78Ruin, repair, and responsibilityInternational Journal of Philosophical Studies 10 (2). 2002.'Ruin, Repair, and Responsibility' explores and Arendtean conceptualization of the three and their interrelations.

314Politics and Prioritization of EvilHypatia 19 (4): 192-196. 2004.In this essay I question an assumption of Card's, which seems to place the ethical in a directive relationship with respect to the political. I call attention to the rupture between the two as a marker of modernity and suggest that the political is not only a sphere of power but also a value-sedimented field, with the values in question developing historically as in the case of liberal democracy.
