Equity in the justice system is a fundamental principle of law that seeks to ensure fair and impartial treatment for all individuals, regardless of their characteristics. The Ecuadorian justice ...system faces challenges regarding its equity and efficiency, including concerns about access to justice, impartiality in decision-making, corruption, and the lack of independence in the judicial system. Neutrosophy, as a philosophical theory that promotes neutrality and impartiality, is useful in the analysis of equity in the justice system. It helps identify systematic inequalities and discrimination in the justice system, which is essential for finding fair and equitable solutions. Evaluating equity in the Ecuadorian justice system involves considering multiple aspects and factors. Six study alternatives were identified and the most significant elements for the analysis of equity in the Ecuadorian justice system were analyzed using neutrosophic techniques. This contributes to improving equity in the justice system and ensuring fair and equitable treatment for all Ecuadorian citizens. Keywords: Equity, Law, justice system, neutrosophy, philosophical theory.
Taking stock of the DSF debate on value pluralism, this final contribution offers some (for now) concluding thoughts. It considers to which extent the original criticisms of the use of value ...pluralism by Spicer and Wagenaar can be maintained and which nuances should be added. Next, it discusses the use of philosophical concepts such as value pluralism for understanding administrative practice and developing administrative theory. It concludes this use can be considerable, provided such concepts are treated with sufficient carefulness.
Gregory Vlastos (1907-1991) was one of the twentieth century's most influential scholars of ancient philosophy. Over a span of more than fifty years, he published essays and book reviews that ...established his place as a leading authority on early Greek philosophy. The two volumes that comprise Studies in Greek Philosophy include nearly forty contributions by this acknowledged master of the philosophical essay. Many of these pieces are now considered to be classics in the field. Perhaps more than any other modern scholar, Gregory Vlastos was responsible for raising standards of research, analysis, and exposition in classical philosophy to new levels of excellence. His essays have served as paradigms of scholarship for several generations. Available for the first time in a comprehensive collection, these contributions reveal the author's ability to combine the skills of a philosopher, philologist, and historian of ideas in addressing some of the most difficult problems of ancient philosophy. Volume I collects Vlastos's essays on Presocratic philosophy. Wide-ranging concept studies link Greek science, religion, and politics with philosophy. Individual studies illuminate the thought of major philosophers such as Heraclitus, Parmenides, Anaxagoras, and Democritus. A magisterial series of studies on Zeno of Elea reveals the author's power in source criticism and logical analysis. Volume II contains essays on the thought of Socrates, Plato, and later thinkers and essays dealing with ethical, social, and political issues as well as metaphysics, science, and the foundations of mathematics.

This is the paperback edition of the first full study, translation, and critical annotation of the Essence of True Eloquence by Jey Tsong Khapa (1357-1419), universally acknowledged as the greatest ...Tibetan philosopher. Robert Thurman's translation and introduction present a strain of Indian Buddhist thought emphasizing the need for both critical reason and contemplative realization in the attainment of enlightenment. This book was originally published under the title Tsong Khapa's Speech of Gold in the "Essence of True Eloquence." ? "I am very happy that Tsong Khapa's masterpiece of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy has been translated into English, and can now be studied by Western philosophers and practitioners of Buddhism. It has long been one of my favorite works, and I hope that others will appreciate its deep thought and lucid insights as we have for centuries in Tibet."--From the foreword by the Dalai Lama
For me, personally, Wittgenstein’s philosophy poses the greatest challenge: if he is right, the sort of philosophy I am attempting to do is impossible. Wittgenstein argued powerfully that there can ...be no such thing as a general philosophical theory of language, mind, consciousness, society, and so on. I wanted and still do want to do precisely that: to present a general philosophical theory of language, mind, consciousness, society, and so on.
Purpose>The growth and development of positive psychology approaches in the areas of human resource management has created a successful conceptual basis in the psychology of business and jobs and has ...led to a tendency to apply knowledge and skills to job expectations in line with job expectations. That profession will grow, and this can also lead to the development of ethical practices. The purpose of this paper is the effect of self-fulfilling prophecy on developing auditors' ethical values.Design/methodology/approach>The target population of this study was auditors of auditing organizations and private sector audit firms that were selected through random sampling and evaluated over a period of 6 months. The research instrument was standard questionnaires, and partial least squares analysis was used to test and test the research hypotheses.Findings>The results of this study show that the effect of self-fulfilling prophecy on ethical virtue and ethical conscientiousness as two dimensions of auditors' ethical values has a positive and significant effect.Originality/value>This study explains how to clearly convey the social expectations of an auditor about value-based approaches in the audit profession, and it examines the role of these expectations in the professional performance of auditors. In fact, beliefs and expectations play a decisive role in improving auditors' level of value based on professional behavior, such as professional skepticism and objectivity, and this research can help increase the level of knowledge about this profession.
Social psychologists have recently begun to explore the problem of free-will beliefs. Philosophers have been working on the problem of free will over the ages, and studies of social psychologists on ...free-will beliefs are based on past philosophical theories. Meanwhile, philosophers not only argue over the theoretical issue of free will but also engage with the research program of experimental philosophy. This program shares the methodology of social psychology, and experimental investigation of belief in free will is proceeding at a rapid pace. In consideration of the above arguments, it seems obvious that social psychologists need to collaborate with philosophers on the problem of free-will beliefs. The authors therefore review the findings of each discipline and construct a model of people’s free-will beliefs. In this model, we consider free-will beliefs as composed by alternative possibility and agency, and these components function to promote attribution of moral responsibility, self-control, and social fit.
The growing literature on philosophical thought experiments has so far focused almost exclusively on the role of thought experiments in confirming or refuting philosophical hypotheses or theories. In ...this paper we draw attention to an additional and largely ignored role that thought experiments frequently play in our philosophical practice: some thought experiments do not merely serve as means for testing various philosophical hypotheses or theories, but also serve as facilitators for conceiving and articulating new ones. As we will put it, they serve as 'heuristics for theory discovery'. Our purpose in the paper is two-fold: (i) to make a case that this additional role of thought experiments deserves the attention of philosophers interested in the methodology of philosophy; (ii) to sketch a tentative taxonomy of a number of distinct ways in which philosophical thought experiments can aid (and historically have aided) theory discovery, which can guide future research on this role of thought experiments.
