refuge in centre right parties\, because they were seen as superior in managing the economy; or in populist parties that sought to combat unemployment by blaming cosmopolitanism. The former promised to fix the economy\, the latter promised to restore the safe world of post-war Europe by stopping deindustrialization; by closing borders; by implementing economic protectionism; by deploying anti-immigration policies; and by leaving the European Union.\nHowever\, while much attention has been paid to the crisis of social democracy and the rise of populism in Europe\, much less has been studied about the slow-motion crisis of the European centre-right parties. Apart from the books by Tim Bale and Cristóbal Rovira Kaltwasser (eds.)\, Riding the Populist Wave. Europe’s Mainstream Right in Crisis (Cambridge\, Cambridge U.P.\, 2021); and Ángel Rivero and Edurne Uriarte (coords.)\, The future of the centre-right in Europe (Madrid\, Tecnos\, 2022) little or nothing has been said about the circumstance of the crisis that these parties are going through in many European societies.\nIn this seminar I would like to explain how the parties of the centre right have been fundamental in the construction of European democracy in the second post-war period. In the case of Western European parties\, the centre right designed the architecture of their democracies by guaranteeing peace\, freedom\, well-being and prosperity for long decades. Though often forgotten\, the European model of freedom and welfare was the work of centre right parties in Germany\, Italy\, and France. In Great Britain\, the exception\, it was created by Labour in 1945\, with the great electoral victory of Clement Attlee\, but immediately afterwards it was managed by the British Conservative party\, which endorsed the welfare state and ruled most of the remainder of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century. Contrary to common opinion the post-war consensus in Europa was the work of the centre right and encapsulated the modern liberal\, Christian democratic and One Nation conservatism ideal of an integrated and free society.\nIn the case of the southwestern European democracies\, Portugal and Spain\, the centre right parties were also crucial in the construction of their democracies and in the development of their mechanisms of social integration. In Portugal\, without the political action of the PDS and the CDS\, the triumph of a revolution with totalitarian overtones would have been somewhat feasible and\, without a doubt\, it was during the governments of the Portuguese centre right when the 1976 Constitution was reformed in a democratic sense\, eliminating the military tutelage over the executive and the legislature\, and later restoring economic freedom.\nIn Spain\, the process of transition to democracy was led by the centre right\, the UCD\, and its political heritage ended up being integrated into the Popular Party in 1990 under the leadership of José María Aznar. Since then\, the PP has alternately been in the government or led the opposition.\nIn this seminar I will show that the golden age of the European centre right parties were the years between 1945 and 1975\, years in which the model that combined liberal democracy and the social market economy created a free and integrated society.\nHowever\, with the oil crisis of the 1970s\, the model entered in crisis because its economic foundations broke. As I will show\, just as in 1945 it had been the parties of the centre right that had led the political organization of Europe providing security\, freedom and well-being\, again in the crisis of the 1970s\, it is the parties of the centre right that led the response to the crisis of the welfare state.\nThis response was the so-called “new right” of Margaret Thatcher who sought to end not only the economic dysfunction of the welfare state but also the social ills associated with it. In the centre right tradition\, the state had a subsidiary function in the organization of society. This meant that a healthy society is one that is capable of self-organization but that\, given the complexity of modern societies\, the State must intervene in a subsidiary way in everything that society cannot do on its own.\nIn other words\, State intervention is good if it serves the purpose of creating a society of independent and responsible individuals; but it is bad if that threshold is exceeded and the society that is created is made dependent on the State. It is this state-dependent\, passive\, and irresponsible society that Margaret Thatcher called socialism.\nThe centre-right parties\, in general\, tried to combine their social market economy model with the imperative to restore social responsibility. In more individualistic societies\, such as the British\, the success of this model was attested to in the fact that it ended up dragging the Labour Party into a “Third Way” which in practice meant the total abandonment of socialism and reconciliation with liberalism. In Germany and Spain similar movements took place within the centre-right parties but also by the social democrats.\nIn general\, this political vision has been derogatorily called “neo-liberalism” although no one among those who defended it identifies with this label. And although nobody likes the label\, it can be used to name a new political and social consensus that lasted the last decade of the 20th century and the first decade of the 21st century. That is to say\, the time that goes from the collapse of socialism 1989-1991 to the financial crisis of 2008\, twenty years of liberal hegemony in the political and economic spheres.\nWell then\, the root of the still present crisis of social democracy is found in the fact that the parties of this obedience are too tied to the globalizing ideal of neoliberalism; but the root of the crisis of the centre right parties is also linked to this same circumstance.\nIf the social democratic parties saw that their voters sought protection in nationalist\, sovereigntist parties that blamed globalization and capitalism for their ills\, the centre right parties have been losing voters as their political space has fragmented and been divided among a multitude of parties located on the right. Of course\, this circumstance is different in each of the Western European countries\, but in the seminar\, I will show that there is a common pattern that allows us to speak of a crisis of the centre right.\nMy purpose will be to detect the reasons for this crisis and venture the way in which the centre right parties could\, as Bale and Rovira say\, ride the populist wave.

