    Einleitung: Polyamorie.Kühler Michael & Janina Loh - 2023 - Zeitschrift für Praktische Philosophie 10 (2).
    Die Vorstellung, dass wir mehrere Menschen zugleich lieben können, wird in modernen, westlich geprägten Gesellschaften sowohl als fast trivialerweise wahr anerkannt, als auch als grundsätzlich verfehlt abgelehnt. Während beispielsweise kein Zweifel daran besteht, dass wir üblicherweise unsere Eltern und zeitgleich etwaige Geschwister sowie umgekehrt Eltern für gewöhnlich alle ihre Kinder lieben und wir zudem zumeist mehrere enge und tiefe Freundschaften pflegen, ist die gesellschaftlich vorherrschende Auffassung von romantischer Liebe weitgehend von der Idee geprägt, dass es sich ausschließlich um exklusive Zweierbeziehungen (...)

    Can a value-neutral liberal state still be tolerant?Michael Kühler - 2021 - Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy 24 (1):25-44.
    Toleration is typically defined as follows: an agent (A), for some reason, objects to certain actions or practices of someone else (B), but has outweighing other reasons to accept these actions or practices nonetheless and, thus, refrains from interfering with or preventing B from acting accordingly, although A has the power to interfere. So understood, (mutual) toleration is taken to allow for peaceful coexistence and ideally even cooperation amongst people who disagree with each other on crucial questions on how to (...)

    Modus Vivendi and Toleration.Michael Kühler - 2018 - In John Horton, Manon Westphal & Ulrich Willems (eds.), The Political Theory of Modus Vivendi. Cham: Springer Verlag. pp. 235-253.
    In this chapter, I address the two closely related notions of modus vivendi and toleration. Drawing from conceptual clarifications and a distinction between different conceptions of toleration, I argue that an analogous discussion can be provided for the concept of modus vivendi and for a distinction between different conceptions of it. The resulting conceptions of modus vivendi, and especially a distinct ethical conception, allow for a more precise and more promising line of argument when it comes to using the notion (...)

    Romantische Liebe und die Freiheit zu gehen.Michael Kühler - 2019 - In Simone Dietz, Hannes Foth & Svenja Wiertz (eds.), Die Freiheit Zu Gehen: Ausstiegsoptionen in Politischen, Sozialen Und Existenziellen Kontexten. Wiesbaden: Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden. pp. 195-222.
    Dass wir romantische Liebesbeziehungen im Alltag freiwillig beenden können, indem wir beispielsweise aus der gemeinsamen Wohnung ausziehen oder gar den Kontakt gänzlich abbrechen, scheint eine Trivialität zu sein. Können wir uns aber auch frei entscheiden, nicht mehr zu lieben? Während die alltagspraktische Ebene „nur“ die Handlungsfreiheit liebender Personen betrifft, führt die Frage nach dem Lieben auf eine zweite, tieferliegende Ebene. Diese betrifft die Frage, inwiefern liebende Personen als autonom mit Blick auf ihr eigenes Lieben angesehen werden können, d. h. ob (...)

    Bluescreen der Liebe? Dating-Apps und Erich Fromms konstatierte Irrtümer unserer modernen Liebesauffassung.Michael Kühler - 2023 - In Gottfried Schweiger & Michael Zichy (eds.), Zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen im Zeitalter des Digitalen: Ethische und interdisziplinäre Perspektiven. Springer Berlin Heidelberg. pp. 2147483647-2147483647.
    Erich Fromm hat 1956 in seinem zum Bestseller avancierten Buch „Die Kunst des Liebens“ zu Beginn drei Irrtümer unserer modernen Liebesauffassung moniert. Anstatt die eigene Fähigkeit zu lieben im Sinne einer charakterlichen Entwicklung möglichst gut auszubilden, gehe es den meisten erstens primär darum, geliebt zu werden und sich daher möglichst attraktiv darzustellen. Zweitens stehe die Suche nach einem passenden Liebesobjekt im Zentrum. Drittens schließlich würde Liebe mit Verliebtheit verwechselt. Die in Dating-Apps (implizit) vorausgesetzte Vorstellung romantischer Liebe scheint prima facie allen (...)

