The Nature of Exploration
Virtues, Vices and the Responsibilities of Business
This paper examines the development of Catholic social thought and teaching on the responsibilities of business. It begins with a natural law and Thomistic framework and shows how the general principles are applied to practical situations, firstly in the work of the late scholastics and, secondly, through the social encyclical tradition. Changes in emphasis are noted in the post-war period. The paper also explores how the challenges of corruption…

The animal question
As globalization accelerated after 1492, often in the service of European imperial expansion, human destruction of the habitat in which animals could express their natural behaviors also increased. Within this context, the question arises: just how much are we like other animals, and if they are like us, how much do we owe them? From the 1500s to the 1800s, travelers, imperialists, the colonized, and intellectuals tried to answer this question an…

O RBI e o pensamento utópico
As propostas políticas do Rendimento Básico Incondicional são frequentemente apresentadas como um projeto utópico que visa construir uma nova realidade política, económica e social. Neste contexto, visa-se formular uma visão crítica dessas propostas assente em dois pilares fundamentais: em primeiro lugar, o ceticismo de natureza teórica, histórica e antropológica relativamente a projetos assentes no pensamento utópico; em segundo lugar, objeções …

Images of Animals in the Early Modern Spanish Empire
By exploring popular illustrations, courtly paintings, bureaucratic documents like the relaciones geográficas, and the works of intellectuals like Oliva Sabuco and José de Acosta, we can still see and hear a representation of animal agency that affected women and men from the late fifteenth through to the early nineteenth centuries. In the 1970s, John Berger reminded us that ‘seeing comes before words’, but then ‘we explain that world with words’…

Hayek's Slippery Slope, the Stability of the Mixed Economy and the Dynamics of Rent Seeking
F. A. Hayek's The Road to Serfdom continues to provoke intense scholarly debate focused on the validity of Hayek's central claim that a mixed economy is inherently unstable and economic intervention will inexorably lead to totalitarianism if pursued for a sustained period. This article presents empirical evidence which shows conclusively that it is the mixed economy that has proved remarkably stable, whereas laissez-faire and totalitarian regimes…

The Future of Portuguese Public Administration and a New Agenda for Public Administration Sciences in the 21st Century
This paper addresses the changing role of the Portuguese state, the present priority assigned to the process of reform and the new challenges to be overcome by public administration. Such processes are demanding a new agenda for education and research in public administration sciences, shifting from the public law paradigm to an interdisciplinary problem‐solving approach and giving special attention to 10 key areas of study, which we describe in …

Imagining Identity in New Spain
Like many previous works, this book reminds us that the Spanish imperial hierarchy distinguished rank in a multilayered fashion, primarily on the basis of calidad and policía rather than the more ethnically and racially oriented limpieza de sangre. Indeed, given the nature of the hierarchy, Carrera questions whether colonial notions of raza as lineage can be compared to nineteenth-century notions of race derived from social Darwinism. She uses co…
The alpha factor and the conquest of Mexico
“Alpha behavior” affected human politics and social organization during the sixteenth-century conquest of Mexico by Spanish imperialists. The behavior of Spanish conquistadores is compared to that of other primates in the well-known studies of Jane Goodall and Frans de Waal. Parallels between Spanish and Aztec behavior are also noted so as to identify the shared patterns of behavior that cross human cultures and may be called primate universals. …
