Rational function

to the state is morally unjustifiable? Philosophical anarchists make the argument that obedience to state commands is unjustifiable as it fundamentally clashes with the individuals’ obligation to be morally autonomous. And in order for a state to function, it needs to be able to issue moral obligations. As Robert Paul Wolff puts it ‘The state is a group of persons who have and exercise supreme authority within a given territory’ (Wolff, p. 5). Further, Wolff argues that the authority of a state…

According to Henry J. Sage the era allowed societies to change from prominently religious driven societies to societies that were born from rational ideas born from its own citizens. The Enlightenment can be seen as time when every problem was questioned and not left to fate or a higher being. This reflects the aspect of developing questions for everyday observations and problems that took place…

Problem set 2 1.) What, according to the theory developed by Glaucon in Republic II, is justice? Why and in what sense is it good to be just person, and bad to be an unjust person? According to the theory developed by Glaucon, justice is the case where people agreed to be good to each other, so that not to end up in a chaos. It is better to be just, for people will be in a better situation, rather than if they will choose injustice as a way to act. In Republic’s book two, Glaucon sets up a…

each class will form a new set of V⊆[0,1] which consist of the selected numbers (Saucer, 2016) The connections between those three are Both constructions of Banach-Tarski Paradox and Vitali sets depend on the axiom of choice in order for them to function well. Banach-Tarski Paradox and Vitali sets are non-measurable sets and they are two of the consequences of the axiom of choice We know that the set of real numbers R is uncountable although set is actually a collection of elements. Thus,…

history: morality versus practicality, and morality versus selfishness. Not only is a rational code of ethics profoundly efficacious and practical in guiding the life of whomever abides by it, but also the implicit conflation of altruism and morality could not be more removed from reality, and therefore harmful to man in general. When Roark praises selfishness and denounces altruism, he is affirming a rational moral code: Ayn Rand’s egoist ethics. Because man’s life must be his standard of…

Terrorism is normally defined as an intentionally violent act or threat of a violent act perpetrated by non-state actors for religious, political, economic, or social motives against noncombatants. The definition of terrorism, at it’s most basic form, always seems to include violence, tactics, and targets. Each department or organization has a different definition of terrorism. However, almost all definitions of terrorism exclude the state as actors in terrorism. Stohl believes that this is an…

charismatic and rational-legal. The authority of the team manager seems to be based on traditional forms of authoritarianism which is based on respect of age-old rules and customs, which involves loyalty to a personal master. This allows managers an unusually high degree of autonomy in defining their own role. However, as Weber pointed out, all forms of domination are ‘‘combinations, mixtures, adaptations, or modifications’’ of the charismatic, the traditional and the rational-legal…

the power of reason and efficiency has produced a situation where the means to achieve this reason are separated from the ends. Simplifying the statement above, you have to have a goal and you take rational steps, based on past experiences observations or logic, to attain a goal. Efforts for the rational management of society through scientific principles have generated an almost permanent, self-perpetuating government that operates on the basis of this formal rationality. Furthermore, Weber…
