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?

Common Sense: Boycott Holland

The cause of the economic crisis lies in democracy. Our governments obstruct economic co-ordination. Next to "Greek statistics" there is censorship of economic science in Holland. Our democracy relies on the checks and balances of the Executive, Legislative and Judiciary branches of government. These allow too much room for politicians to manipulate information. The solution is an Economic Supreme Court (ESC) based in science. European countries do not have to transfer sovereignty to Brussels but politicians have to transfer power to their national ESC. The current problems in finance, banking and national debt are only symptoms. The underlying economic problem is stagflation, i.e. a dismal combination of unemployment and inflation. In 1980-2007 governments tried to solve stagflation by deregulating (financial) markets. With new regulations the underlying stagflation rears its ugly head again. The author was at the Dutch Central Planning Bureau in 1982-1991 where his analysis met with censorship. After 20 years of protest it is advisable to boycott Holland.

Geert Mak over macht en de geschiedenis van Europa | Radboud Reflects Lecture met Reinout van der Veer en Albertine Bloemendal

Hoe werkt politieke macht? Voor welke dilemma’s stonden de vormers van Europa en welke lessen kunnen we hieruit trekken? Bij de vorming van Europa na de Tweede Wereldoorlog waren er enorme uitdagingen: er heerste diepe verdeeldheid, de democratie stond overal onder grote druk en de economie piepte en kraakte. Grote thema’s die nu ook nog steeds spelen. Schrijver Geert Mak verdiepte zich in zijn nieuwe boek Wisselwachter in het leven van de Amerikaan Harry Hopkins, een onbekend sleutelfiguur bij de vorming van Europa. Wat kan de geschiedenis van Hopkins ons leren over Europa nu? Kom luisteren naar schrijver Geert Mak, politicoloog Reinout van der Veer en Amerikanist Albertine Bloemendal en denk verder over macht, invloed en het ontstaan van Europa.

The Rest Is History | 412. Romans in Space: Star Wars, Dune and Beyond...

Extolling his love for democracy, the Senator took on autocratic powers, during a time of emergency, to save the Republic. The Republic was then abolished, and in its place rose an Empire… This is not the story of Julius Caesar or Augustus, but of ‘Star Wars’, the blockbuster movie series telling the story of a struggle between good and evil, a battle for the revival of the old Republic. But is the world of ‘Star Wars’ really inspired by Roman history? How does ‘Dune’ reflect the birth and growth of Islam? Why does ‘The Hunger Games’ use Roman iconography and names? Does Isaac Asimov’s ‘Foundation’ reflect the fall of the Roman Empire? Join Tom and Dominic in today’s episode, as they look at how the Roman myth has seeped into popular culture, inspiring quests, stories and entire worlds, from ‘Star Wars’ to ‘Dune’, ‘Star Trek’, ‘The Hunger Games’, and many more sci-fi bestsellers.
