Radical Realism and the Motivated Reasoning Connection
Advocates of radical realist theories of legitimacy propose that political legitimation narratives are often void where they show signs of motivated reasoning. In a recent critique of the method, example cases have been put forward in which an analysis and critique of flawed justification narratives seems urgently called for, and yet motivated reasoning is absent. This, critics suggest, should deflate the prominence of motivated reasoning within …
Realism and metanormativity
Political realists have argued that ‘the political’ is an autonomous domain with its own distinctive concepts, distinctive methodology, and distinctive ‘source of normativity’. I here explore the metanormative commitments of realism (of the radical realist branch, in particular) and question the viability of exploring the ontology of the normative altogether. I argue that the escape into the metanormative realm was something of a wrong turn withi…
How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Political Normativity
Do salient normative claims about politics require moral premises? Political moralists think they do, political realists think they do not. We defend the viability of realism in a two-pronged way. First, we show that a number of recent attacks on realism as well as realist responses to those attacks unduly conflate distinctly political normativity and non-moral political normativity. Second, we argue that Alex Worsnip and Jonathan Leader-Maynard’…
Whatever It Is We Owe to Animals, It's Not to Eat Them
In an article published in the Journal of the American Philosophical Association, Nick Zangwill (2021) argues that “eating meat is morally good” (p. 295). It is “our duty” to eat animals, he says, “when it is part of a practice that has benefited animals” (Zangwill, 2021, p. 295). Since certain animals can be said to exist in some sense only because of meat-eating practices, and those practices benefit animals if they have good lives, argues Zang…
On Being a Realist about Migration
Does political realism have anything to contribute to the debates about migration in normative political theory? Anything well-established ‘moralist’ theories do not already acknowledge, that is? Addressing Jaggar’s ( Aristotelian Soc Suppl Vol. XCIV, pp. 87–113, 2020) and Finlayson’s ( Aristotelian Soc Suppl Vol. XCIV, pp. 115–139, 2020) critical intercessions into contemporary discourse about migration I argue that a political realist approach …
Immediate Negation
At Kyoto, there is something peculiar going on with negations, or so it seems: A is A, and yet A is immediately not A, and therefore A is A. Without a doubt, this looks a lot like a paradoxical inference and yet we find it repeatedly in the writings of the Kyoto School philosophers. This inference, call it SH, has the form of the soku-hi dialectic, developed and put into practice by Nishida Kitarō. The soku-hi dialectic gets its name from the neg…
Stadt der Entfremdung
Bei einem Spaziergang durch London, durch die wohlhabendsten als auch die ärmeren Stadtviertel, sieht man die vielen leerstehenden Wohnungen – 125.000, um genau zu sein –, die von Investoren gekauft und zu einem Symbol für die kaputte Wohnungspolitik einer zunehmend ungerechten, fast schon hobbesianischen Gesellschaft geworden sind. Rowland Atkinsons Alpha City (2020) befasst sich eingehend mit der Frage, wie vermögende Privatpersonen als Inkarna…
