Value Ethics

Value ethics is a practical approach in applied ethics that is aimed at generating solutions for ethical and social problems . Many ethical problems involve multiple stakeholders, viewpoints, and ethical convictions. Technology development, for instance, is full of ethically contested issues where stakeholders’ interests and values clash. Think about the heated discussion of genetically modified food or green energy, like wind turbines, and the ‘not-in-my-backyard’ movements of residents. The value ethics approach accounts for this diversity and seeks to facilitate solutions that realize the most possible value for the various stakeholders affected by the problem. To achieve this, value ethics provides a method that takes seriously the different perspectives and interests of multiple stakeholders in a deliberative process.

Syllabus Political Epistemology (master course, PPE master)

This is a syllabus for the course Political Epistemology – Knowledge and in Markets and Democracy from the PPE master of Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Groningen. It contains the course structure and assigned readings for the 8 week course. The course summary reads as follows: We live in societies marked by the interplay of capitalist markets and democratic political structures. Both markets and democracies are mechanisms of social coordination in which the aggregation of knowledge plays an important role. But what is knowledge in the first place? Does it make sense to refer to notions of “truth” or “facts” in political contexts? And how does the use of knowledge work in different social spheres? While markets aggregate certain forms of knowledge through the price mechanism, democracies attempt to do so through deliberation and voting. What are the strengths and weaknesses of these mechanisms, and how well do they work for different forms of knowledge? What difference does it make that we live in a “digital age”? And last but not least: how do the ways in which societies deal with knowledge influence the delicate interplay between capitalism and democracy?
