24Danish Ethical Demands and French Common Goods: Two Moral PhilosophiesEuropean Journal of Philosophy 18 (1): 1-16. 2010.Abstract:Is Knud Eiler Løgstrup's conception of the ethical demand as deeply incompatible with the central theses of 20th century French Thomistic moral philosophy as it seems to be? Discussion of this question requires attention to both the Lutheran and the phenomenological background of Løgstrup's thought; a consideration of the Danish and French social contexts in which the claims of the two moral philosophies were developed; and an enquiry into how far aspects of each are complementary to ra…Read more

103Hard Truths, Soft Lies, Solitary Thoughts (review)Analysis 71 (2): 333-341. 2011.Hard Truths is an important book in its own right. It is also the latest contribution to a complex and impressive project that Elijah Milligram has been developing from his first book onwards. There he characterized practical induction as a type of reasoning that enables agents to learn from experiences of the new and the unfamiliar, agents whose inferences are from beliefs that they have formed either ‘in ways that have a suitable amount to do with [their] truth’, or, when ‘the appeal to truth …Read more

24First principles, final ends, and contemporary philosophical issuesMarquette University Press. 1990.Presents MacIntyre's most explicit defense of his approach to Thomistic metaphysics.

291Pluralism and the Moral MindThe Proceedings of the Twentieth World Congress of Philosophy 1 9-18. 1999.Cultural pluralism has caused disturbing problems for philosophers in applied ethics. If moral sanctions, theories, and applications are culturally bound, then moral conflicts ensuing from cultural differences would seem to be irresolvable. Even human nature, good or evil, is not free from cultural determination. One way out of this pluralistic impasse is the expansion of the moral mind. It is the outlet taken by religion, the arts, and philosophy from the earliest time in human culture. In phil…Read more

229A mistake about causality in social scienceRussian Sociological Review 12 (1): 139-157. 2013.The article considers the problem of actions–beliefs link. As author shows, the widespread approach in social science, those origins can be traced back to Hume and Mill and which tries to reveal the causal relations between beliefs and actions, is mistaken. It is mistaken because it proposes that, firstly, beliefs and actions are distinct and separately identifiable social phenomena and, secondly, causal connection consists in constant conjunction. MacIntyre, instead, proposes, taking as a start…Read more
