“…Consequently, power is correlated with society mainly in the political and legal shell of the hypostasis, which can be explained by referring to the big and small sociality, which, according to Kalch embody the following: small sociality accumulates the experience of personal communication in natural everyday life, and large sociality is an experience focused on the normative behavior of an individual who gains stability through the awareness of belonging to a certain whole, associated with behavior in public (Kalch et al, 2021). The conclusion suggests itself that due to social burdening political and legal power becomes a coherent, organically linked with society, a regulator, claiming the status of working power.…”

“…law as a general measure of justice, expressed in a system of generally binding norms (rules) protected by public (state) power. This means bringing to the fore the problem of politics and law correlation, designating their regulatory specificity and fundamental purpose, which, in turn, creates an opportunity to designate new semantic accents in the interpretation of power (Kalch et al, 2021).…”

Politics and law as regulatory correlates of power

The current article attempts to denote the relationship between the regulatory purpose of politics and law, which form coherent power as a dialectical unity of political power interested in the legal legitimation of its status and legal power, appealing to the power represented by the state, on the one hand, and their denial of each other as the embodiment of the paradigms of efficiency (politics) and legitimation (law), on the other hand. To meet that aim, general scientific (dialectical, comparative, historical-genetic, structural-functional), and also specific scientific (specific-sociological, formal-logical, historical-legal, comparative jurisprudence) methods are taken into consideration. Given the results of the study, the efficiency paradigm is determined by the factor of result, and the legitimation paradigm is determined by the factor of process. The interaction of these paradigms gives rise to an antinomic contradiction, which is an attributive characteristic of the political and legal regulation of social processes.

“…This presupposition is, of course, false. One might agree with the fact that climate change is occurring, that humans are primarily responsible for it, and that it is a serious threat to the planet, and still oppose mitigation policies on a variety of grounds, including lack of concern about future generations, reservations about the economic effects of such policies, beliefs in humans' ability for innovation, responsibility attributions, lack of trust on institutions to bring about change, or worries about fairness (Drews and Van den Bergh 2016, Faure et al 2022, Armesto 2021, Jagers et al 2021, Kalch et al 2021, Bergquist et al 2022. Indeed, some recent evidence regarding people's attitudes about climate change show that majorities of citizens all over the world feel somewhat or very concerned about the harm they would personally face from climate change and consider climate change a serious threat (Statista 2021, Pew 2022).…”

On the Harms of Agnotological Practices and How to Address Them

Although science is our most reliable producer of knowledge, it can also be used to create ignorance, unjustified doubt, and misinformation. In doing so, agnotological practices result not only in epistemic harms but also in social ones. A way to prevent or minimize such harms is to impede these ignorance-producing practices. In this paper, I explore various challenges to such a proposal. I first argue that reliably identifying agnotological practices in a way that permits the prevention of relevant harms is more difficult than it might appear. I focus on an identifying criterion that many find apt for the task: bad faith motives. I then consider an objection --that reliable criteria are unnecessary to successfully address the concerns raised by agnotological strategies--and I show that it fails. I conclude by exploring other ways of conceptualizing the problems attributed to agnotological practices. In particular, I challenge the focus on misinformation as the main problem of concern.

Is personal income associated with attitudes towards climate change risk? A moderated mediation analysis for the UK from 2009 to 2020

This study investigates the effect of personal income on attitudes towards climate change risk, considering the mediator of responsibility attribution (RA) for climate change and the moderator of educational attainment. Using a latent growth curve model applied to data from the UK Household Longitudinal Study dataset from 2009 to 2020, this study indicated that personal income growth heightens the likelihood of expressing concern about climate change while reducing the propensity for holding sceptical or paradoxical attitudes over time. Attributing climate change to personal behaviour mediated the income‐attitude relationship. Significant differences in the mediation effect were observed between individuals who had received a university education and those who had not, even after controlling for covariates such as age, sex, political affiliation and employment status. These findings suggest that climate campaign emphasising RA can address attitude disparities across income and education strata, further promoting sustainable climate action and mitigation.