    Moralische Dilemmata, die Gefahr moraltheoretischer Inkonsistenz und der zugrunde gelegte Pflichtbegriff.Michael Kühler - 2008 - Zeitschrift für Philosophische Forschung 62 (4):516-536.
    Die Anerkennung der Existenz moralischer Dilemmata wird häufig als ernste Bedrohung moraltheoretischer Konsistenz angesehen. Im Beitrag wird zunächst mit Hilfe deontischer Logik nachgezeichnet, inwiefern moralische Dilemmata zu moraltheoretischer Inkonsistenz führen. Anschließend wird die Differenzierung zwischen tatsächlichen und prima facie-Pflichten erläutert und kritisiert, mit deren Hilfe die Inkonsistenz zu vermeiden und zugleich der in moralischen Dilemmata verbleibende moralische Rest in die Analyse zu integrieren versucht wird. Es wird dafür argumentiert, dass diese Differenzierung des Pflichtbegriffs nicht zu überzeugen vermag. Zu überdenken ist (...)

    Sinnstiftung durch soziale Einbettung.Michael Kühler - 2018 - Zeitschrift für Praktische Philosophie 5 (2):151-178.
    Die aktuelle philosophische Debatte darüber, was ein Leben zu einem sinnvollen Leben macht, wird gemeinhin vor dem Hintergrund einer werttheoretischen Auseinandersetzung innerhalb der übergreifenden Debatte um ein gutes Leben geführt. Ein sinnvolles Leben sei demnach grundsätzlich eines, in dem die Person bestimmten als wertvoll und daher sinnstiftend angesehenen Tätigkeiten nachgeht oder bestimmte zur Sinnstiftung geeignete Werte zu befördern sucht. In meinem Artikel widerspreche ich dieser werttheoretischen Engführung und gehe vielmehr von einer werttheoretisch neutralen Formulierung der Frage nach Sinn im Leben (...)

    Einleitung: Das Schöne, Wahre und Gute – Das sinnvolle Leben in der Diskussion.Michael Kühler, Sebastian Muders & Markus Rüther - 2018 - Zeitschrift für Praktische Philosophie 5 (2):41-54.
    Die Kategorie des Sinns oder des Sinnvollen findet in der jüngeren Diskussion um die normative Theorie des guten Lebens erhöhte Aufmerksamkeit. Viele Autoren gehen mittlerweile davon aus, dass eine umfassende Bestimmung des guten Lebens nicht mehr ohne die Erwähnung und Erläuterung der Wertdimension des sinnvollen Lebens auskommt. Typischerweise wird dieses Syntagma so verstanden, dass damit ein Wertaspekt des Teil- oder Gesamtlebens eines Individuums gemeint ist, welches in einer bestimmten, von anderen Wertdimensionen des guten Lebens noch abzugrenzenden Hinsicht als lobenswert, bedeutsam (...)

    Theories of the Self and Autonomy in Medical Ethics.Michael Kühler & Veselin L. Mitrović (eds.) - 2020 - Springer.
    This book engages in a critical discussion on how to respect and promote patients’ autonomy in difficult cases such as palliative care and end-of-life decisions. These cases pose specific epistemic, normative, and practical problems, and the book elucidates the connection between the practical implications of the theoretical debate on respecting autonomy, on the one hand, and specific questions and challenges that arise in medical practice, on the other hand. Given that the idea of personal autonomy includes the notion of authenticity (...)

    Toleranz und/oder Paternalismus im engeren sozialen Nahbereich?Michael Kühler - 2017 - Zeitschrift für Praktische Philosophie 4 (2):63-86.
    Ist uns eine Person wichtig, möchten wir häufig zwei Haltungen zugleich an den Tag legen, die sich jedoch in einem Spannungsverhältnis zueinander befinden: einerseits eine tolerante Haltung und andererseits eine paternalistische. Zum einen sind wir üblicherweise der Überzeugung, dass andere und insbesondere uns Nahestehende ein Recht darauf haben, in ihren eigenen Angelegenheiten auch ihre eigenen Entscheidungen zu treffen. Dies gilt selbst dann, wenn uns diese Entscheidungen fragwürdig vorkommen. Wir haben diese dann zu tolerieren. Zum anderen neigen wir häufig erneut gerade (...)

    Handbuch Handlungstheorie: Grundlagen, Kontexte, Perspektiven.Markus Rüther & Michael Kühler (eds.) - 2016 - Stuttgart: J.B. Metzler.
    Was genau ist eine Handlung? Wie unterscheidet sie sich von bloßem Verhalten und von Ereignissen? Und wie lassen sich Handlungsgründe analysieren? Und welche Rolle spielt der Handlungsbegriff etwa in der Metaethik, der Normativen Ethik und der Angewandten Ethik? Das Handbuch präsentiert die historischen sowie systematischen Grundlagen der Handlungstheorie und spannt einen weiten Bogen bis hin zu Fragen der Verantwortlichkeit, der Willensfreiheit oder der personalen Autonomie. Ein Kapitel zur Angewandten Ethik sowie ein Ausblick auf interdisziplinäre Perspektiven beschließen den Band.

