48Confess Your Contradictions: Schelling, Royce, and the Art of AtonementJournal of Speculative Philosophy 26 (3): 516-530. 2012.Two of Josiah Royce's lectures in Lectures on Modern Idealism concern the work of F.

I suggest that Calkins's pacifistic proposal is an extension of that of her teacher—a feminist interpretation of his psychological and moral thought as broug…Read more

49Loyalty in the Teachings of Confucius and Josiah RoyceJournal of Chinese Philosophy 39 (2): 192-206. 2012.Loyalty is central to the philosophies of Confucius and Josiah Royce. In the case of Confucius, we see this significance in the emphasis placed in the Analects on zhong (“loyalty,” “other-regard,” or “dutifulness”) and xiao (“filial piety” or “filiality”). In the case of Royce, we see this significance in the emphasis placed on loyalty in The Philosophy of Loyalty. Moreover, in Confucius's and Royce's interactions with disciples and students, we witness appreciable loyalty, to their students and…Read more

40Sex and Selfhood: What Feminist Philosophy Can Learn from Recent Ethnography in Ho Chi Minh CityJournal of International Women's Studies 14 (3): 31-41. 2013.This article explores the connection of class dynamics to the moral agency of sex workers and their clients. It revisits the analyses of several contemporary feminist theorists, placing these analyses in dialogue with a recent ethnographic study of the sex work industry in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. In light of this comparative analysis, it is argued that accurate understanding and assessment of the moral agency of sex workers and their clients requires attunement to the complex and evolving cla…Read more
