Agency (philosophy)

Agency is a concept used in philosophy and sociology to refer to the capacity of an agent to act in a world.

The capacity to act does not at first imply a specific moral dimension to the ability to make the choice to act, therefore moral agency is a distinct concept. In sociology, an agent is an individual engaging with the social...

    Euroshiur: Prof. Yehoshua Liebermann

    COMPETITION IN BUSINESS - A JEWISH PERSPECTIVE. LECTURE HIGHLIGHTS: Competition is the engine that drives market forces and actions. Jewish law deals with two types of competiotion: Proce competiotion and market entry. Both types of competiotion represent an inherent conflict between the interest of inducing consumers' welfare through reduction of prices and/or enhancement of quantity or variety, vis-a-vis the social interest of protecting weak competitors from going out of business and becoming social welfare cases. It will be shown how Jewish law balances both interests against each other, in business environments that often discriminates agains Jews.
  • Morality, Ethics, and Philosophy

    Morality, Ethics, and Philosophy

    In its first, descriptive usage, morality means a code of conduct held to be authoritative in matters of right and wrong. Morals are created by and define society, philosophy, religion, or individual conscience. An example of the descriptive usage could be "common conceptions of morality have changed significantly over time." In its second, normative and universal sense, morality refers to an ideal code of conduct, one which would be espoused in preference to alternatives by all rational people, under specified conditions. In this "prescriptive" sense of morality as opposed to the above described "descriptive" sense, moral value judgments such as "murder is immoral" are made. To deny 'morality' in this sense is a position known as moral skepticism, in which the existence of objective moral "truths" is rejected.[1] In its third usage, 'morality' is synonymous with ethics, the systematic philosophical study of the moral domain.[2] Ethics seeks to address questions such as how a moral outcome can be achieved in a specific situation (applied ethics), how moral values should be determined (normative ethics), what morals people actually abide by (descriptive ethics), what the fundamental nature of ethics or morality is, including whether it has any objective justification (meta-ethics), and how moral capacity or moral agency develops and what its nature is (moral psychology).[3] In applied ethics, for example, the prohibition against taking human life is controversial with ...
