  • Pity the unready and the unwilling

    Open AccessPhilip Cook, Philip S CookARTICLETheory and Research in Education2023

    For Martin, the right to free higher education may be claimed only by those ready and willing pursue autonomy supporting higher education. The unready and unwilling, among whom may be counted carers, disabled, and devout, are excluded. This is unjust. I argue that this injustice follows from a tension between three elements of Martin’s argument: (1) a universal right to autonomy supporting higher education; (2) qualifications on entitlements to a…

  • The Cambridge Companion to Liberalism

    Open AccessSteven A Wall, Richard Arneson et al.BOOKCambridge Companion to Liberalism2015

    The political philosophy of liberalism was first formulated during the Enlightenment in response to the growth of the modern nation-state and its authority and power over the individuals living within its boundaries. Liberalism is now the dominant ideology in the Western world, but it covers a broad swathe of different (and sometimes rival) ideas and traditions and its essential features can be hard to define. The Cambridge Companion to Liberalis…

  • The Transformative Power of Youth Grants

    Open AccessN Blanchet-Cohen, Natasha Blanchet‐cohen et al.ARTICLEChildren & Society2014

    This study, based on research into a youth empowerment initiative in C anada, examines the transformational power of youth grants for marginalised youth and their communities. The positive changes on individual youth included increased confidence and skills, as well as strengthened social interactions between youth, and involved adults and organisations. To leverage grant impact, we identify the critical role of creating accountability at multipl…

  • Against a minimum voting age

    Philip Cook, Philip S CookARTICLECritical Review of International…2013Cited by: 12References: 13

    A minimum voting age is defended as the most effective and least disrespectful means of ensuring all members of an electorate are sufficiently competent to vote. Whilst it may be reasonable to require competency from voters, a minimum voting age should be rejected because its view of competence is unreasonably controversial, it is incapable of defining a clear threshold of sufficiency and an alternative test is available which treats children mor…

  • Two Types of Self-Censorship

    Open AccessPhilip Cook, Philip S Cook et al.ARTICLEPolitical Studies2013Cited by: 21References: 5

    We develop and defend a distinction between two types of self-censorship: public and private. First, we suggest that public self-censorship refers to a range of individual reactions to a public censorship regime. Second, private self-censorship is the suppression by an agent of his or her own attitudes where a public censor is either absent or irrelevant. The distinction is derived from a descriptive approach to self-censorship that asks: who is …

  • An Augmented Buck-Passing Account of Reasons and Value

    Open AccessPhilip Cook, Philip S CookARTICLEUtilitas2008Cited by: 1References: 3

    Roger Crisp has inspired two important criticisms of Scanlon's buck-passing account of value. I defend buck-passing from the wrong kind of reasons criticism, and the reasons and the good objection. I support Rabinowicz and Rønnow-Rasmussen's dual role of reasons in refuting the wrong kind of reasons criticism, even where its authors claim it fails. Crisp's reasons and the good objection contends that the property of goodness is buck-passing in vi…

  • Understanding the Effects of Adolescent Participation in Health Programmes

    Philip Cook, Philip J CookARTICLEThe International Journal of…2008Cited by: 5References: 2

    Background' Adolescent participation has become one of the axioms of development policy and programming. This results from a growing realization that the effectiveness of programmes targeting young people is likely to increase when young people themselves are involved in designing and delivering activities intended for their benefit. The trend also reflects the near universal ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child with its g…

Results indicated the exis…
