La raison pratique dans la pratique économique
L’objectif de cet article est de faire fructifier une certaine conception de la raison pratique pour la pratique économique (Nida-Rümelin 2023). Cette conception repose sur l’hypothèse selon laquelle la rationalité d’une décision ou d’une manière d’agir se mesure au vu des raisons qui la guident. Il s’agit donc, si l’on rendait cette idée en anglais, d’un « reason’s account of practical rationality ». Le théorème central de la théorie moderne de …
Lügen – Eine Begriffliche und Ethische Klärung
Given widespread confusions regarding the concept and the ethics of lying, the paper presents three criteria of lying, that together are necessary and sufficient: (1) untrue, (2) untruthful, (3) deceiving. On this conceptual basis it is made clear that lying is not per se an ethical offense, although truthfulness is essential for successfull communication

Demokratie in die Köpfe: Warum sich unsere Zukunft in den Schulen entscheidet
Um auf Fehlentwicklungen der Bildungspolitik hinzuweisen und Alternativen aufzuzeigen, sind zwei Perspektiven miteinander verwoben, die auch aus philosophischer und pädagogischer Sicht seit jeher Kristallisationspunkte des Denkens und Handelns sind: das Individuum und die Gemeinschaft. Blicken wir auf unsere Biographien und die unserer Kinder, insbesondere als Schüler, so müssen wir leider feststellen, dass in Schulen mehr der Geist von PISA weht…
A Theory of Practical Reason
In this monograph, Julian Nida-Rümelin presents an objectivist theory of practical reason as an alternative to the widespread rationalism in ethics
Introduction to Digital Humanism
Perspektiven nach dem Ukrainekrieg: Europa auf dem Weg zu einer neuen Friedensordnung?
Der Krieg in der Ukraine hat alle Hoffnung zerstört, dass Europa keine bewaffneten Konflikte mehr erlebt. Wieder, wie nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg und nach dem Fall des Eisernen Vorhangs, muss eine neue Friedensordnung gefunden werden. Dazu muss über die aktuelle militärische Lage im Ukrainekrieg hinaus gedacht werden. Die Autoren dieses Buches eint die Sorge um eine Verkürzung der aktuellen Debatten auf die militärische Logik und gleichzeitig eine…
Empowered and embedded: Ethics and agile processes
This article focuses on the structural aspects of the development of ethical software, and argues that ethical considerations need to be embedded into the (agile) software development process. In fact, it is claimed that agile processes of software development lend themselves specifically well for this endeavor. First, it is contended that ethical evaluations need to go beyond the use of software products and include an evaluation of the software…
Theory of Practical Reason
Politische Freiheit
Political Liberty is presently under stress for different reasons, two of them are: the erosion of civic culture and the policies chosen to restrict Covid-19. In this article I develop an account of political liberty that is bound to core concepts of humanistic anthropology and metaphysical freedom (I). On this conceptual basis I discuss two actual challenges of political liberty: cancel culture (II) and anti-pandemic state measures (III)
Ethics in the Software Development Process: From Codes of Conduct to Ethical Deliberation
Software systems play an ever more important role in our lives and software engineers and their companies find themselves in a position where they are held responsible for ethical issues that may arise. In this paper, we try to disentangle ethical considerations that can be performed at the level of the software engineer from those that belong in the wider domain of business ethics. The handling of ethical problems that fall into the responsibili…
Eine Theorie praktischer Vernunft
This book is the first full presentation of Julian Nida-Rümelin's theory of practical rationality and of practical philosophy in general. It sets itself apart from both rational choice approaches and the constructivism of post-modern and Kantian thought. The nucleus of the analysis is the embeddability of one-off decisions in the larger context of a praxis and of an individual and cultural way of life
The Reasons Account of Free Will: A Libertarian-Compatibilist Hybrid
Free Will is constituted by a desire to act that is based on practical reasons. Being guided by reasons constitutes (free) human agency. The reasons account, which I will develop in this paper, is libertarian, as it implies that human agency is naturalistically underdetermined. Naturalistic descriptions, referring exclusively to natural causes, are not able to fully describe and explain human agency. On the other hand, there are no scientific arg…
Globalization, migration, and the role of the state
We should think of the interactions of human society, both within national borders and beyond them, across the entirety of human history, as resembling a collection of different densities of a myriad of particles in a body of moving liquid. Liberal philosophers are confronted with a continuum of small differences, starting in the local region of cultural and religious communities and building up to the normative constituents of civilian statehood…

