  4. Why Did Rama Walk Barefoot During Exile?Sanjay Wahal - 2026 - Motilal Banarsidass Publishing House.
    What if one of the most powerful leadership lessons ever lived was not spoken—but walked? In this deeply reflective and practically insightful book, Dr. Sanjay Wahal unpacks Lord Rama's iconic exile as more than a myth—it becomes a mirror, a roadmap, and a leadership manifesto. Drawing from epic philosophy, behavioral science, and modern leadership thinking, Dr. Wahal reveals how humility, clarity, and sustainability can guide professionals in a distracted, high-speed world. Blending ancient symbolism with contemporary insight, he invites you to (...)

  1. Living With Each Other: Dorothy Emmet on Social Roles and Moral Facts.Peter West
    In 1966, Dorothy Emmet published Rules, Roles and Relations, in which she argues that moral philosophy could stand to learn a lot by drawing on sociological research. In this paper. I will argue that Rules, Roles and Relations is deserving of much wider scholarly attention, especially in light of an explosion of scholarship focusing on contemporaries of Emmet such as Philippa Foot, Mary Midgley, Elizabeth Anscombe, and Iris Murdoch (the ‘Wartime Quartet’). Emmet, unlike the Quartet, has received a very minimal (...)

    The Enquiry Interpretation of Hume’s Sensible Knave.Lorraine Besser
    Predominantly, previous interpretations of Hume’s discussion of the sensible knave embrace the following three claims: (1) that Hume raises the topic of the knave to respond to the ‘why be just?’ question; (2) that Hume’s discussion of the knave extends the theory of justice and moral psychology developed within the Treatise; and (3) that Hume’s reply to the knave is unsatisfactory. In this paper, I develop an interpretation of the knave passage that draws exclusively on the second Enquiry and shows (...)

    Kant on the Obstacles of Reflection: Affects, Passions and Maxims.Martina Favaretto
    In the Anthropology, Kant writes that both passions and affects impede reflection. However, he also holds that passions can be paired with reflection, while affects cannot. Stating that passions can both impede reflection and be paired with it seems to imply a contradiction. I seek to solve the problem by arguing that Kant is drawing on two notions of ‘reflection.’ The one kind of reflection consists in the ability to properly assess whether one should act from one’s affect or one’s (...)

    Adorno’s Critique of Fichte’s Idealism: An Appraisal.David James
    This article challenges Adorno’s characterization of Fichte’s idealism as an extreme form of identity thinking that entails complete human domination of nature. Its argument consists of two main stages. First, Fichte’s idealism will be shown to explain the possibility of the type of critical subject that Adorno presupposes in such a way that a certain primacy must be accorded to the subject in its relation to the object. Second, a distinction between two levels of inquiry and presentation – the transcendental (...)

    Deceptive Pleasure in Plato’s Republic.Derek van Zoonen
    In Republic book 9, Plato offers a puzzling argument suggesting that subjects can err even in their immediate self-ascriptions of pleasure. In this paper, I offer a detailed analysis and original interpretation of this argument, which I call the Deceptive Pleasure Argument. On the reading I defend here, Plato’s Socrates argues that pleasure is more than a feeling. The raw feel of the hedonic experience – the felt sense or feeling tone of our pleasure (that which enters awareness) – just (...)

  1. From concept to measurement: operationalizing and normalizing Integrity Risk Indicators by SCImago (IRIS).Daniel Gómez González, Félix De-Moya-Anegón, Gali Halevi, Vicente P. Guerrero-Bote & Rodrigo Sánchez-Jiménez
    The Integrity Risk Indicators by SCImago (IRIS) framework, developed by the SCImago Research Group, addresses growing concerns about trust in science by shifting research assessment from traditional output and citation-based measures toward the evaluation of institutional exposure to research integrity risks. Rather than focusing on individual misconduct, IRIS recognizes the central role of institutional incentive systems, governance structures, and operational cultures in shaping research integrity. IRIS provides a constructive, data-informed model for identifying structural vulnerabilities associated with practices such as authorship (...)

  1. Boundary-Conditioned Resonance and Corridor Readability in Double-Barrier Quantum Tunneling: A TCGS--SEQUENTION Interpretation.Henry Arellano-Peña - manuscript
    Double-barrier resonant tunneling is a standard quantum phenomenon in which a barrier--well--barrier structure can become transparent at selected energies despite strong off-resonant reflection. Taking the logically derived necessity of non-temporal four-dimensional Counterspace as its TCGS--SEQUENTION foundation, this paper develops a domain-specific cartography of tunneling through the stationary Schr\"{o}dinger, transfer-matrix, and resonance descriptions. The analysis distinguishes Counterspace, the ontic Extrinsic Constitutive Law, its formal cartographies, and admissible 4D-Counterduction. Its central separation is between a source corridor, an operational preparation--coupling--environment--measurement corridor, and a (...)

