Daniel A. Bell terrà un seminario su "Democracy or Meritocracy? How China can set the new century's political Zeitgeist " il 22 maggio prossimo dalle 16 alle 18 (link)- via Vittorio Emanuele II, 49, aula riunioni (primo piano). Di seguito, una breve descrizione del suo intervento:
"Is China developing its own political path? And what can we learn from China's experiment? Daniel A. Bell discusses China's political system evaluating its focus on "political meritocracy" rather than "one person, one vote". If meritocracy will provide political stability and economic success in the next decades, what will be its impact on Western democracy and its frustrated expectations?"
Il secondo seminario sarà tenuto da Howard Williams (Aberystwyth University, UK), autore di libri influenti tra cui Kant's Political Philosophy (1983); Concepts of Ideology (1988); International Relations in Political Theory (1992); Kant’s Critique of Hobbes: Sovereignty and Cosmopolitanism (2003).
"The purpose of this talk is to consider the question of the origin of human rights from a Kantian perspective. I want to open up the possibility that there is a systematic structure to human rights thinking – which was evinced in the debates that led to the setting up of the United Nations and the drafting of the UN declaration of rights – that is also given expression in Kant’s foundational doctrines about law and international relations. My thesis is not that Kant anticipated all that was to unfold in the twentieth century elucidation and development of human rights but rather that the ideas that Kant introduces and expounds in his doctrine of right have clear and positive implications for the human rights culture of today, and so the role of the individual in international law."
Howard Williams parlerà di "Kantian human rights or How the individual has come to matter in international law" il 26 maggio dalle 16-18 (link) - via Vittorio Emanuele II, 49, aula riunioni (primo piano). Di seguito, una breve descrizione del suo intervento:
