Illuminating Light

Discussions of closely associated notions of practical necessity, volitional necessity, and moral incapacity have profited from a focus on cases of agential crisis to further our understanding of how features of an agent’s character might bind her. This paper turns to agents in crises in order to connect this way of being bound to the phenomenon of moral heroism. The connection is fruitful in both directions. Importing practical necessity into examinations of moral heroism can explain the special sense of bindingness moral heroes frequently express while preserving the status of heroic acts as supererogatory. It also helps explain how heroes persevere and act as so few others do. On the other hand, the context of moral heroism allows a fuller development of some features of the concept of practical necessity, shedding more illuminating light on the roots of practical necessity in character through recent findings in the psychology of moral exemplars.

Dignified Life

Abstract Kant introduces a duty to oneself to respect oneself and to avoid servility – or not to make oneself a worm. I argue for a wider understanding of this duty: Persons ought to respect their own dignity as persons with autonomy, rationality, and morality (A), but also as personalities, who embody dignity and live a dignified life (B). A corresponds to Kant’s concept of duty as the necessity of an action done out of respect for the moral law, B is an obligation arising from the practical necessity that follows from one’s self-understanding as an individual personality in a socio-cultural context. A and B relate to two types of dignity that are discussed in current debates. I argue that both types of dignity are equally relevant for understanding and respecting one’s own dignity. Finally I discuss why, even though persons can behave like worms, others ought not to step on them.

Objective Basis

Tacit contracts are contracts that are inferred from the conduct of the parties as opposed to written or verbal agreements embodying coinciding expressions of intention. Positive law reveals that the basis of, and especially the test for inferring such contracts, are a source of contention. Generally over the years the courts have fluctuated between subjective and objective approaches to contractual liability and this dichotomy is evident on the level of tacit contracts as well. In this article it is suggested that conflicting rationales and tests for tacit contracts simply cannot coherently co-exist in positive law and although subjective intention does indirectly influence the issue of contractual liability, when the existence of any contract – especially a tacit one – is contested on the basis of dissensus, a court of practical necessity will have to adjudicate the matter on an objective basis. In this regard the conduct of the parties in performing or preparing to perform in terms of the alleged agreement tends to play a prominent role. In the result it is more plausible and indeed preferable that objective criteria are employed by the courts to ascertain whether a tacit contract has arisen, a process which also leaves room for policy considerations to play a role.

The article discusses complexity of syncretic-character relationships between the constituents of noun phrases with prepositional postmodification in Russian language, considering their contradictory interpretations in Russian grammar guides’ analysis when applied in Russian-as-a-foreign-language teaching. The experience with beginners and pre-intermediate learners of different ages indicates the practical necessity of analyzing such units regarding their multi-aspect syntactic potential, which is often incompletely treated by contemporary linguistic theory instructions.

Practical Necessity

The issue addressed in this article is whether and to what extent the gravity thres-hold in the Rome Statute serves its purpose in determining case admissibility to the ICC. To answer this question, the article analyses the problems and pitfalls inherent in the concept and drafting of the threshold. These problems include, (1) the lack of a definition for the term ‘gravity’ and the difficulty of drafting a definition, (2) the problems associated with using the threshold as a justification for choosing some cases over others, (3) the overlap with the ICC’S subject matter jurisdiction and (4) the loose justiciability of the Prosecutor’s discretion in case selection.

Historical Necessity

Hobbes attempts to show that practical necessity and human nature are related in such a way that colonization is unavoidable by virtue of its naturalness. Colonization is practically and historically necessary because unavoidable constraints generated by human nature combine with material and social factors to produce certain inevitable outcomes. Hobbes’s account of colonization can also be understood in terms of his negative idea of freedom. Hobbes fails, however, to provide a sufficient explanation of one aspect of modern colonialism, namely, the existence of national liberation movements, while the role of the sovereign implies a different idea of freedom to Hobbes’s purely negative one. This makes colonization appear less natural and necessary than he suggests. Finally, I explore the implications of Hobbes’s account of the causes of colonization in connection with the possibility of a ‘science’ of history and the idea of historical necessity.
