Habermas NCTournament: Blake | Round: 1 | Opponent: Golda Meir AH | Judge: Lai, William Habermas NC LB1NCFrameworkAgents lack the ability to fully ground knowledge since people come to their own conclusions, so our perspectives is the most indicative of truth.Anker 09 Michael Anker "The Ethics of Unvertainty: Aporetic Openings" 2009 Atropos Press LB Each agent has their own experience that makes their ethics unique, so ethics should focus in closing the gap between agentsNagel 86 Thomas Nagel "The View from Nowhere" 1986 Oxford University Press https://www.scribd.com/doc/168073579/Nagel-The-View-From-Nowhere-pdf LB NC framework outweighs AC. It their framework were true it could only be understood and acted upon through interactions within the community. Any ethic must facilitate inclusion to derive a truth.Habermas 98 Jurgen Habermas "The Inclusion of the Other: Studies in Political Theory" MIT Press 1998 LB Justifying an ethical theory means nothing if the agent isn’t included in the discussion.

Kant ncTournament: Harvard westlake | Round: 4 | Opponent: Immaculate Heart LM | Judge: Eckert, Bennett In engaging in any activity, we can always ask why we engage in it. For example, if you’re playing chess I can ask why you moved the pawn forward one. If you give any answer other than "because I’m playing chess," there’s regress because I can question your answer with another "why" to infinity. And, the constitutive feature of being an agent is rational reflection. To even question whether we want to be agents concedes the authority of agency because we’re reflecting on our desires. Thus, practical reflection is an inescapable aspect of agency. Next, rational reflection requires that the maxims we act upon be universalizable. Any reasoner would know that two plus two equals four because there is no a priori distinction between agents so norms must be universally valid. And- willing coercion is a contradiction in conception because you extend your own freedom while simultaneously undermining your ability to act in the first place. In order to prevent coercion individuals must submit to the omnilateral will.Kant Immanuel Kant (leading Kantian scholar) The Metaphysical Elements of Justice, trans. John Ladd. 1797. Indianapolis: Hackett Publsihing, 1999. Thus, the standard is consistency with the omnilateral will. Prefer the standard: all frameworks presuppose freedom. People can only be held responsible for unethical actions if they chose to do them, but choice itself requires that people can pick which actions to take without threat of force. For example, if someone holds a gun to my head and makes me steal someone’s apple, I am not truly culpable because I wasn’t free.Impact analysis: Only freedom violations intrinsic to the structure of the action are relevant. 1. Freedom is a property of agency, not a consequence. Adding two circles doesn’t make anything more circular than it was before, just like two humans aren’t freer than one human. 2. We can’t be culpable for foreseen consequences.Hegel 20 George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel The Philosophy of Right 1820 I contend that public entities have an obligation to restrict some constitutionally protected free speech.First, speech acts that intend to incite revolution dissolve the authority of the sovereign and must be prohibited.Varden 10 Helga Varden (Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Illinois) "A Kantian Conception of Free Speech" May 22nd 2010 Freedom of Expression in a Diverse World Volume 3 of the series AMINTAPHIL: The Philosophical Foundations of Law and Justice pp 39-55 http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.10072F978-90-481-8999-1'4 JW Second, hate speech relies on historical oppression, which obligates the state to intervene.Varden 10 Helga Varden (Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Illinois) "A Kantian Conception of Free Speech" May 22nd 2010 Freedom of Expression in a Diverse World Volume 3 of the series AMINTAPHIL: The Philosophical Foundations of Law and Justice pp 39-55 http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.10072F978-90-481-8999-1'4 JW | 1/15/17 |
