Philosophers have been surprisingly reticent on this question. Theories of justice tell us what an ideally justsociety would look like. Ethical theories tell us the morally right thing to do. But philosophers have virtually no such comparably systematic theories of social change, that is, theories telling us the right way to bring about a just society. An underlying interest in social change animates the growing number of what Sally Haslanger (2013) calls “ameliorative” projects that have taken root in the so-called ’core’ areas of metaphysics, epistemology, and language, just as it has promoted greater attention to real-world oppression within ethics, moral psychology, aesthetics, social and political philosophy. This article shows that social change deserves to be recognized as an area of philosophical study in its own right. “The Causes and Patterns of Change” (pp. 14-44) in Charles Harper and Kevin Leicht, (2018) Exploring Social Change, Taylor and Francis, Milton Park.

Most commonly, this case is made by arguing that democracies are better able to track the truth than other political arrangements. Truth, however, is not the only epistemic good that is politically valuable. A number of other epistemic goods – goods including evidence, intellectual virtue, epistemic justice, and empathetic understanding – can also have political value, and in ways that go beyond the value of truth. In this paper, I will survey those who have argued that democracy can be valuable because of these other epistemic benefits, considering (1) the ways in which these epistemic goods can be of political value and (2) the challenges that democracies face in producing them.","PeriodicalId":40011,"journal":{"name":"Philosophy Compass","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41988597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Teaching & Learning Guide for: Relational Approaches to Personal Autonomy","authors":"J. Y. Lee","doi":"10.1111/phc3.12943","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/phc3.12943","url":null,"abstract":"The concept of personal autonomy in contemporary moral and political philosophy is broadly associated with an agent's self-determining or self-governing capacities. However, scholars have long criticized the tendency in philosophy to idealize autonomy in an overtly atomistic and asocial manner, for example by assuming that autonomous individuals are totally independent decision-makers unaffected by interpersonal ties. Feminist philosophers especially have developed ‘relational’ approaches to autonomy in attempt to reconfigure this individualistic tradition in ways that are amenable to social considerations. Relational autonomy accounts are now known for espousing a more socially informed version of human agency. Such frameworks recognize that the very making of the autonomous self must involve some degree of socialization, for instance, or that certain subordinating social phenomena like oppression might problematically influence one's otherwise autonomous beliefs, preferences, and so forth. There remains much theoretical variation, however, in the range of relational accounts which have thus far been proposed. My Philosophy Compass article endeavours to highlight and organize some of the major points of disagreement between relational theories, covering distinctions commonly invoked in the debate. Despite the heterogeneity of relational autonomy theories, I also emphasize the ways that relational autonomy-theorizing makes for a challenging but valuable contribution to philosophy.
