Abstract:

Religious convictions are not special when it comes to their 1) cultural trappings, 2) epistemic pedigree, or 3) epistemic status within the communities that hold them. This chapter defends the claim, however, that both religious and non-religious moral convictions are worthy of toleration and accommodation where possible, when they meet certain conditions. Many non-religious convictions are both deeply held and community-embedded, and although many religious convictions differ from many non-religious convictions regarding cultural trappings, epistemic pedigree, and epistemic status, the chapt

Drawing from Innocence Project and National Registry of Exoneration data and supplemented by social science and historical sources, the investigation explores various processes that led to wrongful conviction, distinguishing the differential risk of wrongful convictio

Abstract:

This book is an exploration of moral knowledge: its possibility, its sources, and its characteristic vulnerabilities. It addresses such questions as: what are the strengths and weaknesses of the method of reflective equilibrium as an account of how we should make up our minds about moral questions? What would count as evidence for or against a fundamental moral conviction? Are observation and testimony potential sources of moral knowledge? What, if anything, would be wrong with simply outsourcing your views about moral questions to a moral expert? How fragile is our knowledge of morality, comp

Abstract:

This chapter explores the concept of moral disability, identifying two types. The first type involves disabling conditions that distort one’s process of moral reflection. Examples include the incapacity to consider the long-term future, to feel empathy for others, and to be honest with oneself. A noteworthy example of self-deception is systematically denying one’s own—and humanity’s—vulnerability to the power of others, to accidents, and to having one’s well-being linked to that of others and the eco-system. Acknowledging vulnerability often requires a new sense of self. The second type includ

Abstract:

Does theological ethics articulate moral norms with the assistance of moral philosophy? Or does it leave that task to moral philosophy alone while it describes a distinctively Christian way of acting or form of life? These questions lie at the heart of theological ethics as a discipline. Karl Barth’s theological ethics makes a strong case for the first alternative. This book follows Barth’s efforts to present God’s grace as a moral norm in his treatments of divine commands, moral reasoning, responsibility, and agency. It shows how Barth’s conviction that grace is the norm of human action gener

Abstract:

This is a book on metaethics and moral epistemology. It asks two fundamental questions: (i) Is there any such thing as (non-relative) moral truth?; and (ii) If there is such truth, how do we come into epistemic contact with it? Roughly the first half of the book is aimed at answering the first question. Its animating idea is that we should take our ordinary, tutored moral judgments seriously—judgments typified by our conviction that it is clearly true that some acts, policies, social norms et al. are morally right or wrong, permissible or impermissible, praiseworthy or condemnable, etc., no ma

This chapter traces a Smithian sentiment in the radical division of the self dramatized in Rousseau’s fictional autobiographical Dialogues, emphasizing Rousseau’s attempt to liberate hi

In the 1920s the Watch and Ward Society suddenly and dramatically lost its role as custodian of morally acceptable literature. In the early 1920s the organization enjoyed a string of victories, including the disbarment of the Suffolk Country (Boston) district attorney. A series of controversies in the second half of the decade, however, led to its demise. These controversies began with the Watch and Ward Society’s arrest of H. L.

Abstract:

As quickly as an American, anti-racist consensus formed in the wake of George Floyd’s death, it seemed to evaporate under the pressures of a highly polarized political system. How do we escape the trap of polarization to reconstruct a consensus for meaningful action against racism? In this book, the lessons of history, problems understanding modern racism, and American political parties’ approaches to racism are analyzed from a person-centered, psychological perspective. The author prioritizes arguments and research findings that emphasize humanity and carry “moral weight:” the perspective mus

Abstract:

This chapter considers in greater detail the personal disruption central to the New Testament accounts of Christian cognitive identity. It focuses on the authors’ conviction that they participate in a new eschatological reality that is centred on the revelation of God in Jesus Christ. This conviction acknowledges the necessary limits of the human potential to know God apart from his own deliberate and concrete self-disclosure in the person of Jesus. Such limits involve both earthly finitude and the distortive power of sin. The chapter involves a particularly close engagement with scholarship o

