For some time now, Aristotle’s ethics – to be exact: the Nicomachean Ethics – have influenced or inspired a considerable array of theoretical options in contemporary moral philosophy. As a result, Aristotle’s ethical works have assumed a dignified systematic place next to such modern strains as the consequentialist, utilitarian or deontological ones. The precise relation of Aristotle’s ethics to these modern theories remains ambiguous, however : depending upon the particular systematic intere...

12This book argues that there is a strong normative argument for using the criminal law as a primary response to corporate crime. In practice, however, corporate crimes are rarely dealt with through criminal sanctioning mechanisms. Rather, the preference – for both prosecutors and corporates – appears to be on negotiating out of the criminal process. Reflecting this emphasis on negotiation, this book examines the use of Civil Recovery Orders and Deferred Prosecution Agreements as responses to corp…Read more

44Expediency, Legitimacy, and the Rule of Law: A Systems Perspective on Civil/Criminal Procedural HybridsCriminal Law and Philosophy 11 (4): 733-757. 2017.In recent years an increasing quantity of UK legislation has introduced blended or ‘hybridised’ procedures that blur the previously clear demarcation between civil and criminal legal processes, typically on the grounds of normatively-motivated political expediency. This paper provides a critical perspective on instances of procedural hybridisation in order to illustrate that, first, the reliance upon civil law measures to remedy criminal law infractions can raise human rights issues and, second,…Read more

640False endoxa and fallacious argumentationLogical Analysis and the History of Philosophy 15. 2013.Aristotle determines eristic argument as argument which either operates upon the basis of acceptable premisses (endoxa) and merely give the impression of being deductive, or argument which truly is deductive but operates upon the basis of premisses which seem to be acceptable, but are not (or, again, argument which uses both of these mechanisms). I attempt to understand what Aristotle has in mind when he says that someone is deceived into accepting premisses which seem to be acceptable but which…Read more
