Perspectives on the Holocaust
When and Why Is Research without Consent Permissible
The view that research with competent adults requires valid consent to be ethical perhaps finds its clearest expression in the Nuremberg Code, whose famous first principle asserts that “the voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.” In a similar vein, the United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights states that “no one shall be subjected without his free consent to medical or scientific experimentation…
Coercion
There are two philosophical questions about coercion: (i) what counts as coercion? (ii) when are individuals or the state justified in using coercion? This article focuses on (i). What counts as coercion is important to understanding when people are responsible for their acts, when promises are binding, and when transactions are voluntary. One view maintains that coercion is essentially empirical, that A coerces B when A puts B under great psychi…
(Why) should we require consent to participation in research
It is widely accepted that informed consent is a requirement of ethical biomedical research. It is less clear why this is so. As an argumentative strategy the article asks whether it would be legitimate for the state to require people to participate in research. This article argues that the consent requirement cannot be defended by appeal to any simple principle, such as not treating people merely as a means, bodily integrity, and autonomy. As an…

Consent to Sexual Relations
When does a woman give valid consent to sexual relations? When does her consent render it morally or legally permissible for a man to have sexual relations with her? Why is sexual consent generally regarded as an issue about female consent? And what is the moral significance of consent? These are some of the questions discussed in this important book, which will appeal to a wide readership in philosophy, law, and the social sciences. Alan Werthei…
Liberty, Coercion, and the Limits of the State
The prelims comprise: Liberty and Coercion Liberty-Limiting Principles The Harm Principle The Offense Principle Legal Paternalism Legal Moralism Justice Need Conclusion Bibliography
Internal Disagreements
Amy Gutmann and Dennis Thompson’s Democracy and Disagreement is a major contribution to liberal egalitarian democratic theory. Unlike many works in democratic theory, the book does not speak to institutions or voting schemes. It goes to the moral spirit of interpersonal relations among citizens and their representatives. The core idea of the book is allegedly “simple”: “When citizens or their representatives disagree morally, they should continue…

Is Ordinary Language Analysis Conservative
LOR WHATEVER REASON, philosophers have been reluctant to respond to a set of criticisms of ordinary language analysis that is particularly damaging to its viability as an approach to political philosophy. The claim that ordinary language analysis is conservative has been treated with the worst kind of disdain-it has simply been ignored.' Perhaps these criticisms do not deserve to be taken seriously, but the prudent course would be to adopt that p…

Social Theory & the Assessment of Social Freedom
The language of freedom is scrutinised in the analytic mode by Professor Wertheimer. He explores the relationship between (essentially empirical) assessments of social freedom and (normative) social theory. An entirely value-free concept of social freedom cannot be had, he argues. The determination of what acts constitute deprivations of freedom involves normative considerations. Disputes over the extent of freedom present in a particular case ar…