Abstract:

The Epicurean moral tenets concern living, loving, and dying. Their recommendations reflect the conviction that although pain and pleasure can be felt as either ‘psychological’ or ‘physical’, the mind is inseparable from the body, and ‘all good and bad consists in sense-experience’. The material nature of the body and mind makes suffering and death inevitable and the latter final and incontrovertible. Self-denial has no ethical importance for the Epicurean except as a means of preventing pain. ‘Epicurean ethics’ assesses Epicurean moral philosophy by considering desire and disappointment, the

Over the past two decades, a growing number of Christians in England have gone to court to enforce their right to religious liberty. Funded by conservative lobby groups and influenced by the legal strategies of their American peers, these claimants — registrars who conscientiously object to performing the marriages of same-sex couples, say, or employees asking for exceptions to uniform policies that forbid visible crucifixes — highlight the uneasy truce between law and religion in a country that maintains an established Church but is wary of public displays of religious conviction.

Abstract:

Late antique philosophers contributed remarkable defenses of benevolence toward animals. The two most notable examples of this are Plutarch and Porphyry, who argued that animals should not be killed and eaten. This chapter argues that these philosophers were motivated not so much by a feeling of moral sympathy toward animals as by the conviction that eating meat is bad for humans. Since the consumption of meat ties the soul to the body by providing pleasure, it is to be avoided by the philosopher. Thus the vegetarianism of these late ancient Platonists echoes concerns about embodiment already

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was committed to the idea of a universal rule of law that governed sovereign powers, and he argued that European rulers should learn from Chinese moral and political philosophy and from the Chinese emperor, who was in his view more successful in being the moral and responsible political ruler that the law required. Leibniz’s universal rule of law is an ideal for a pluralist world. China and Europe were different yet equal and they needed each other to critically assess and perfect themselves and humanity as a whole. Leibniz’s interest in Chinese moral and political th

An argument is made that future researchers should abandoned the quest for evidence whether public opinion expression is guided by perceptions of the opinion climate, especially using ad hoc measures that have not been validated.

Abstract:

Orwell had mixed views on happiness. He cast it as the fundamental goal of socialism, but he also denied that socialism had anything to do with happiness. This chapter studies the grounds for such ambivalence. The misgivings stemmed in part from the basic psychology of happiness—in Orwell’s mind, at least, it often appeared to be too subjective, too ephemeral, and too contingent to serve as a viable public end. He believed, moreover, that its pursuit was self-undermining: the best means of eroding happiness was to make it the be-all and end-all of everything. Orwell also worried that happiness

Abstract:

The requirement of legitimate authority—according to which ‘the right of initiating war in a state lies with the sovereign’—was originally introduced in the writings of Augustine, Aquinas, and Pufendorf. This chapter offers a detailed account of the Requirement as it should be understood and an articulation of the moral conviction that underlies it. The chapter then defends the Requirement by addressing the main objection to it: wars are just in virtue of their intrinsic features; it does not matter who fights them. In response to this objection, this chapter shows that Joseph Raz’s ‘normal ju

The justification of the parent-child relationship that lies at the core of the family raises two main challenges for liberal egalitarianism: the challenge of authority and the challenge of partiality. These point, respectively, to the burdens of justifying to children their parents’ having rights over them, and to third parties parents’ favoring of their children in ways that negatively affects others. This paper examines some recent attempts at justifying the family and meeting these two challenges by appealing to the non-instrumental value of the parent-child relationship. It argues that th

Every version of the argument from evil requires a premise concerning God’s motivation—about the actions that God is motivated to perform or the states of affairs that God is motivated to bring about.

The aim of this book is to challenge this understanding by giving arguments against this view of God as morally perfect and by offering an alternative accoun