SUMMARY:Stefano Calboli // ChatGPT\, OpenAI's new AI software\, and its impact on education
DESCRIPTION:CEPS SEMINAR SERIES IN ETHICS AND POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY \nStefano Calboli (CEPS)\, “ChatGPT\, OpenAI’s new AI software\, and its impact on education” \nJoin us on Zoom next Thursday\, February 16th at 12h00\, Lisbon time\, to participate in a seminar about the uses and limitations of ChatGPT\, OpenAI’s new AI software\, and its impact on education. Stefano Calboli will give a presentation on the topic.\nAbstract:\nIn this brief presentation I discuss the impact of two products by Open-Ai\, chat-GPT and GPT-3 on students’ comprehension\, their evaluation by professional educators\, and how the latter operates.\nI begin by giving some basic information on chat-GPT and GPT-3 and outlining what lies behind their ability to respond properly (often\, not always) to prompts. I move on to critically overview the scientific literature and opinions expressed by authoritative scientific magazines and newspapers. I conclude by advancing some take-home messages hinging on the belief that AI-based tools are here to stay and we all – students and professional educators included – have to learn to live with it.

SUMMARY:13th Summer School​ in Political Philosophy ​and Public Policy
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1657019492801{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1657123400411{margin-bottom: 50px !important;}”] \nJustice in Inheritance\nJuly 6-8\, 2022\nUniversity of Minho\, Braga – Portugal\n​\n\n​The question of how to justify\, address and regulate inheritance is of crucial importance for egalitarians. If contemporary market societies have a tendency to concentrate wealth and capital\, the taxation of inheritance and of inter vivos gifts may be one important way to mitigate this dynamic. Whether inheritance should be taxed is an issue that has\, however\, been fairly neglected by theorists\, particularly in the realm of political philosophy. There is also evidence that it arouses a greater deal of opposition than other purportedly egalitarian proposals\, namely a wealth tax; opposition not only from the most advantaged but also by those who could gain the most from it.\nA concern with the fair value of equality of opportunity may be a consideration in favour of an inheritance tax of some kind. John Rawls defines fair equality of opportunity as equal access to elite positions within institutions (e.g.\, education\, but also political offices\, jobs\, amongst others) for persons who are similarly endowed and motivated. Unequal wealth inheritance concedes some a comparative advantage in the pursuit of further education and in obtaining cultural resources – in the form of travel\, for example – that afford one a greater chance to succeed. Concerns with the impacts of segregation and transmission of social capital might also favour inheritance taxation\, if we establish the role inheritance has in transmitting both financial and non-financial capital.\nBut arguments against inheritance taxation need to be taken seriously\, and raise important concerns for a theory of distributive justice\, but also claims of economic efficiency. Liberals might argue in defence of inheritance as an important and strong incentive to accumulate wealth. Such an incentive might be essential for further investments and the promotion of economic growth through private ventures. It may also be that inheritance helps keep the middle-class from shrinking\, especially during periods of slow wage growth for younger adults.\nInheritance\, and its taxation\, lies in the intersection of universal claims (such as the fair value of equality of opportunities) and claims of partiality. In this respect\, concerns with how taxing inheritance might jeopardise family values might justify having unrestricted inheritance flows\, particularly within families.\nFinally\, it is important to consider how inheritance fits in the institutional framework of a theory of distributive justice. It is particularly important to understand how to include inheritance tax within existing tax systems\, while trying to accommodate the subtleties of the moral arguments one might claim when arguing in favour of taxing inheritance. Such considerations are of particular relevance for public policy and will also be considered in our discussion. \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Visite Event Website” shape=”square” color=”danger” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2F13thbragasummerschool.weebly.com%2F”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Rob Goodman // Words on Fire: Eloquence and Its Conditions
