Journal of Medicine and Philosophy, 1990
The authors use the term "principlism" to refer to the practice of using "principles" to replace both moral theory and particular moral rules and ideals in dealing with the moral problems that arise in medical practice. The authors argue that these "principles" do not function as claimed, and that their use is misleading both practically and ...

Principles: The Principles of Principles
The Pluralist, 2009In this article, I will argue for the actuality of principles. Principles are normative in that they regulate the relation of actuality and potentiality as well as operate across time, from the past and present to the future. They may also apply across space, that is, the same principle operates in different places in the same way, for example the laws

I wrote this paper in response to an invitation to participate in a conference, with the understanding that the paper was then to be published in an edited collection (subsequently entitled Morality, Moral Behavior and Moral Development) (Kurtines & Gewirtz, 1984).

The precautionary principle (PP), as it appears in international treaties or in some countries’ legal systems, suggests that the prospect of scientific progress should not justify the delay of preventive measures. Three effects identified in the economics literature – the irreversibility, the precautionary and the ambiguity aversion effects – may be ...

A principled evaluation for a principled idea garden
2015 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing (VL/HCC), 2015Many systems are designed to help novices who want to learn programming, but few support those who are not interested in learning (more) programming. This paper targets the subset of end-user programmers (EUPs) in this category. We present a set of principles on how to help EUPs like this learn just a little when they need to overcome a barrier.

When is Hamilton's Principle an Extremum Principle
AIAA Journal, 1974For a dynamic system, the action / for motion from time f0 to time t\ can be written as I = ^(T— V)dt, where T is the kinetic energy and V is the potential energy. In many references to Hamilton's principle, particularly in the engineering literature, it is stated or implied that the true motion of the system will give the action an extreme value ...

Is the precautionary principle a principle?
IEEE Technology and Society Magazine, 2002The article considers whether the precautionary principle is a principle. Truth in labeling is not the only motive behind asking this question. There is a tradition of principle-based decision making in the public health professions. Principles of ethics matter to epidemiologists and others who study disease causation in populations and recommend, even

The dominant motivational paradigm in embodied AI so far is based on the classical behaviorist approach of reward and punishment. The paper introduces a new principle based on ’flow theory’. This new, ‘autotelic’, principle proposes that agents can become self-motivated if their target is to balance challenges and skills.
