The democratic firm L'entreprise démocratiqueRevue de Philosophie Économique 9 (1): 3-9. 2008.The idea of workplace democracy is not on the political agenda. And yet, democratic firms exist in various forms in today's economy. The idea and the practice is not only economically and philosophically challenging. The worries to which it responds are not bew either. This is well illustrated by John Stuart Mill's conjecture of the end of the wage-earner system, dating back to more than one century ago.

8A Justiça Intergeracional e a Metáfora do Refúgio de MontanhaPhilosophica: International Journal for the History of Philosophy 19 (38): 121-141. 2011.In this paper, we explore the extent to which mountain huts and rules imposed on their users can provide metaphoric inspiration to the exploration of issues of an intergenerational justice. We indicate features made salient by the metaphor. We focus in particular on the content of an intergenerational golden rule and on cleronomic justice. We also explain why the absence of a warden matters. Other absent features make salient other dimensions that are central to intergenerational justice. Specia…Read more

3A-t-on des obligations envers les morts?Revue Philosophique De Louvain 101 (1): 80-104. 2003.The A. discusses conditions for the idea of obligations towards the dead, while simultaneously holding the view that dead people have ceased to exist in a morally relevant sense. He examines and rejects three «lateral» strategies (Callahan, Wellman, Partridge) that rest on a notion of obligations concerning, rather than towards the dead. He then goes on to scrutinize Feinberg's «frontal» strategy, that consists in defending the possibility of (pre)posthumous harms, and, as a result, of obligatio…Read more

101Theories of intergenerational justice: a synopsisSurv. Perspect. Integr. Environ. Soc 1 39-49. 2008.In this paper, the author offers a synoptic view of different theories of intergenerational justice, along two dimensions (savings/dissavings) and three modalities (prohibition, authorisation, obligation). After presenting successively the indirect reciprocity, the mutual advantage, the utilitarian and the Lockean approaches, special attention is given to the egalitarian theory of intergenerational justice. Two key differences between the egalitarian view on intergenerational justice and the suf…Read more

85Are generational savings unjust?Politics, Philosophy and Economics 6 (2): 193-217. 2007.In this article, we explore the implications of a Rawlsian theory for intergenerational issues. First, we confront Rawls's way of locating his `just savings' principle in his Theory of Justice with an alternative way of doing so. We argue that both sides of his intergenerational principle, as they apply to the accumulation phase and the steady-state stage, can be dealt with on the bases, respectively, of the principle of equal liberty and of the difference principle. We then proceed by focusing …Read more
