New Pitchforks and Furtive NatureIn Lisa Campo-Engelstein & Paul Burcher (eds.), Reproductive Ethics Ii: New Ideas and Innovations, Springer Verlag. pp. 113-123. 2018.“New ideas and innovations” are constituted in relation to the status quo: what had been new becomes old when something yet newer appears. This truism draws attention to the necessity of thinking about the new in relation to what came before. In reproductive ethics, this means, in part, that mitochondrial donation, for example, must be understood in reference to “old” IVF. It also means that we must understand this and every other technique for manipulating, facilitating, or preventing conceptio…Read more

Counting, One, and Being in Aristotle's MetaphysicsDissertation, Boston College. 1997.Aristotle's treatment of Parmenides in the beginning of Physics argues that it is impossible that being have one sense only, but leaves unstated the relation between one and being. The remainder of Physics A reveals that the practice of counting the principles involves a determination of what those principles are. The analysis of number that is incorporated into Aristotle's account of time in Physics $\Delta$ reveals that a multitude or magnitude can be counted to be a determinate number only by…Read more

1Pope Benedict XVI on Faith and ReasonNova et Vetera 7 625-652. 2009.In his Regensburg Lecture, Pope Benedict articulates the harmony of faith and reason by arguing against interpretations of faith that denies God’s reasonableness and against interpretations of rationality that denies faith’s reasonableness, Benedict articulates the harmony of faith and reason. This paper examines Benedict’s argument for this harmony and then turns to the encyclical Deus Caritas Est for illustrative examples of various kinds of harmonious co-operation between faith and reason.

14Friendship and Teaching Philosophy in Nicomachean Ethics IX.1Proceedings of the American Catholic Philosophical Association 87 271-283. 2013.In Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle discusses the relation between teachers and students during his treatment of “non-uniform friends.” These friends exchange goods differing in kind. Such friendships depend on the needs of the friends, and we are invited to ask whether some need induces a philosopher to teach a not-yet-philosophical student. In this paper I argue that the philosophical teacher does not approach his pupil out of need nor as he would approach a contemplative friend who is an equal. …Read more
