Metzler. pp. 171-183. 2023.Die zweite Hälfte der 1830er Jahre – Mill war gerade 30 Jahre alt geworden – waren geprägt von seinen Versuchen, als Redaktor der London and Westminster Review den politischen Kampf der progressiven Radikalen zu unterstützen. Wie in anderen Phasen seines Lebens war auch dieses intensive politische Engagement gefolgt von einem temporär desillusionierten Rückzug in die Theorie; Mill hielt es für angemessen, sich nun vorerst für klare Ideen statt für politische Reformen einzusetzen. „Die geistige E…Read more

19Philosophical thinking about pleasure today, especially in the context of normative ethics, is deeply influenced by the concept’s function within Bentham’s and Mill’s Utilitarianism, according to which the moral quality of any action depends on its tendency to “maximize pleasure” and “minimize pain”.

23Refurbishing Epistemology: A Meta-Epistemological FrameworkDe Gruyter. 2017.Epistemology is an important philosophical discipline, yet little research has directly addressed its aims and criteria of success. This study closes the gap by offering epistemological functionalism as a fully worked-out meta-epistemological framework that accommodates not only questions of traditional epistemology, but also more recent developments such as naturalism, social epistemology, pragmatism and feminism.

218A new role for emotions in epistemologyIn Georg Brun, Ulvi Dogluoglu & Dominique Kuenzle (eds.), Epistemology and Emotions, Ashgate Publishing Company. pp. 1--31. 2008.This chapter provides an overview of the issues involved in recent debates about the epistemological relevance of emotions. We first survey some key issues in epistemology and the theory of emotions that inform various assessments of emotions’ potential significance in epistemology. We then distinguish five epistemic functions that have been claimed for emotions: motivational force, salience and relevance, access to facts and beliefs, non-propositional contributions to knowledge and understandin…Read more
