In this episode, we explore the role of imagination in social movements and the ongoing fight for justice. We investigate both how the imagination helps us think of how the world might be better and identify the problems of the moment. Our guest scholar in this episode is Dr. Michele Moody-Adams, Joseph Straus Professor of Political Philosophy and Legal Theory at Columbia University. --- Michele Moody-Adams is Joseph Straus Professor of Political Philosophy and Legal Theory at Columbia University, where she served as Dean of Columbia College and Vice President for Undergraduate Education from 2009-2011. Before Columbia, she taught at Cornell University, where she was Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education and Director of the Program on Ethics and Public Life. She has also taught at Wellesley College, the University of Rochester, and Indiana University, where she served as Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education.  She has published on equality and social justice, moral psychology and the virtues, moral objectivity and moral relativism, and the philosophical implications of gender and race.  She is the author of Making Space for Justice: Social Movements, Collective Imagination and Political Hope, published in 2022.  She is also the author of a widely cited book on moral relativism, Fieldwork in Familiar Places: Morality, Culture and Philosophy, and a co-author on the multi-author work Against Happiness (May 2023).  Her current work also includes articles on academic freedom, equal educational opportunity, democratic disagreement, and what constitutes an epistemically and morally defensible understanding of history. A special focus of her work on democracy is the connection between democracy and the civic art and architecture of remembrance. ---While her full catalog of articles and books is far too long to list here, the publications below provide a useful introduction to her scholarship addressing the topic of imagination and justice: Moody-Adams, M. (2022). Making Space for Justice: Social Movements, Collective Imagination, and Political Hope. Columbia University Press. Moody-Adams, M. (2015). The enigma of forgiveness. The Journal of Value Inquiry, 49, 161-180. Moody-Adams, M. M. (2018). Democratic conflict and the political morality of compromise. Nomos, 59, 186-219. Moody-Adams, M. M.

The purpose of medicine is to heal and maintain the health of the patient. Abortion does neither one of those two things for either the woman or the child. Since the dawn of western medicine abortion was rejected as quackery. What changed?  When a patient entrusts herself to a physician, it is only medical ethics that insulate her best interests from being subordinated to a political agenda or the pocketbook of an abortionist. Every life is valuable and deserving of protection, and fostering a culture that respects and supports life can lead to a more compassionate and just society.

João Costa é coordenador do Mecanismo Nacional de Prevenção contra a tortura e maus-tratos.

A conversa levou-nos também à investigação do convidado, que é particularmente original, uma vez que junta conclusões da filosofia política -- como a Teoria de Justiça de John Rawls -- a evidência que vem das ciências sociais, sobretudo da área da psicologia, com o propósito de desenhar uma técnica de resolução de conflitos armados em zonas de conflito, em que os habitantes das comunidades locais são levados a compreender a posição do outro lado de forma a alterar o seu comportamento e gerar um acordo benéfico para todos. Embora a investigação nesta área estude sobretudo zonas de conflito, há paralelos óbvios entre esses conflitos acesos e a necessidade de aumentar o capital social e melhorar as instituições políticas das nossas sociedades.  A terminar a conversa, tivemos ainda tempo de voltar ao tema quente da justiça económica, em particular a tensão entre, por um lado, a necessidade de evitar uma desigualdade económica extrema e de promover a igualdade possível de oportunidades e, por outro, assegurar que o rendimento gerado legitimamente não é expropriado levianamente e que a sociedade é capaz de continuar a gerar prosperidade e crescimento económico.   Temas abordados durante a conversa: Origem do pensamento político do convidado Movimeto MUD juvenil David Hume - A Treatise of Human Nature: “It has been observed, that nothing is ever present to the mind but its perceptions; and that all the actions of seeing, hearing, judging, loving, hating, and thinking, fall under this denomination.” Problema de portugal: desigualdade de oportunidades vs desenvolvimento Como aproximar o cidadão médio das elites Como construir uma sociedade justa e estável, com poder político legítimo Jeffrey Sachs: Why Rich Cities Rebel Histórica Recente Evolução da desigualdade económica em Portugal Casamento homossexual Argumentos contra o voto das mulheres Abraham Maslow, Émile Durkheim A emoção enquanto alavanca de progresso moral Ligação à investigação do convidado Induzir emoções para obter resultados socialmente benéficos.

I didn't know much about Icelandic Sagas before I heard about Aoife's project, I just knew that they were long and complicated and involved feuds and fate. But Aoife, a philosophy student at Queen's University Belfast, knew a lot more and wanted to try to make sense of all the heavyweight moral decisions and decisive actions that go on in them. Her project is partly an investigation of a moral framework, and partly a research project into historical and anthropological reconstruction, but along the way she tries out a number of philosophical different approaches to understanding character traits. Here are some things that Aoife's suggested for you to read: * The saga that Aoife is talking about is called Hrafnkel Saga Freygoda. There's a wikipedia article about it here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hrafnkels_saga) which has links to several translations, and Aoife was working from Gwyn Jones' edition. * Óskar Halldórsson (1989) “The Origin and Themes of Hrafnkels Saga”, Sagas of the Icelanders, edited by John Tucker, Garland Publishing: New York. * Tomasson, Richard F. (1980) Iceland : The First New Society, University of Minnesota Press. * Kristán Kristánsson (1998), "Liberating Moral Traditions: Saga Morality and Aristotle’s “Megalopsychia”", Ethical Theory and Moral Practice, Vol.1, No.4, pp397-422. (Appears on the publisher's page here (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1023/A:1009990801822), paywalled but consider using twitter and the hashtag #icanhazpdf). * Vilhjálmur Árnason (1991), "Morality and Social Structure in the Icelandic Sagas", The Journal of English and Germanic Philosophy, Vol. 90, No.2.

