29On Democratic Theory: Essays in Retrieval by C. B. MacphersonCanadian Journal of Philosophy 6 (2). 1976.Professor Macpherson is perhaps the most important living heir of John Stuart Mill and more especially of that in Mill which in the latter part of his life led him to become a socialist. Macpherson's polemics against liberalism's inheritance from possessive individualism make him the opponent of some of Mill's substantive positions and of even more of his formulations. But if we represent Macpherson as trying to rescue from Mill that which derives from his “concept of the power of a man as his a…Read more

It is the outlet taken by religion, the arts, and philosophy from the earliest time in human culture. In phil…Read more

226A mistake about causality in social scienceRussian Sociological Review 12 (1): 139-157. 2013.The article considers the problem of actions–beliefs link. As author shows, the widespread approach in social science, those origins can be traced back to Hume and Mill and which tries to reveal the causal relations between beliefs and actions, is mistaken. It is mistaken because it proposes that, firstly, beliefs and actions are distinct and separately identifiable social phenomena and, secondly, causal connection consists in constant conjunction. MacIntyre, instead, proposes, taking as a start…Read more
