19Professors on the Board: Do They Contribute to Society Outside the Classroom?Journal of Business Ethics 141 (2): 393-409. 2017.According to our data, 38.5 % of S&P 1500 firms have at least one professor on their boards. Given the lack of research examining the roles and effects of academic faculty as members of boards of directors on corporate outcomes, this study investigates whether firms with professor–directors are more likely to exhibit higher corporate social responsibility performance ratings. Results indicate that firms with professor–directors do exhibit higher CSR performance ratings than those without. Howeve…Read more

21Economic and Social Upgrading in Global Value Chains and Industrial Clusters: Why Governance MattersJournal of Business Ethics 133 (1): 25-38. 2016.The burgeoning literature on global value chains has recast our understanding of how industrial clusters are shaped by their ties to the international economy, but within this context, the role played by corporate social responsibility continues to evolve. New research in the past decade allows us to better understand how CSR is linked to industrial clusters and GVCs. With geographic production and trade patterns in many industries becoming concentrated in the global South, lead firms in GVCs ha…Read more

Overdetermination in Determination: An Althusserian Marxist Critique of the Postmodern/Poststructuralist Anti-TotalizationDissertation, University of Massachusetts Amherst. 1997.The objective of this study is to provide the basis of demarcation between radically alternative philosophies, between different theories of society, and between competing politics, by rearticulating what-Althusser calls the Marxist Philosophy that Marx practices in his critique of capitalism. I argue and demonstrate how the Marxist theory of the condition of discourse about history illuminates the epistemological nature and political implications of various discourses, making coherent and effec…Read more

2Bentham on the Moral and Legal Status of AnimalsDissertation, The University of Chicago. 2003.Bentham is celebrated by modern animal liberation philosophers for his brief but impassioned defense of animals in the Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation. Yet the details of Bentham's position are seldom discussed today. It is quite a complex position, comprising half a dozen arguments scattered across several texts. While Bentham claims that we have some moral obligations to animals, he also defends many traditional practices---including eating animals, making them work fo…Read more

Aquinas and Siger in the Thirteenth Century-Monopsychism ControversyDissertation, University of Toronto (Canada). 2000.My thesis examines Aquinas's philosophical psychology in the context of his controversy with Siger of Brabant. Chapters 1 and 2 are concerned with the central thesis of Aquinas's argument against the Averroist doctrine of the intellect, which he often expresses by the claim, intellectus est forma corporis. This claim is fundamental to Aquinas's philosophical psychology insofar as it relates not only to his solution to the tension between the Aristotelian definition of the soul as the form of the…Read more

Events, Functional Reductionism, and Mental Causation: An Examination of Kim's TheoryDissertation, The University of Nebraska - Lincoln. 2000.The functionalist conception of reductive physicalism that Kim has recently espoused, though it is the best theory of mental causation currently available, nevertheless is faced with a problem and unable to respond to some objections. I suggest that the root of Kim's difficulties is his somewhat controversial account of events, the so-called property instantiation account of events Kim develops in a series of recent papers. My diagnosis is that the problem Kim's view faces is dependent upon how …Read more

1The Autonomy of Xin and Ethical Theory in XunziDissertation, University of Hawai'i. 2001.This study aims to show that Xunzi's philosophy can best be understood by exploring his notion of xin as the faculty of self-governance and its relation to Xunzi's ethical theory. Through this examination, we find that the consistent theme throughout Xunzi's philosophy is to criticize the "naturalistic" trend of his time and to establish the proper role of human agency. The distinctive features in Xunzi's philosophy---the distinction between tian and humans, the doctrine that human xing is bad, …Read more

89Political Diversity Will Improve Social Psychological ScienceBehavioral and Brain Sciences 38 1-54. 2015.Psychologists have demonstrated the value of diversity – particularly diversity of viewpoints – for enhancing creativity, discovery, and problem solving. But one key type of viewpoint diversity is lacking in academic psychology in general and social psychology in particular: political diversity. This article reviews the available evidence and finds support for four claims: Academic psychology once had considerable political diversity, but has lost nearly all of it in the last 50 years. This lack…Read more

10Government policy toward open source software: The puzzles of neutrality and competitionKnowledge, Technology & Policy 18 (4): 113-141. 2006.For a variety of policy reasons, governments throughout the world are now adopting different legislative and administrative strategies that support the development of FLOSS.