DESCRIPTION:CEPS SEMINAR SERIES IN ETHICS AND POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY \nWhy is political rhetoric broken – and how can it be fixed? Words on Fire returns to the origins of rhetoric to recover the central place of eloquence in political thought. Eloquence\, for the orators of classical antiquity\, emerged from rhetorical relationships that exposed both speaker and audience to risk. Through close readings of Cicero – and his predecessors\, rivals\, and successors – political theorist and former speechwriter Rob Goodman tracks the development of this ideal\, in which speech is both spontaneous and stylized\, and in which the pursuit of eloquence mitigates political inequalities. He goes on to trace the fierce disputes over Ciceronian speech in the modern world through the work of such figures as Burke\, Macaulay\, Tocqueville\, and Schmitt\, explaining how rhetorical risk-sharing has broken down. Words on Fire offers a powerful critique of today’s political language – and shows how the struggle over the meaning of eloquence has shaped our world. \nThe Seminar Series in Ethics and Political Philosophy is a research oriented initiative hosted by the Centre for Ethics\, Politics\, and Society at the University of Minho\, whose aim is to discuss works in progress of both established and younger scholars working in the fields of ethics\, social and political philosophy\, political and social theory. \nThe seminars are open to everyone. \nFor inquiries\, contact the organizers at dsantoro@elach.uminho.pt or gballacci@elach.uminho.pt

SUMMARY:12th Summer School​ in Political Philosophy ​and Public Policy
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1657019492801{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1706489276806{margin-bottom: 50px !important;}”] \nThe Workings of Capital:\n​Perspectives on Exploitation in Law\, Labor\, and Distribution\nJuly 15-17\, 2021\nOnline |​University of Minho\, Braga – Portugal\n​\n\n​Where: The school will be held online. We will monitor existing conditions and regulations\, and if possible\, we will reorganize the event into a blended format\, featuring on campus lectures and online sessions. In case of a blended format\, the event will be hosted at the Auditorium of the Institute of Letters and Human Sciences (ILCH) at the ​University of Minho.  \nOrganization: This event is co-organized by the Centre for Ethics\, Politics and Society of the University of Minho\, and the Philosophy Department at the University of York \nConvenors: Catarina Neves\, Daniele Santoro\, and Pedro Teixeira\n\nLectures by:\nMartin O’Neill – University of York\, UK\nKatharina Pistor – Columbia University\, USA\nNicholas Vrousalis -Erasmus University Rotterdam\, The Netherlands\nBruno Lamas – UL-ISEG\n​ \nDescription\nSince Marx’s early theorization\, exploitation has been identified as a defining feature of the capitalist mode of production. Exploitation sheds light on the causes of the unfair distribution of resources\, opportunities\, and wealth\, the commodification of the labor market\, as well as the plundering of natural resources. It has also the normative significance of both a moral wrongdoing and a structural aspect of an unjust system that calls for change\, activism\, and revolution once again. As inequalities soar\, and the concentration of wealth lacerates the social fabric of traditional welfare state societies\, the exploitative nature of late stage capitalism has drawn the attention of a new generation of political philosophers\, both in the critical and in the analytical traditions.\nHow does capitalist exploitation take place through legal\, distribution and productive means?  How should we understand the conceptual and normative dimensions of exploitation\, and what policies should be pursued to create a less exploitative form of production? The goal of the 12th edition is to answer this question by exploring the role exploitation plays within new forms of capitalist production.\nThe critique of capitalism is a recurrent theme of the School. In past editions we discussed alternatives to the existing capitalist regime such as property-owning democracy (2014) and democratic socialism (2018). We also questioned the legitimacy of free market capitalism and the role of corporations (2019).\nOur aim in this edition is to elucidate the concept of exploitation\, investigate its distributive implications for public policy\, its impact on labor and the labor market\, and the legal framework enabling exploitative processes. \nAmong the questions we are particularly interested in debating are the following: \n\nWhat is exploitation? Is exploitation always unjust? How to distinguish exploitation from other forms of moral wrongdoing?\nWhat taxonomy of exploitation can we identify in capitalistic and socialist regimes?\nAre new forms of exploitation essentially distinct from traditional forms of exploitation?\nWhat forms of labor are most affected by current forms of exploitation? How can decommodification mitigate individuals’ exploitation in the labor market?\nHow can policies of predistribution and/or redistribution address issues of exploitation?\nCan egalitarian policies mitigate exploitation\, and if so\, which ones are the most effective?\nCan exploitation also happen in an egalitarian society\, and what can we do about it?\nWhat is the role of the law in perpetuating inequality and exploitation\, especially through financial markets?\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Visite Event Website” shape=”square” color=”danger” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2F12thsummerschoolcepsbraga.weebly.com%2F”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
