“…It is composed of values such as "justice", "freedom", "equality", and it is human assembly which determines the scope of these notions, their hierarchy and the dynamic balance between them. (Danblon, 2002), (Dupréel, 1948) Following this, what is at stake with these values is decision-making. Rather than a clarified meaning, these notions demand an efficient method to be adjusted.…”

“…Even if defined finely, the notions can indeed always lead to incompatibilities or conflicts once faced with a particular case. In contrast, in this situation, the technique of the dissociation of notions proves to be an efficient tool (Gross & Dearin, 2002), (Danblon, 2002). This technique consists in dividing a single notion into two separate notions which are, in most cases, the object and its exception (Van Rees, 2008).…”

Globally, robots can be described as some sets of moving parts that are dedicated to a task while using their own energy. Yet, humans commonly qualify those machines as being intelligent, autonomous or being able to learn, know, feel, make decisions, etc. Is it merely a way of talking or does it mean that robots could eventually be more than a complex set of moving parts? On the one hand, the language of robotics allows multiple interpretations (leading sometimes to misreading or confusion in various contexts). On the other hand, the status of robots is challenged more and more by technical achievements and humans’ own empirical beliefs. In this paper, we follow a linguistic approach in order to explore the relevance of these words when talking about robots. Since we note that the words impose themselves (even if opposed), we discuss the efficiency of a rhetorical strategy in order to work with such a lexicon in robotics. More precisely, we explore the argumentative technique of the dissociation of notions through the study of a practical case: the case of robot lawn mowers versus hedgehogs.

“…He chronicled them in his newspaper so that his horrified readers should be convinced of the necessity of action. Between the ‘art of proof’ and the ‘art of persuasion’ (Danblon 2010: 213), Garrison’s rhetoric oscillated between demonstration based on reason and the expression of millenarian terror, pointing up the political utility of the slave revolt. Undeniably, their uprising was opportune for the editorials of The Liberator .…”

Is Violence Sometimes a Legitimate Right? An African-American Dilemma

The contrast, often painted in simplistic colours, between Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X as civil rights campaigners bolsters an erroneous reading of the freedom struggle of African-Americans, leaving the impression that the resort to violence and self-defence propounded by Malcolm X was a purely circumstantial departure from the general strategy of the civil rights movement. In fact, both of them reflected long on the capacity of violence and a contrario of non-violence to bring about political and social transformation in the context of the extreme brutality and oppression being suffered by African-Americans. Their dilemma stemmed from an old intellectual tradition of the America of the slave period. Well before the ideas of Gandhi won over the African-American elite, and even before Henry David Thoreau laid the theoretical basis for civil disobedience, African slaves gave thought to the legitimacy and effectiveness of violence to amend their situation. The importance of the non-violent movement in the United States and the historical significance of Martin Luther King cannot be understood unless a true measure is taken of the anti-slavery struggle. While within the religious domain, the Black Church played a major role in dissuading violence, secular thought in favour of legitimate forceful rebellion also found itself confronted by a counter-argument which advanced the power of social change and resistance to injustice that non-violence could effect. This article particularly addresses the challenges to their consciences that confronted the militants of non-violence in their campaign for the abolition of slavery and notably those facing the central figure of that struggle, the former slave become the apostle of liberation, Frederick Douglass. The contrast, often painted in simplistic colours, between Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X as civil rights campaigners bolsters an erroneous reading of the freedom struggle of African-Americans, with the fame of the Nobel Peace Laureate in effect leaving the impression that the