  3. Diversity, Pluralism, and Commonwealth.Terrence Moore - manuscript
    This chapter of the author’s manuscript of Noura: Justice, Flourishing, and Commonwealth argues that diversity is not a value to be preserved but a consequence to be understood, and that pluralism is a normative condition to be enabled. It distinguishes eight concepts—Otherness, Intolerance, Prejudice, Toleration, Diversity, Legitimate Diversity, Embracing Diversity, and Pluralism—and critiques liberal approaches to defending the protection of differences in “ways of life”— (Locke, Mill, Rawls, Nozick), and contrasts each with the Noura framework. Drawing on the Noura framework, (...)

  4. Psychological Consequences of the Possible Nonexistence of Time: From the Calendar Arrow to the Individual Arrow of Belonging.Carlos Federico Obregon Diaz - manuscript
    This article examines the psychological consequences that follow if time is not understood as a fundamental substance or as an independent container within which life occurs. Drawing on Time, Life, and Death: Belonging and the Arrow of Time, it argues that the possible nonexistence of independent time does not eliminate change, duration, aging, causality, or death; it changes their interpretation. Calendar time measures duration through standardized physical recurrences, but it does not constitute the transformations it measures. An individual life can (...)

  5. Predictive Directed Association: Information Refinement and Incremental Predictive Value.Kaining Wang - manuscript
    How much predictive value is gained when an information set is refined? Many predictive- dependence frameworks emphasize whether additional information provides statistically de- tectable predictive improvement, while the magnitude of the resulting predictive value can be treated as a primary mathematical object in its own right. This paper develops Predictive Directed Association (PDA) from this perspective. For nested information sets, PDA is defined as the expected squared distance between the corresponding Bayes-optimal predictors. We prove that this quantity exactly equals the (...)

  4. Decision substitution and the reorganisation of judgement in AI-mediated society.Ayodeji Olusegun Ibitoye, Olufunke Faderera Ajenifuja, Razia Sulthana Abdul Kareem, Deborah D. Adeyemo & Rantiola Fidelis Famutimi
    Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are increasingly embedded in institutional and everyday contexts, where they are publicly framed as decision-support tools yet often function as de facto decision-makers. This study argues that the shift from algorithmic support to decision substitution constitutes a significant societal problem insufficiently addressed by prevailing AI ethics and governance frameworks. Rather than focussing solely on technical performance, bias, or transparency, the analysis examines how AI-mediated practices reconfigure human agency, responsibility, and judgement. Drawing on philosophy of technology and (...)

  5. Turn down the volume! How AI music platforms carry out epistemic injustice and silence African traditions.James Maisiri & Awakhiwe Thabiso Ncube
    The music industry has increasingly been transformed by artificial intelligence (AI), assisting artists in composing music, mixing and mastering, lyric writing, and voice generation. Debates about how this technology will shape the music sector are rising, but a discussion often omitted in this conversation is how AI affects African Indigenous knowledge systems. Utilising Miranda Fricker’s theory of epistemic injustice, this paper argues that AI generative music platforms are often trained on Western datasets, lack culture neutrality but carry inherent epistemological values.

  6. From delegation to moral abdication: classifying large language model uses by judgment and epistemic control.Rainer Mühlhoff
    Ethical assessments of large language model (LLM) use are often organized around sectors, tasks, or abstract notions of societal risk. While valuable for governance and regulation, such classifications frequently fail to capture ethically salient differences between concrete practices of use. This paper develops a complementary, use-based taxonomy for analyzing LLM applications according to how judgment and epistemic authority are distributed between users and systems in concrete workflows and prompting practices. The taxonomy is structured along two dimensions: the degree of delegated (...)

  7. Beyond the machine: risk, fear, optimism and the foundations of public trust in AI.Steven David Pickering, Martin Ejnar Hansen & Yosuke Sunahara
    What drives public trust in artificial intelligence (AI)? This study examines the individual and institutional foundations of AI trust across two contrasting democracies: Japan and the United Kingdom. Drawing on original survey data (N = 3235), we test a set of hypotheses derived from trust-transfer perspectives and self-efficacy research, covering institutional trust, AI self-efficacy, technological optimism, perceived societal threat, and job displacement anxiety. The results show that trust in AI is shaped by both psychological predispositions and broader beliefs about the (...)

