Fittingness explores the nature, roles, and applications of the notion of fittingness in contemporary normative and metanormative philosophy. The fittingness relation is the relation in which a response stands to a feature of the world when that feature merits, or is worthy of, that response. In the late nineteenth to mid-twentieth century, this notion of fittingness played a prominent role in the theories of the period's most influential ethical theorists, and in recent years it has regained prominence, promising to enrich the theoretical resources of contemporary theorists working in the philosophy of normativity.

Fishing Power Europe The EU's Normativity in Its External Fisheries Action

 
Fishing Power Europe The EU's Normativity in Its External Fisheries Action
Free Download Fishing Power Europe: The EU's Normativity in Its External Fisheries Action (Global Europe: Legal and Policy Issues of the EU's External Action, 3) by Mihail Vatsov
2023 | ISBN: 9462655820 | English | 261 pages | PDF | 6 MB
This book examines how the EU and international law frameworks impact the EU's ability to act normatively in its external action in the area of fisheries. The EU, a major fishing power, portrays itself as a normative actor and a champion of sustainable fishing. The volume reconceptualises the Normative Power Europe narrative by identifying three interrelated elements - universality, use of instruments, and legitimacy - as the key criteria against which to evaluate the normativity of the EU's conduct. The universality element examines the level of international acceptance of the stated aims of EU action; the use of instruments element examines the EU's participation limitations in relevant international institutions and the means (persuasion as opposed to coercion) through which it acts; and the legitimacy element examines the substance of the EU's action in terms of legality, protection of common or self-interests, and coherence and consistency.

Tamar Schapiro, "Normativity and Agency: Themes from the Philosophy of Christine M. Korsgaard"
English | ISBN: 0198843720 | 2022 | 304 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Christine M. Korsgaard has had a profound influence on moral philosophy over the past forty years. Through her writing and teaching she has developed a distinctive, rigorous, and historically informed way of thinking about ethics, agency, and the normative dimension of human life more generally. The twelve original essays in this volume are written in her honor on the occasion of her retirement from teaching. They engage questions that recur in her work: Why are we obligated to do what morality demands? What features of our nature make us subject to moral obligation? What does it mean to be autonomous and responsible for what we do? What do we owe to nonhuman animals? Contributors include Stephen Darwall, Kyla Ebels-Duggan, Barbara Herman, Richard Moran, Japa Pallikkathayil, Faviola Rivera-Castro, T.M. Scanlon, Tamar Schapiro, Sharon Street, David Sussman, Sigrún Svavarsdóttir, and David Velleman. These essays shed light on Korsgaard's own views while staking out provocative new

Normativity and Control

 
Normativity and Control
David Owens, "Normativity and Control"
English | ISBN: 0198713231 | 2017 | 224 pages | PDF | 1534 KB
Do we control what we believe? Are we responsible for what we believe? These two questions are connected: the kind of responsibility we have for our beliefs depends on the form of control that we have over them. For a number of years David Owens has investigated what form of control we must have over something in order to be held to the norms governing that thing, and has argued that belief, intention and action each require a different type of control. The forms of freedom appropriate to each of them vary, and so do the presuppositions of responsibility associated with each of them. Issues in the moral psychology of belief cast light on some of the traditional problems of epistemology and in particular on the problems of scepticism and testimony.
