    Procreative Responsibility and Modern Species Morality: A Foucauldian Critique of Population Ethics
    (EUT Edizioni Università di Trieste, 2019)
    Swianiewicz, Jan
    Every ethical theory implies a set of assumptions about human nature related to historically var-iable conditions of human practice. In the following paper, I focus on a set of such explicit and implicit assumptions about human beings in a new area of ethics, which has come to be known as “population ethics”. Dating back to 1970s, this subdiscipline of ethics concerns itself with moral dilemmas involved in creating people understood as influencing their existence, number and/or identity. This concerns the problem of responsibility for future generations as well as diverse problems of governing present day human populations. Through analysis of the two main opposing standpoints in this field – those of Derek Parfit’s “impersonalism” and of David Heyd’s “person-affecting approach” – I try to show that in its present state population ethics lacks a clear concept of the moral agent, that is a concept of an individual or collective subject acting as a co-author of certain morality of creating people also accountable for its implementation. This lack can be supplemented by Foucault’s concepts of biopolitical processes of subjectivation and re-sposiblization. Seen from this perspective logical paradoxes of utilitarian population ethics reveal the underlying social contradictions of what can be called our modern “species morality”.

    The Dialectics of Self-Conscious Life and the Constitution of Social Practices in Hegel’s Philosophy
    (EUT Edizioni Università di Trieste, 2019)
    Seddone, Guido
    In this contribution I defend the thesis that Hegel’s notion of species (Gattung) is not merely the name given to a group of self-reproducing living beings but rather it is at the basis of the Hegelian naturalistic conceptions of self-conscious life, sociality and world history. I maintain that self-reflection and self-referring negativity are the main characteristics of the self-conscious life and they determine the features of both the individual self-consciousness and the entire human spe-cies by shaping social practices and world history as acts of actualized freedom. Therefore, the definition of human species goes far beyond the description of its natural features and depends on the fact that self-consciousness is able to determine itself by negating external powers or con-ditioning. The main argument of this contribution is that human species and its historical evolution can be defined by means of this self-referring negativity and by self-consciousness’ capacity to place the external reality under an order of values and concept autonomously yielded.

    Sacro, potenza, tecnica: un’indagine di Mauro Magatti
    (EUT Edizioni Università di Trieste, 2019)
    Marrone, Pierpaolo
    In this article I examine some of the themes of Mauro Magatti’s Oltre l’infinito. Storia della potenza dal sacro alla tecnica. I argue that the utopian tension proper to religion has moved into the technique and that this is a common element also with the spirit of capitalism and with some recent ecological and communist utopias.

    Ethics in International Political Economy: No Question about It
    (EUT Edizioni Università di Trieste, 2019)
    Kamminga, Menno R.
    'Conventional' models of how the field of international political economy should engage with ethics have proposed or assumed the normative primacy of ethical principles and often sought to add reliable empirical economic analysis so that political perspectives on economic systems, institutions and practices can result. James Brassett and Christopher Holmes (2010) have criticized such approaches for overlooking the potentially violent character of ethics as a constitu- tive discourse like any other. The present article defends the conventional method against Brassett and Holmes's critique. Focusing especially on Thomas Pogge's ethics of world poverty as Brassett and Holmes's main conventionalist target, the article argues that: (i) Brassett and Holme s's understanding of 'ethics' is seriously inadequate; (ii) Pogge's 'negative duty not to harm' principle should be maintained against Brassett and Holmes's troublingly 'political' account and facile relativist critique of Pogge's ethics; (iii) Brassett and Holmes, while conceivably critical of Pogge's global level reformist solution as superficially 'neo liberal', cannot see that their own arguably valuable proposal of radical local forms of 'resistance' can coherently complete Pogge's poverty ethics and thus confirms, rather than undermines, the conventional method. Ultimately, Brassett and Holmes's post structural attempt risks being 'violent' itself for implying a renewed international moral skepticism.
