The autonomy of the Swedish municipalit
John Rawls rättviseteori har tagit stor plats i den filosofiska argumentationen de senaste trettio åren. Den teori han presenterade i A Theory of Justice 1971, innebar ett brott mot den rådande moralfilosofiska diskussionen som var starkt utilitaristiskt präglad. Den allmänna uppfattningen var att utilitarismen helt enkelt måste vara den riktiga teorin, om man bara kunde komma ifrån de kontraintui

This essay focuses on the theory of classical realism from two points of views. Realism is often told to be quite immoral and cynical and only interested in the power relations among nations. In the first part I am arguing that this picture is wrong and should be revised. By using the ethical theories of deontology and utilitarianism I am arguing that both these perspectives can be used to analyse

Abstract Det finns skolor som anser att den japanska förhandlingskulturen och den kinesiska förhandlingskulturen är identiska med varandra.

Men det finns andra skolor som anser att det är fel. De kritiser