    Love, Justice, and Autonomy: Philosophical Perspectives.Rachel Fedock, Michael Kühler & T. Raja Rosenhagen (eds.) - 2021 - Routledge.
    Philosophers have long been interested in love and its general role in morality. This volume focuses on and explores the complex relation between love and justice as it appears within loving relationships, between lovers and their wider social context, and the broader political realm. Special attention is paid to the ensuing challenge of understanding and respecting the lovers’ personal autonomy in all three contexts. Accordingly, the essays in this volume are divided into three thematic sections. Section I aims at shedding (...)

    The Limits of Moral Obligation: Moral Demandingness and Ought Implies Can.Marcel van Ackeren & Michael Kühler (eds.) - 2015 - New York: Routledge.
    This volume responds to the growing interest in finding explanations for why moral claims may lose their validity based on what they ask of their addressees. Two main ideas relate to that question: the moral demandingness objection and the principle "ought implies can." Though both of these ideas can be understood to provide an answer to the same question, they have usually been discussed separately in the philosophical literature. The aim of this collection is to provide a focused and comprehensive (...)

    On its surface, the movie her depicts a classical romance: boy meets girl, both fall in love, the relationship evolves, until they finally and sadly break up. What makes this conventional plot special and worthwhile of being used in philosophical investigation is the fact that the girl in this case is an artificial intelligence —Samantha is an operating system owned by Theodore. But is reciprocal, romantic love between a human and an AI even possible, and, if so, might there be (...)

    Effects of age on the interactions of attentional and emotional processes: a prefrontal fNIRS study.Michael K. Yeung - forthcoming - Cognition and Emotion.
    The aging of attentional and emotional functions has been extensively studied but relatively independently. Therefore, the relationships between aging and the interactions of attentional and emotional processes remain elusive. This study aimed to determine how age affected the interactions between attentional and emotional processes during adulthood. One-hundred forty adults aged 18–79 performed the emotional variant of the Attention Network Test, which probed alerting, orienting, and executive control in the presence and absence of threatening faces. During this task, contexts with varying (...)

  33. Nonsubstantial Individuals.Michael V. Wedin - 2000 - In Michael V. Wedin (ed.), Aristotle's Theory of Substance : The Categories and Metaphysics Zeta: The Categories and Metaphysics Zeta. Oxford, GB: Oxford University Press UK.
    Wedin addresses the debate over whether nonsubstantial individuals, that inhere in a subject but are not said of a subject, i.e. accidents, such as the pallor of Socrates, are nonrecurring particulars or a kind of determinate universal. Wedin examines the secondary literature on this topic and divides it into two schools of thought, determined by the contributions of J.L. Ackrill and G.E.L. Owen. According to Ackrill, individuals in non‐substance categories are particular to the substance they are in; Owen critiques Ackrill's (...)

  34. Tales of the Two Treatises.Michael V. Wedin - 2000 - In Michael V. Wedin (ed.), Aristotle's Theory of Substance : The Categories and Metaphysics Zeta: The Categories and Metaphysics Zeta. Oxford, GB: Oxford University Press UK.
    Wedin considers the problem of the compatibility of the Categories account of primary substance with the theory of substantial form of the Metaphysics. Wedin collects from the secondary literature the most important arguments for incompatibilism, and offers some proposals for restoring their harmony. While admitting the evident differences in the way Aristotle treats the question of substance in each treatise, Wedin is keen to argue that these differences are not sufficient to conclude that the treatises are incompatible. Wedin singles out (...)

    People from one cultural background often find themselves wondering how those from a different cultural background could willingly live the way they do and/or criticize others for living in the way they do. How are we to explain this kind of mutual incomprehension? Three different possible explanations will be considered. The first is that such mutual incomprehension is sourced in a moral flaw. The flaw might be in one of the cultures, as certain cultures might be premised on a moral (...)

  37. Commitment and Configuration in the Categories.Michael V. Wedin - 2000 - In Michael V. Wedin (ed.), Aristotle's Theory of Substance : The Categories and Metaphysics Zeta: The Categories and Metaphysics Zeta. Oxford, GB: Oxford University Press UK.
    Wedin considers the relation between the ontological commitment in the Categories and the semantical theory of underlying ontological configurations for standard categorical statements. According to Wedin, Aristotle's fourfold division of beings, which divides things according to whether they are, or are not, said of, and/or present in a subject, is a meta‐ontology that is concerned with beings per se, i.e. the fundamental things that are. Wedin explains that the primacy of c‐substance involves an asymmetry in the relation between c‐substance and (...)