20Une société civile mondiale est-elle possible ? Le cosmopolitisme et l'avenir de la démocratieSynthesis Philosophica 24 (1): 49-63. 2009.Mon étude s’inspire de la thèse suivante : que la philosophie construit son objet seulement à partir d’une certaine perspective normative. La question philosophique du cosmopolitisme – comment établir par le biais de la morale universelle l’association des « citoyens du monde » libres et égaux – ne fonde qu’un horizon normatif d’attentes qui attire le regard sur une réalité irrationnelle. La réalité irrationnelle se caractérise par la notion de « société mondiale du risque », introduite par Ulri…Read more

43Hannah Arendt and the Limits of Political Freedom. Does politics have meaning at all?Synthesis Philosophica 21 (2): 327-338. 2006.The author sets forth from the claim that the name of Hannah Arendt is tied to the radical and original revival of the question of political freedom, which he substantiates with her famed statement that ”The purpose of politics is freedom.” The source of freedom and the political are identical or one. One the one hand, human freedom in this world is attainable only politically, while on the other, freedom is the sole reason for the subsistence and justification of politics. The author highlights…Read more

22Is a Global Civil Society Possible? Cosmopolitanism and the Future of DemocracySynthesis Philosophica 24 (1): 49-63. 2009.This study is inspired by thesis that philosophy constructs its subject all through a certain normative perspective. Philosophical setting of cosmopolitanism question, how to establish society of free and equal “citizens of the world” by means of universalistic morals, gives only the normative horizon of expectations which turns our look down on the irrational reality. Irrational reality can be defined by the notion of “society of worldly risk” used by Ulrich Beck for identifying the time affect…Read more

49Hannah Arendt und die Grenze der politischen Freiheit. Hat Politik überhaupt noch einen Sinn?Synthesis Philosophica 21 (2): 327-338. 2006.Der Name Hannah Arendt bezeichnet eine ebenso radikale wie originale Erneuerung der Frage nach der „politischen Freiheit”. Um es gleich zu sagen: Freiheit ist mit dem Politischen identisch und gleichursprünglich. „Der Sinn von Politik ist Freiheit.” Das heißt, die genuin menschliche Freiheit in dieser Welt ist nur politisch vollziehbar, während die Freiheit der einzige Existenz- und Rechtfertigungsgrund der Politik ist. Hannah Arendts Überlegungen über das Kriterium politischer Freiheit konzentr…Read more

20Ist die weltbürgerliche Gesellschaft möglich? Grundlegung einer politischen Ethik des KosmopolitismusSynthesis Philosophica 24 (1): 49-63. 2009.Die vorliegende Studie lässt sich von der These inspirieren, dass die Philosophie ihren Gegenstand durch eine bestimmte normative Perspektive erst erzeugt. Die philosophische Fragestellung des Kosmopolitismus, wie sich eine Assoziation freier und gleicher „Weltbürger” mit Mitteln der universalistischen Moral herstellen lässt, entwirft erst den normativen Erwartungshorizont, der den Blick auf die vernunftlose Wirklichkeit lenkt. Die vernunftlose Wirklichkeit lässt sich durch den Terminus der „Wel…Read more

44Je li moguće svjetsko građansko društvo? Kozmopolitizam i budućnost demokracijeSynthesis Philosophica 24 (1): 49-63. 2009.Moja studija nadahnuta je tezom da filozofija svoj predmet izgrađuje tek kroz određenu normativnu perspektivu. Filozofsko postavljanje pitanja kozmopolitizma, kako sredstvima univerzalističkog morala uspostaviti udruženje slobodnih i jednakih »građana svijeta«, zasniva tek normativan horizont očekivanja koji svrće pogled na bezumnu stvarnost. Bezumna stvarnost dade se okarakterizirati pojmom »društva svjetskoga rizika«, koji Ulrich Beck uvodi kao dijagnozu vremena koje su zadesile sve moguće kat…Read more
