20The Theory of Universal Human Rights: A Comment on TalbottHuman Rights Review 9 (2): 157-165. 2008.In this analysis of William Talbott’s important book, I note with appreciation his defense of universal moral principles and of moral justification as a “social project,” his focus on the critique of oppression, and his emphasis on empathic understanding in the account of human rights. I go on to develop some criticisms regarding: 1) Talbott’s traditional understanding of human rights as holding against governments and not also applying to nonstate actors; 2) his account of the interrelations am…Read more

19Self-development and self-management: A response to DoppeltInquiry: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Philosophy 27 (1-4). 1984.Doppelt criticizes my theory of freedom as self?development and the related model of workers? self?management which I propose. I argue that Doppelt ignores or misconstrues three major features of my view: (1) the systematic grounding of the conception of freedom in the nature of agency and the distinction I draw between abstract and concrete freedom; (2) my derivation of rights of self?management from the concept of freedom; (3) my argument for a universal right of employment. In general, Doppel…Read more

13Socializing the Means of Free DevelopmentPhilosophical Topics 48 (2): 81-103. 2020.This paper investigates the import for a conception of democratic socialism of Marx’s well-known principle “From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs,” arguing that it is best taken together with another of his principles: “The free development of each is the condition for the free development of all.” It considers their implications for the near term rather than some possible ultimate form of communal society, and also brings in a principle that I have developed p…Read more

11LBT, Socratic Intellectualism, and Self-KnowledgeInternational Journal of Philosophical Practice 8 (1): 45-52. 2022.This paper offers a genealogy of the ancient predecessors of Logic-Based Therapy. While LBT has an apparent affinity with Stoicism, I argue that LBT has a tripartite foundation in Socratic Rational Inquiry, Platonic philosophical psychology, and Aristotelean ethics. Secondly, I argue that LBT could help a client attain self-knowledge and “moral proprioception.” Given that LBT involves an examination of one’s belief system and a recognition of the subconscious faulty premises, it may implement a …Read more

11Autonomy, Gendered Subordination and Transcultural DialogueJournal of Global Ethics 3 (3): 335-357. 2007.This paper is a theoretical and empirical investigation into whether persons in subordinate social contexts possess agency and if they do, how do we recognise and recover their agency given the oppressive conditions of their lives. It aims to achieve this through forging closer links between the philosophical arguments and the ethnographic evidence of women's agency. Through such an exercise, this paper hopes to bridge the existing gap between feminist theoretical interventions and feminist poli…Read more

10Interactive Democracy: The Social Roots of Global JusticeCambridge University Press. 2014.How can we confront the problems of diminished democracy, pervasive economic inequality, and persistent global poverty?

9Global Democratic Transformation and the InternetSocial Philosophy Today 22 73-88. 2006.This paper begins with two cases pertaining to the internet in an effort to identify some of the difficult normative issues and some of the new directions in using the Internet to facilitate democratic participation, particularly in transnational contexts. Can the Internet be used in ways that advance democracy globally both within nation-states that lack it and in newly transnational ways? Can it contribute to strengthening not only democratic procedures of majority rule, periodic elections, an…Read more
