31Russell's "Proof", AgainCanadian Journal of Philosophy 10 (4). 1980.Often Bertrand Russell defends his view that names differ from descriptions in that names have meaning but descriptions do not by using a “proof.” Recently in this journal it has been debated whether Russell's “proof” fails or not.

29Demagoguery, statesmanship, and the american presidencyCritical Review: A Journal of Politics and Society 19 (2-3): 257-298. 2007.Worries about “the rhetorical presidency” ultimately concern the danger of presidential demagoguery. As such, they echo an important theme of the Founders, who erected several barriers to the emergence of the president as demagogue in chief.

26Non-therapeutic penile circumcision of minors: current controversies in UK law and medical ethicsClinical Ethics 18 (1): 36-54. 2023.The current legal status and medical ethics of routine or religious penile circumcision of minors is a matter of ongoing controversy in many countries. We focus on the United Kingdom as an illustrative example, giving a detailed analysis of the most recent British Medical Association guidance from 2019. We argue that the guidance paints a confused and conflicting portrait of the law and ethics of the procedure in the UK context, reflecting deeper, unresolved moral and legal tensions surrounding …Read more
