Harmonization of Product Classifications
Firm-product data provide information for various research questions in international trade, industrial or innovation economics. However, working with these data requires harmonizing product classifications consistently over time to avoid internal validity issues. Harmonization is required because classification systems like the EU classifications combined nomenclature (CN) for goods or the Prodcom for the production of manufactured goods undergo…
Liberal Political Philosophy of Religious Difference after Saba Mahmood
This contribution responds to Saba Mahmood’s critique of secularism and uses it for theory development in liberal political philosophy. Building on the work of Rahel Jaeggi I reconstruct selected parts of Mahmood’s works as an immanent critique of secularism as a form of life. I argue that liberal egalitarian political philosophical approaches to religious difference should broaden the focus of social critique. Beyond – but not instead of – forma…
But There Is No Conceptual Level Playing Field! Challenges to Nelson Tebbe’s Social Cohesion Approach to Religious Diversity
Nelson Tebbe’s Religious Freedom in an Egalitarian Age addresses an important political ethical issue: namely, the question how conflicts between religious freedom and equality should be resolved, as a matter of law. Such conflicts include, for instance, the refusal of religious business owners to provide services to same-sex couples, public officials objecting to same-sex marriages for religious reasons, and matters of state (de)funding of relig…
Blasphemy As Violence
This article suggests an understanding of blasphemy as violence that enables us to identify various kinds of injury that can be inflicted by blasphemous acts and artefacts. Understanding blasphemy as violence can take three forms: physical violence, indirect intersubjective violence, and psychological violence. The conditions that allow for an understanding of blasphemy as physical violence depend on very specific religious assumptions. This is d…
Exclusion by Inclusion? On Difficulties with Regard to an Effective Ethical Assessment of Patenting in the Field of Agricultural Bio-Technology
In order to take ethical considerations of patenting biological material into account, the so-called “ordre public or morality clause” was implemented as Article 6 in the EC directive on the legal protection of biotechnological inventions, 98/44/EC. At first glance, this seems to provide a significant advantage to the European patent system with respect to ethics. The thesis of this paper argues that the ordre public or morality clause does not p…
