What’s Beyond the Social Value of Privacy
In 'Beyond the Social Value of Privacy' 1 Elisabeth Ventham states that privacy helps us not only to maintain social relationships, but is also important as it contributes to 'self-understanding and self-expressions on one's own terms'.This is innovative, but it also can be said that the author is picking up on a longstanding tradition in privacy debates.After the discussion of this duality I'll make a few critical comments about the author's dis…
ChatGPT as imperfect rhetorical tool in public policy
The introduction of Large Language Models that generate texts, such asGPT-4 and Bard, has met a lot of enthusiasm. A typical media post by the end of 2022, when ChatGPT was introduced read like: “I asked Chat GPT to write me a text about ... It did an amazing job, (certain) way better than I would have done”. It is of course interesting to notice that apparently people take themselves as frames of reference, but the really striking thing is that …
Open Government
This study seeks to fill in open government research gaps by structuring and shedding light on the field of empirical open government research by means of a systematic literature review. In doing so, 64 empirical open government studies published in peer-reviewed journals in the period from 2000 to 2020 are analyzed based on their key topic, study type, research design, method of analysis, data collection and research perspective. Our findings re…
An Integrated Model of Digital Open Government
The concept of open government is not historically linked to digitisation, but is increasingly used in this context. The ambiguity of the term thus represents a conceptual vagueness. The existing systematisation approaches of Digital Open Government mostly focus on specific partial aspects, such as Open Government Data, so that a uniform understanding has not been conceptually elaborated. This article derives an integrated framework based on the …
Aspects of Christian Social Thought
When the new pope, Francis, took office on 13 March 2013, enthusiasm was great, expectations were high and comments critical of his connections with the Argentinian junta under Jorge Videla receive
E Pluribus Unum ? Critical Comments on John Rawls' Concept of Overlapping Consensus
Taking as a starting point an example from Dutch politics, I make some critical statements on John Rawls' distinction between comprehensive doctrines and the political conception of justice as developed in his Political Liberalism. After an explanation of the concept ‘overlapping consensus’, I show that Rawls' description of political liberalism as a set of principles independent of comprehensive doctrines is ambivalent. Rawls emphasises the dual…
Virtue Ethics, Applied Ethics and Rationality twenty-three years after After Virtue
In evaluating the merits and shortcomings of virtue ethics I focus on some central differences between virtue ethics and rival theories such as deontology and utilitarianism. Virtue ethics does not prescribe strict rules of conduct. Instead, the virtue ethical approach can be understood as an invitation to search for standards, as opposed to strict rules, that ought to guide the conduct of our individual lives. This requires a particular method. …