Ethics in marketing? Yes. Marketing needs ethics, too. After all, many people say “marketing” like it's a four-letter word. Senior Staff Instructor at LinkedIn Learning, Morten Rand-Hendriksen joins us this week on WPblab to talk about ethics in marketing. With a passion for learning new things (including ballroom dancing with his wife), philosophy, and accessibility, Morten is well-known as an advocate for all things forward-facing in tech but realizes the ethics implications. Join us this week for the live chat to ask Morten your questions.Twitter: @mor10Site: http://mor10.com/LinkedIn Learning & Lynda.comStudied Philosophy at UniversityEthics 101 (definition) … there are two terms you hear all the time – ethics & morals – two different aspects of the same thing (two sides of the same coin)Morals – internalized understanding of what is right and wrongEthics – a human definition of systems that you use to define what is right and wrongIf you look at Ethical Theory, you are looking at Moral Traditions – confusingly!There is often a disconnect in understanding the terminology between the two“Cryptomining is a good example of why the web design industry needs ethics”Ethics (as defined by Moren) – the rules that we create to allow us to judge individual actions and see if they are justifiable in a moral context“Why don’t people in the WordPress community copy each others themes and release them in a different name” – there’s nothing that explicitly prevents it, but there are ethics that keep them from doing soKant’s Categorical Imperative (wikipedia) – act as if you want your act to be a universal law – this is how people should always behaveWe need ethics in marketing – as you release this thing into the world, how do you want it to be handledThere’s a common misunderstanding that ethics provides you a list of dos and don’ts – it doesn’t – that is dogmatic moralism. Rather, ethics give you the tools to at least attempt to think through the decisions you make, before you turn those decisions to action (and see what the consequences might be)Example: There is code that you can currently install on your site that runs crypto mining processes on the computers of everyone who visits your site – generates money and sends it back to the owner of the siteSalon is using adblocking readers' CPU power to mine cryptocurrencySalon to ad blockers:Can we use your browser to mine cryptocurrency?Salon has every right to hijack your laptop to mine cryptocurrency while you read it – businessinsider.comThe JavaScript Supply Chain Paradox:SRI, CSP and Trust in Third Party LibrariesDonate Your TabConsequentialism – what are the consequences of your actions and do those consequences improve the common good? It is okay if some people are disadvantaged as long as the large majority are advantaged.In the case of the Crypto code – everyone is disadvantaged but the website owner, so Consequentialism would say – don’t do this!Duty ethics – you have to perform acts in a way that you would want every other person to behave in that same situation, not because you have to, but because you actually believe that’s how it should be doneYou have a duty of care to everyone who interacts with your website – unless you explicitly state that you are doing this, you are failing your visitorsVirtue Ethics – what kind of person do you become by performing the act. This is the oldest of these theories.  The idea is that a human can only become virtuous by aspiring to a set of virtues.Is this the type of person that I want to be?  That I would want everyone else to be?Capability Approach – the morality of an act has to be judged on what capabilities it grants the person it is acted upon. Does it improve their capabilities?Start thinking about how what we are doing effects the ends user. What kind of future am I building for the people who are using this site?A tiny toolkit to help you answer your own questions!What kind of world am I building for the end user?Who do I become by doing this?Do I want every other person to do this in the same circumstance?Am I increasing the overall utility for everyone? (everyone might be end user)What is the value of getting an influencer to say something about your product?You think they have more authority (there is value / money in that)It’s because people innately believe what they say – even if not true – and respond to that influenceIf you “ghost write” a review and make it seem as if it’s written entirely from the influencer, then the whole trust equation falls apart – your duty of care (ethically) would require you to disclose that information to your audienceThe “Milli Vanilli” effect100% GPL – if you aren’t 100% compliant, you can’t sponsor a WordCamp – how do ethics apply hereSomeone has to make a decision about who is affected and who is not, it can become a very subjective decision. In WordPress, that person is often Matt Mullenweg – we are granting him license to do this by following alongThe WordPress community largely rises and falls based on whether people are willing to buy into the importance and need of GPLEthics is complicated – every single person who is in the conversation will have a different viewpoint – if it’s a good ethical conversation, you touch on all the pain points enough that people are satisfied and everything has been accounted forIf we start over – what capabilities should we grant the end user and how do those capabilities help them improve their lives. One of the big values is that WordPress is free and (relatively) safe to use … you can formulate some overall idea.  We are granting the capability to publish to the internet anyone who has access to any internet connectionThere is a constant battle between wanting to be the type of person who creates things for the WordPress community to freely use (open source) and also needing to be able to provide an income for yourself and your family – what is our ethical responsibility to ourselves and the end user?Bridget: If you’re going to build a product and you decide to start with those 4 ‘toolkit’ questions as part of your branding standards, then you would already be about 70% of the way thereWe are building a world for our end users – what kind of world do we want to build for them? What are the consequences of our choices? Ethics should not be a wet blanket on our creativity, it should be a hearth that keeps all that creativity from ‘burning down the house’What did we do wrong here? How did we end up in the place? What can we do to keep it from happening again?Tools of the Week—Bridget: HemmingwayApp.comJason: still using SetApp – but wishes it had Magnet (allows you to move items around on the screen to the edges and makes the windows snap)Morten: Pocket – save articles to read later – strips out all the ads and just gives you the text – it can also read it back to you!  Even works with the Kobo e-Reader!!Suggested reading for everyone: Virtual Reality As Possibility SpaceLet us know who helped us out with the show notes (we’ll link to you)Cheryl LaPrade @yaycherylSherie LaPrade @heysherieJames Tryon @jamestryon (but not enough for a true bi-line)The post WPblab EP94 – Exploring the Ethics of Marketing with Morten Rand-Hendriksen appeared first on WPwatercooler.
