Hodnoticí metody a kritéria

nespecifikováno
Hodiny kombinují úvodní přednášku s diskusí tématu (v některých případech založenou na zadané četbě; ne všechny hodiny ale mají svou zadanou četbu). Očekává se 80% účast studentů a aktivní účast v seminářové diskusi. --- OTÁZKY K ZAMYŠLENÍ k jednotlivým hodinám 2. Critiques of public reason liberalism 1) Must there be the "right answer" to political questions? 2) If it is there sometimes, in what kinds of cases? 3) Can these be guided by expertise, or particular kind of values? 4) What is the role of experts in policy and politics? 5) What is the role of ideology there? (just a term of abuse?) 3. The contemporary "conservatisms" 1) Is "tradition" a value, or a valid argument? 2) Can rights be only individual, or group-related, too? 3) Should religion count in politics? 4) How true are political truths? 5) What is the role of (claimed) identity in politics? 4. Race and racism 1) Are particular political institutions inherently racist? 2) Is the racist past of a constitution a problem for its legitimacy? (In what way can the past racism project itself into the present?) 3) Can an egalitarian political system (e.g. liberalism) be racist? (ideal vs. non-ideal theory) 5. Colonialism, postcolonialism, orientalism 1) Can privileged national perspectives (former colonial rulers) be reliable voices of universal concerns? 2) Does the political "we" presuppose "others"? 3) The nature of relations to "our" friendly (subsidiary) "others" - political taking care of, prescribing, shaping 4) Are inequalities of the contemporary global politics extensions of the colonial mindset? (cf. also the former Eastern Bloc)? 5) The importance of "identity" (dual, multiple) and "civilisation" in politics 6. War 1) Can there be a just war (other than clear cases of self-defence)? 2) Can pre-emptive warfare count for proportionate/just self-defence? 3) What is the difference between (generic) warfare and war crimes? 4) What is the relationship between statehood (nationhood, citizenship) and war engagement? 7. Poverty and inequality 1) What is involved in poverty? 2) Is poverty an individual problem / if so, how does it reflect on individuals' relationship to institutions/organisations? 3) Can poverty/inequality be addressed/solved as a problem at an international/global level? 4) Is the term itself moralistic/moralising? 8. "Capitalist realism" and Universal Basic Income 1) Does work constitute our dignity and identity? 2) Can Universal Basic Income be justified? (how?) 3) Is capitalism inevitable, or is its "inevitability" insidious sophistry? 9. The politics of "overpopulation" 1) Who is overpopulated? 2) Who has the mandate to judge overpopulation? 3) Is Malthusianism inherently racist? 4) What are possible critical replies to the overpopulation discourse? 5) Can individual rights be violated in the name of securing sustainable population? --- POŽADAVKY NA ZKOUŠKU: 1) Krátký (1000-2000 slov) esej v polovině semestru na studentem vybrané téma (předběžný deadline: 31. 3.) 2) Text "teze" prezentující filosofický problém ("Problem Analysis"), na téma diskutované během kursu. Může být založen na tématu eseje, anebo na jiné téma. Teze bude známkována (zkouška).