  8. Yuk Hui: Kant Machine: Critical Philosophy after AI. [REVIEW]Farman Ullah & Shihong Du
  9. Generative AI as meaning-mediating infrastructure in education: a critical integrative review of inclusion, exclusion, and semantic transduction.Steven Watson, Christian Morgner & Erik Brezovec
    This article offers a critical integrative review of current debates on generative AI (GenAI), educational inequality, and inclusion/exclusion. Rather than treating GenAI as either a neutral access tool or a simple amplifier of disadvantage, it analyses AI as meaning-mediating infrastructure that reshapes the communicative forms through which learners become addressable, recognised, supported, and evaluated. The review synthesises work from inclusive education, digital inequality, AI in education, critical edtech, science and technology studies, philosophy of technology, and Luhmannian systems theory. It argues (...)

  2. The Evidential and Ethical Weight of Opt‐Out Consent: An Empirical Bioethical Examination.Shang Long Yeo
    Opt‐out consent for posthumous organ donation has been criticized for its lower evidential weight: a person's not opting out of donation is poorer evidence of their preferences than their opting in to it, because their not opting out could be due to unawareness, inertia, or lack of preference. Do people also perceive opt‐out consent to have lower evidential weight, and how does this affect their downstream ethical judgments about the validity of consent and the appropriateness of families overriding it? Could (...)

    Consent in flux: when brain‑computer interface embodiment undermines informed consent.Yue Zhao & Yuan Lin
    Background In March 2026, China approved the first invasive brain‑computer interface (BCI) for clinical use globally. While this milestone accelerates neurotechnology translation, it exposes a neglected ethical problem: in some long-term invasive BCI cases, participants who initially consent to later device explantation may subsequently develop functional dependence on, and phenomenological incorporation of, the device. This paper examines whether such post-implantation integration can weaken the continuing moral authority of initial consent to explantation. Methods This paper provides a normative analysis grounded in (...)

    This research investigates the patterns of bioeconomy‐related disclosure on the websites of Canadian municipalities, viewed through the lenses of legitimacy, stakeholder, and institutional theories. Our sample consists of the 100 largest Canadian cities by population. Three patterns of municipalities' bioeconomy‐related disclosure emerged from our cluster analysis: limited bioeconomy disclosure, centered on biodiversity, and waste management and recycling; biodiversity‐driven disclosure, with particularly high biodiversity scores relative to the sample average, whereas other dimensions remain less well covered; and balanced extensive disclosure, thoroughly (...)

    Can I wrong someone to whom I stand in no social relation? After specifying the sense of “wronging” I have in mind, I consider agreements, and offer an account of them that explains their providing a context for wronging. This account appeals to a joint commitment of the parties. I go on to review and counter arguments from H. L. A.

  1. Law in Foucault’s thinking. The Hispanic American scene.Luciana Alvarez
    In this work we aim to give an account of the particular conditions of reception of Foucault's thought in Hispanic America around the problem of law, early developed by Enrique Marí and Antonio Serrano Gonzalez. By doing so, we hope to show several things: on the one hand, the fact that the abandonment thesis, certainly central in Anglo-Saxon debate, was not relevant in the Hispanic American scene until it was transplanted in the second decade of 21st Century; on the other (...)

  2. Linguistic violence and its corporal wounds: performativity and phenomenology.Javier Castellote Lillo
    In this article reflects on the possibility that certain violent uses of language can generate bodily wounds. In contrast to violence of a physical nature, the violence of language is usually characterized as symbolic and, by extension, is interpreted as a mode of violence that does not directly affect the body, but rather the mind and the social recognition of the person and the group to which it is directed. However, based on the conceptual framework opened by Petra Gehring, it (...)

  3. Structural explanation in Biology. Challenging the scope of mechanistic explanation.Roger Deulofeu Batllori
    Philosophical analysis of scientific explanation in biology for the past 20 years has been dominated by the new mechanism account. The new mechanism provides a new framework to think about traditional concepts in the philosophy of science, and in particular, his model of scientific explanation as the description of a mechanism with its parts, activities and their causal connection has been very successful in capturing how explanation works mainly in experimental biology. However, the rise of systems biology and the development (...)

En primer lugar, explico la razón por la que Kant decidió desacreditar el problema de la teodicea dentro del ámbito del saber filosófico. Tras la reconstrucción del conflicto contemporáneo sobre el ensayo de Kant sobre teodicea, sostengo que la razón de este fracaso reside en el concepto de lo contrario a fin. En segundo lugar, explico los orígenes del neo- (...)

  5. Youth, religion and community. The Nietzschean roots of Walter Benjamin’s early thought.Alexandre Iglesias Rodríguez
    This paper aims to analyse the influence of Friedrich Nietzsche on Walter Benjamin’s early thought. This requires an initial examination of the relationship between Benjamin and Gustav Wyneken, Benjamin’s teacher and mentor in his youth, whose role in Benjamin’s reception of Nietzsche’s thought is key. Subsequently, through an examination of Benjamin’s early work, it is shown how the presence of Nietzschean philosophy is a constant presence in the foundations of his philosophical pretensions, mainly, though not exclusively, in the field of (...)
