    Upheavals of Thought
    Journal of Religious Ethics 31 (2): 325-341. 2001.
    In "Upheavals of Thought", Martha Nussbaum offers a theory of the emotions. She argues that emotions are best conceived as thoughts, and she argues that emotion-thoughts can make valuable contributions to the moral life. She develops extensive accounts of compassion and erotic love as thoughts that are of great moral import. This paper seeks to elucidate what it means, for Nussbaum, to say that emotions are forms of thought. It raises critical questions about her conception of the structure of e…Read more

    Widely hailed as one of the most significant works in modern political philosophy, John Rawls's _Political Liberalism_ defended a powerful vision of society that respects reasonable ways of life, both religious and secular. These core values have never been more critical as anxiety grows over political and religious difference and new restrictions are placed on peaceful protest and individual expression. In her introduction to the volume, Martha Nussbaum discusses the main themes of _Political L…Read more

    Higher education makes an important contribution to citizenship. In the United States, the required portion of the “liberal arts education” in colleges and universities can be reformed so as to equip students for the challenges of global citizenship. This chapter advocates focusing on three abilities: the Socratic ability to criticize one’s own traditions and to carry on an argument on terms of mutual respect for reason; the ability to think as a citizen of the whole world, not just some local r…Read more

    Patriotisme et cosmopolitisme
    Cahiers Philosophiques 1 99-110. 2012.
    L’article dont nous présentons ici la traduction fait partie des principaux textes qui ont, au début des années 1990, remis au goût du jour la perspective cosmopolitique. C’est ce caractère rénovateur qui motive notre choix de publication. Depuis la rédaction de cet article, Martha Nussbaum a régulièrement écrit sur la notion de cosmopolitisme et sur son articulation avec l’idée de patriotisme, précisant sa pensée sur ce point. Son article le plus récent sur cette question précise est « Toward a…Read more

    Libertarianism: For and Against
    Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. 2005.
    Libertarianism: For and Against offers dueling perspectives on the scope of legitimate government. Tibor R. Machan, a well-known libertarian philosopher, argues for a minimal government devoted solely to protecting individual rights to life, liberty, and property. Against this view, philosopher Craig Duncan defends democratic liberalism, which aims to ensure that all citizens have fair access to a life of dignity. In a dynamic exchange of arguments, the two philosophers cut to the heart of this …Read more

    Fatal Fictions: Crime and Investigation in Law and Literature (edited book)
    with Alison L. LaCroix and Richard H. McAdams
    Oxford University Press. 2016.
    Writers of fiction have always confronted topics of crime and punishment. This age-old fascination with crime on the part of both authors and readers is not surprising, given that criminal justice touches on so many political and psychological themes essential to literature, and comes equippedwith a trial process that contains its own dramatic structure. This volume explores this profound and enduring literary engagement with crime, investigation, and criminal justice. The collected essays explo…Read more

    Le premier fondateur
    Archives de Philosophie du Droit 52 299-316. 2009.
    Roger Williams est l’un des créateurs de la tradition constitutionnelle américaine. Il fournit les bases d’une politique fondée sur un égal respect des consciences et l’équité religieuse qui résonnent jusqu’à aujourd’hui. Derrière son importante réussite politique, il y a une pensée aussi riche sur ces questions que celle de John Locke et nettement plus pénétrante quant à la psychologie de la victime et de son tortionnaire. Elle tourne autour d’une idée sur laquelle Williams se concentre avec un…Read more