  38. Form as Essence.Michael V. Wedin - 2000 - In Michael V. Wedin (ed.), Aristotle's Theory of Substance : The Categories and Metaphysics Zeta: The Categories and Metaphysics Zeta. Oxford, GB: Oxford University Press UK.
    Wedin argues that Aristotle makes form the substance of c‐substances because it is the essence of the c‐substance. Much of this chapter consists of a careful examination of a passage in Metaphysics Zeta 4, which Wedin calls the ‘New Primacy Passage’, that is crucial to Wedin's overall thesis, because here Aristotle appeals to a notion of definitional primacy, as opposed to the ontological primacy of the Categories. Z.4 focuses on this claim that form must be essence: Wedin argues that essence (...)

    Wedin offers an interpretation of Metaphysics Zeta 13, a very important and difficult chapter, where Aristotle apparently denies that substance is a universal, having, on most accounts, already claimed that form is substance, and that form is a universal. This interpretation of the argument of Z.13, Wedin argues, threatens the possibility of attaining a definition of substance, and places in doubt what has gone before in the treatise. According to Wedin, what Aristotle is concerned with in Z.13 is not the (...)

    Chapters 10 and 11 are critical to the argument of Metaphysics Zeta: these chapters are concerned with the purification of form. Z.10 introduces the apparatus of part and whole and consists of an argument to the end that form and its parts have priority over the other internal structural components of c‐substances, i.e. matter and the compound of form and matter; while in Z.11 Aristotle argues that form and its parts cannot involve any admixture of matter. Wedin argues that the (...)

  41. The Structure and Substance of Substance.Michael V. Wedin - 2000 - In Michael V. Wedin (ed.), Aristotle's Theory of Substance : The Categories and Metaphysics Zeta: The Categories and Metaphysics Zeta. Oxford, GB: Oxford University Press UK.
    In the Metaphysics, Aristotle often says that ‘form is substance’: in this chapter, Wedin argues that ‘substance’ in this context means the ‘substance‐of’ c‐substances. Wedin begins by examining Aristotle's use, and retention, of the framework of the Categories in Metaphysics Zeta, before turning to discuss Z.3, which is crucial to understanding the relation between the Categories and Metaphysics theories of substance, because it is usually thought that here Aristotle departs from the substance of the Categories. Wedin denies that Z.3 involves (...)

    Wedin discusses Aristotle's claims in Metaphysics Zeta 6 that the essence of a thing is to be sought among its per se attributes, and that each thing that is primary and spoken of per se, e.g. primary substance, is the same as its essence. Wedin argues that the Zeta 6 Thesis, i.e. that the essence of a thing is the thing's immediate essence, is a crucial requirement of the explanatory role of essence as the substance of c‐substances. According to Wedin, (...)

    Ethics: a quick immersion.Michael Slote - 2023 - New York: Tibidabo Publishing.
    This introduction treats the field of ethics in a new way. The main topic is normative ethics and in particular the ethics of moral right and wrong, and the emphasis is on the recently highlighted division or conflict between ethical rationalism and moral sentimentalism. Rationalism treats moral judgment and motivation as a matter of rational judgment, and its main practitioners have been Immanuel Kant and, more recently, the intuitionists H. A. Prichard and W. D. Ross. Philosophical weaknesses in intuitionism have (...)

    Utilitarianism does best to approach justice, rationality, and various virtues in symmetric and impartialist fashion. A scalar form of utilitarianism that makes only comparative judgments of better and worse may be preferable for abstract theoretical purposes, though not in practice.

    Utilitarian Underdetermination.Michael Slote - 1992 - In From morality to virtue. New York: Oxford University Press.
    Utilitarianism is also underdetermined as a theory. It must be stated either in actualist form or in some sort of expectabilist terms. But neither choice seems preferable to the other, and this makes it difficult to settle on and defend any particular version of utilitarianism.

    Virtue‐Ethical Luck.Michael Slote - 1992 - In From morality to virtue. New York: Oxford University Press.
    Just like commonsense morality, commonsense virtue ethics faces complicated issues about luck. However, if luck plays a role in our development of virtuous or vicious traits of character, then we can evaluate such traits in virtue‐ethical terms without blaming or condemning those, e.g., whom we wish, in favored terms, to criticize. This approach is very reminiscent of Spinoza.

  50. Virtue Rules.Michael Slote - 1992 - In From morality to virtue. New York: Oxford University Press.
