Philosophy and crisis : responding to challenges to ways of life in the contemporary world / edited by Golfo Maggini, Vasiliki P. Solomou-Papanikolaou, Helen Karabatzaki, Konstantinos D. Koskeridis ; with a Foreword by João J. Vila-Chã., 2017

I indicate two types of corruption: the formal and the informal, which indicate the material (=economic) and non material (=values) aspects of the crisis. Its emergence (from the part of the implicated persons and the public as something not only rational but as reasonable as well, drive the theoretical problematic to additional definitions in the fields of accountability, responsibility, legitimacy, and personal, political and professional ethics and morals. This pathology of the public life in total, fits well on the idea that there is an overriding concern in the satisfaction of the collective conscience at a level of publicity, where there are the proceedings of legitimacy, the guarantee of rule of order and the defuse of the public.
On the other hand, the activity and rhetoric from groups of interest indicate an aspect of particularism, that hits the arguments of public interest, legitimacy and rule of order in a liberal democracy. I suggest that, in most of the cases, it contributes to the construction of the informal conceptions of corruption, or a dormant aspect of it, since it arises on the threshold of corruption which may function as an “educational mean” or a “social example”.
I suggest that corruption in Greece stands as a peculiarity, due to its not only quantitative but many qualitative constituents as well. These preconditions drive us to the theoretical problematic that i indicate in my paper.

Διεξέρχομαι το ζήτημα υπό την οπτική διάγνωσης του τύπου επιτελικού κράτους που έχει συσταθεί και ως προς το κατά πόσον ανταποκρίνεται στη συνθετότητα που χαρακτηρίζει την επιτελικότητα. Επιζητέο της εργασίας μου είναι κατά πόσον το νέο επιτελικό κράτος τοποθετείται στα πλαίσια κριτηρίων που θέτω: διοικητική σκοπιμότητα, δημόσιο συμφέρον, δεοντολογία. Επίσης, ποια είναι η διαφαινόμενη πρακτική του, μέσω της εμπειρίας εφαρμογής.
Abstract: This paper is an approach of the subject about the strategic state, as it has been introduced by the provisions of the law 4622/2019 and it is structured in two sections: its’ rhetoric and the reality we face in the period that followed its publication in two fields of policy implementation that from my point of view I consider of particular importance. I explore the subject through the view about the form of established strategic state and whether in corresponds to the complexity of its characteristics. In my paper I question about the new strategic state on the basis of criteria I set: administrative necessity, public interest, deontology. Furthermore, what’s the apparent practice, after the experience of its implementation.

The detection of the subject is in parallel to the importance of his moral and political theory. For Aristotle, eudemonia consists in the ultimate stage of individual and collective existence and it constitutes a situation of peculiar multiplicity, because it is the epitome of moral and existential fulfillment for the individual and the society.

I suggest the understanding of leadership not only under its conventional concepts, but as the power of an individual to wield control and management within its own administrative circumstances. The pursuit of the moral preconditions drives us to respective arguments about the individual who is under the management of leadership. My intention is not to reply to the question whether a form of leadership could or should be virtuous, moral or ethical, but to point down the complexity of morality in the case of leadership and in the sense that we accept for a degree of morality to exist in a milieu of leadership. Under this, emerges the question about the degree of morality in each circumstance of leadership. A person who plays the role of a leader either is virtuous or not and he should be ethical within his milieu of action: however, it is under question the feasibility of virtue in leadership or the degree of it (the kind of virtue desirable at any circumstance). The present work, traces the moral issues in an aspect of business ethics, without assuming that they were a major theoretical objective by Aristotle. However, I am of the opinion, that his work may offer us a wide spectrum of problematic for the field of the kind.

I do not focus only in the Four Letters, but in his total work, to search for the tolerance as an attitude that concerns the broader society, where we interpret in a fundamental way the reason for all the actions and beliefs
that should be tolerated and accepted, not only within the narrow limits of religion. It is an aspect emerging from John Locke’s theory of knowledge in the Essay, where it is developed the theory about individual self-determination, responsibility, personal identity, the difference between knowledge and opinion, moral limitations, the certainty of knowledge, about truth, the circumstances of assent and consent, the conditions for social prosperity, etc. All these matters raise the question about the nature and the conditions of a liberal society, where toleration is of primary
importance for Locke’s social and political philosophy, presented in his other works. Toleration comes within the framework of Locke’s moral limitations, the demands
for the individual moral rectitude, it is always under the control of the experience and it is associated with the individual freedom and free will. It is a part of the system
of values that constitute individual autonomy and freedom, as necessary conditions for the liberal society, the issue at stake of the early modernity.