Plädoyer für eine normative Anthropologie
Anthropologie und Ethik
The relationship between anthropology as the study of human beings and ethics as the study of what humans ought to do is close and multifaceted. The authors address the following questions: Are moral norms grounded in human nature or are they independent of it? Does ethics take into account human weaknesses or is morality absolute? If people change, do the requirements of morality change as well?

Über menschliche Freiheit
Risikoethik
Rationally coping with situations with uncertain consequences is a matter of universal concern in modern societies. Here a critique of current paradigms of dealing with risk is the starting point for developing an ethics of risk that also takes into account individual rights and justice. The basis for this work is provided by a clear terminological analysis, as well as insights derived from modern decision theory. In addition, the application of …

The scientists, politicians, theologians, journalists, and writers assembled here give their personal responses to the question in fifty incisive contributions representing different cultural traditions. What is to be expected? Clearly not a conclusive answer to the question but rather a dazzling spectrum of contemporary positions reg…

Wir-Intentionen und die Logik kollektiver Entscheidungen
During the last two decades social choice theory has become an established branch of the social sciences. But in spite of its contributions on a high level of precision by logical and mathematical means the theory is still vague regarding the interpretation of its basic concepts. In this article I try to cope with that problem by distinguishing three different areas of application of social choice theory. The concept of ‘we-intention’ in the sens…
Zur Philosophie der Demokratie: Arrow-Theorem, Liberalität und strukturelle Normen
The paradoxes and dilemmas of social choice theory can be taken as an argument against a certain view of democracy: For the identity theory democracy represents a collective actor standing for aggregated individual interests. According to a second model of society, democracy has its normative basis in structural traits of interaction and cooperation. Within the formal theory of politics both the Arrow-Theorem and the Liberal Paradox undermine the…
Collective ldentities and Citizenship
In the following I try to show that there is an attractive notion of citizenship which is independent of any kind of collective identity. Citizenship is understood as one form of social interaction. It is argued that in order to understand social interaction adequately, it is necessary to introduce a structural theory of practical rationality, to the extent this conception of citizenship is based on the theory of structural rationality
Die Vielfalt guter Gründe und die Theorie praktischer Rationalität
Kritik des Konsequentialismus: Studienausgabe
Bei Moore 1 und den nachfolgenden Ethikern Englands gilt es als ziemlich klar, daß die "richtige Handlung" diejenige Handlung ist, welche die bestmöglichen Konsequenzen nach sich zieht (wobei auch Werte an sich, die von einigen "Objektivisten" 2 bestimmten Arten von Handlungen zugeschrieben werden, zu den Konsequenzen zählen).Hieraus folgt nun, daß ein Mensch, subjektiv gesprochen

Bürgergesellschaft als ethisches Projekt
Ich möchte mich auf ein kürzeres Statement beschränken, weil das eigentliche Interesse an dieser Veranstaltung sicherlich auf die Theorie und die empirischen Befunde von Robert Putnam und auf die soziologische Position von Claus Offe gerichtet ist.
Why Rational Deontological Action Optimizes Subjective Value
There is no Moral Luck
Most present day philosophers assume that chance or luck is morally relevant. That it makes a moral difference whether an action of mine has, by chance, good or bad consequences. I will defend the opposing view: There is no moral luck, luck is morally irrelevant. The examples which are taken to show that there is moral luck rest on conceptual confusions. The confusion between reasonable bad sentiments and moral responsibility (sec II), the confus…
