Kant on International Relations
The Journal of Ethics - Tập 11 - Trang 147-159 - 2007
This paper explores some of the problems which arise from Immanuel Kant’s
commitment to both human rights and the rights of states. Michael Doyle believed
it was contradictory for Kant to defend both human rights and non-intervention
by states in the affairs of other states, but I argue that for Kant there was no
such contradiction, and I explore Kant’s claim that the state is “a moral
personality...
Moral Responsibility, Manipulation Arguments, and History: Assessing the Resilience of Nonhistorical Compatibilism
The Journal of Ethics - Tập 16 - Trang 145-174 - 2012
Manipulation arguments for incompatibilism all build upon some example or other
in which an agent is covertly manipulated into acquiring a psychic structure on
the basis of which she performs an action. The featured agent, it is alleged, is
manipulated into satisfying conditions compatibilists would take to be
sufficient for acting freely. Such an example used in the context of an argument
for inc...
Invertebrate Minds: A Challenge for Ethical Theory
The Journal of Ethics - Tập 11 - Trang 275-297 - 2007
This paper argues that navigating insects and spiders possess a degree of
mindedness that makes them appropriate (in the sense of “possible”) objects of
sympathy and moral concern. For the evidence suggests that many invertebrates
possess a belief-desire-planning psychology that is in basic respects similar to
our own. The challenge for ethical theory is find some principled way of
demonstrating t...
Tragic Dilemmas and the Priority of the Moral
The Journal of Ethics - Tập 4 - Trang 191-209 - 2000
My purpose in this paper is to argue that we are not vulnerableto inescapable
wrongdoing occasioned by tragic dilemmas. I directmy argument to those who are
most inclined to accept tragicdilemmas: those of broadly Nietzschean inclination
who reject``modern moral philosophy'' in favor of the ethical ideas of
theclassical Greeks. Two important features of their project are todeny the
usefulness of t...
The Robustness Requirement on Alternative Possibilities
The Journal of Ethics - Tập 26 - Trang 481-499 - 2022
In a series of recent papers, Justin Capes and Philip Swenson (together) and
Michael Robinson (independently) have proposed new versions of the flickers of
freedom reply to Frankfurt-style cases (FSCs). Both proposals claim, first, that
what agents in FSCs are morally responsible for is performing a certain action
on their own, and, second, that agents in FSCs retain robust alternative
possibiliti...
Aristotle on Corrective Justice
The Journal of Ethics - Tập 18 - Trang 187-205 - 2014
This paper argues against the view favored by many contemporary scholars that
corrective justice in the Nicomachean Ethics is essentially compensatory and in
favor of a bifunctional account according to which corrective justice aims at
equalizing inequalities of both goods and evils resulting from various
interactions between persons. Not only does the account defended in this paper
better explain...
Dirty Virtue
The Journal of Ethics - Tập 27 - Trang 515-537 - 2023
Michael Walzer’s foundational essay on dirty hands raises the very possibility
of a good person in politics. Dilemmas in the context of high stakes situations
sometimes require politicians to compromise their morality and character for the
sake of the greater good by choosing the lesser evil. Much has been written
about dirty hands, but little has been said about Walzer’s implicit virtue
ethics. T...
On Being Responsible and Holding Responsible
The Journal of Ethics - Tập 11 - Trang 465-484 - 2007
A number of philosophers have recently argued that we should interpret the
debate over moral responsibility as a debate over the conditions under which it
would be “fair” to blame a person for her attitudes or conduct. What is
distinctive about these accounts is that they begin with the stance of the moral
judge, rather than that of the agent who is judged, and make attributions of
responsibility ...
