    Varieties of Ecological Dialectics.Thomas W. Simon - 1990 - Environmental Ethics 12 (3):211-231.
    A hierarchical ordering of approaches afflicts environmental thinking. An ethics of individualism unjustly overrides social/political philosophy in environmental debates. Dialectics helps correct this imbalance. In dialectical fashion, a synthesis emerges between conflicting approaches to dialectics and to nature from: Marxism (Levins and Lewontin), anarchism (Bookchin), and Native Americanism (Black Elk). Conflicting (according to Marxists) and cooperative (according to anarchists) forces both operate in nature. Ethics (anarchist), political theory (Marxist), and spirituality (Native American) constitute the interconnected interpretative domains of a dialectically (...)

    A bayesian marriage of science and politics.Thomas W. Simon - 1981 - Synthese 46 (3):383 - 387.
    Some might say that there is a sense in which the very consideration of whether science is equated with rationality is obscene. For far too long science has been dealt with by philosophers within the confines of a protectionist, if not an apologist, policy. Putnam has provided a service by exposing some of the weaker links of the scientism mythology. I have tried to bolster that critique by indicating how, along Bayesian lines, value and holistic considerations could be used to (...)

    A Cybernetic Analysis of Goal-Directedness.Thomas W. Simon - 1976 - PSA: Proceedings of the Biennial Meeting of the Philosophy of Science Association 1976:56 - 67.
    The main aim of this paper is to demonstrate the viability and fruitfulness of employing a cybernetic formulation for analyzing many important facets of goal-directed activity, both non-purposeful and purposeful. Unsuccessful past attempts at this program are examined. A reformulation of the cybernetic analysis is proposed which avoids the pitfalls of these attempts by constructing evidentiary tests for rather than a behavioral definition of goal-directedness. This new formulation enables one to counter the most salient criticisms of a cybernetic analysis. A (...)

    Democracy and Social Injustice: Law, Politics, and Philosophy.Thomas W. Simon - 1995 - Rowman & Littlefield Publishers.
    In this truly interdisciplinary study that reflects the author's work in philosophy, political science, law, and policy studies, Thomas W. Simon argues that democratic theory must address the social injustices inflicted upon disadvantaged groups. By shifting theoretical sights from justice to injustice, Simon recasts the nature of democracy and provides a new perspective on social problems. He examines the causes and effects of injustice, victims' responses to injustice, and historical theories of disadvantage, revealing that those theories have important repercussions for (...)

    "Gute Policey": Ordnungsleitbilder und Zielvorstellungen politischen Handelns in der Frühen Neuzeit.Thomas Simon - 2004 - Verlag Vittorio Klostermann.
    Jede Zeit hat ihre eigene Vorstellung davon, nach welchen Grundsatzen ein Gemeinwesen verwaltet und auf welche Ziele dabei hingearbeitet werden sollte. In der Fruhen Neuzeit waren solche Leitbilder guter Verwaltung und Regierung unter dem Begriff der Guten Policey zusammengefasst. Die Lehre von der Guten Policey beinhaltete ein Ensemble von Strukturmerkmalen, die man fur ein wohlgeordnetes Gemeinwesen fur unerlasslich hielt. Daruber hinaus bot sie konkrete Anweisungen fur das Regierungs- und Verwaltungshandeln, mit denen man die Respublica an diese Strukturmerkmale heranfuhren konnte. Es (...)
