La paille et la poutre: notes sur l'éthique de la condamnation morale
Studia Philosophica 52 (n/a): 173-182. 1993.

We often have judgments of moral condemnation on our fellow men. When we take seriously our individual and collective experience of moral judgment, we realize, however, that, in order to be properly brought to bear, judgments of moral condemnation must satisfy certain standards that are most often implicit. These norms form what we will call an "ethics of moral condemnation". Once unveiled, these standards surprise us with their rigor.

Bergson, truth-making, and the retrograde movement of the true
Philosophical Papers Dedicated to Kevin Mulligan. 2011.

Henri Bergson (1859-1941) was one of the main exponents of evolutionary thinking in the later nineteenth and early twentieth century. He gave that kind of thinking an unprecedented metaphysical turn. In consequence of his versatility he also encountered the notion of truth-making, which he connected with his ever-present concerns about time and duration.

Henri Bergson (1859-1941) was one of the main exponents of evolutionary thinking in the later nineteenth and early twentieth century. He gave that kind of thinking an unprecedented metaphysical turn. In consequence of his versatility he also encountered the notion of truth-making, which he connected with his ever-present concerns about time and duration. Eager to stress the dimension of radical change and of novelty in the nature of things, he rejected (in one form) what he called “the retrograde movement of the true” while championing it – with undeniable delight in the air of paradox – in a derivative form. In the paper I explain what “the retrograde movement of the true” consists in – in its two forms.

R. H. Wettstein, Discours et véracité: Essai de philosophie transcendentale (review)
Kant Studien 78 (1): 106. 1987.

This book’s review discusses the reinterpretation of Kant’s transcendental philosophy offered by Ronald Harri Wettstein. In the wake of K.O. Apel and J. Habermas, Kant is interpreted in the light of J.L. Austin’s theory of speech acts. The most original part of the book is chapter 3, in which Wettstein offers an unkantian theory of permitted lie, to which belong diplomacy, politeness, and discretion.
