Moral dilemmas—like the ‘‘trolley problem’’ or real-world examples like capital punishment—result from a conflict between consequentialist and deontological intuitions (i.e., whether ends justify means). The authors contend that people often resolve such moral conflict by aligning factual beliefs about consequences of acts with evaluations of the act’s inherent morality (i.e., morality independ...

This paper compares and contrasts Michael Huemer’s Principle of Phenomenal Conservatism with Husserl’s well-known Principle of All Principles. Despite some similarities, I argue that the two are quite different. I examine several cases in which the theories provide different assessments of a belief’s epistemic status, and argue that Husserl’s gives the correct answer in each case. I also argue ...

classic political sociology dogmatically considers women politically more conservative than men and accordingly, women’s models of political behaviors are expressed based on their inherent tendencies towards right-wing conservative parties. but new research indicates that in developed countries during 1980’s, women gradually distanced from traditional conservatism and joint democratic groups. i...

David Cameron’s leadership of the Conservatives took as its starting point assumption that party needed to modernise, requiring a move towards political ‘centre ground’. This shift presented with series challenges, including brand detoxification, management, and policy renewal. Modernisation also implied ideological change, distance from legacy Thatcherism realign conservatism values wider sect...

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of research related to computational complexity of structured singular value (a.k.a. ) problems. A survey of computational complexity results in problems is followed by a concise introduction to computational complexity theory that is useful to characterize the eywords: athematical systems theory obust control omputational complexity inherent difficu...

Abstract G. A. Cohen's value conservatism entails that we ought to preserve some existing sources of in lieu more valuable replacements, thereby repudiating maximizing consequentialism. Cohen motivates through illustrative cases. The consequentialist, however, can explain many Cohen-style cases by taking extrinsic properties, such as historical significance, be final value. Nevertheless, it may...
