8Ethical challenges for intervening in drug use: policy, research and treatment issues (edited book)OICJ. 2006.This volume was initiated to meet the challenges of the increasing contemporary trend to "treat" substance users (in the broadest sense of this concept), whether in institutional settings, ambulatory programs, or even controlled environments such as prisons. Although several essays concentrate more particularly on some of the ethico-moral problems encountered by juridico-moral interventions--problems relating to criminalization, decriminalization, legalization, and interdiction--the main focus i…Read more

13The Possibility of Altruism (review)Philosophical Studies (Dublin) 20 (n/a): 372-373. 1971.It is the old philosophical desire to provide compelling arguments for any man which lies at the heart of this book.

37Linguistics in Philosophy (review)Philosophical Studies (Dublin) 18 (3): 262-264. 1969.J L Austin has left a firm imprint on much contemporary philosophy.
