    Review: Responses (review)
    Philosophy and Phenomenological Research 68 (2). 2004.
    I am extremely grateful to these three fine philosophers for spending time on my arguments and for the valuable questions they pose. I feel that I am very lucky to have commentators whose views and writings on this topic I admire, and with whose ideas I have engaged before with pleasure and profit.

    Review: Précis of "Upheavals of Thought" (review)
    Philosophy and Phenomenological Research 68 (2). 2004.
    Emotions shape the landscape of our mental and social lives. Like the “geological upheavals” a traveler might discover in a landscape where recently only a flat plane could be seen, they mark our lives as uneven, uncertain, and prone to reversal. Why and how? Is it because emotions are animal energies or impulses that have no connection with our thoughts, imaginings, and appraisals? In the passage from which my title is taken, Proust denies this, calling the emotions “geological upheavals of tho…Read more

    Rawls's Political Liberalism. A Reassessment
    Ratio Juris 24 (1): 1-24. 2011.
    Since Rawls's Political Liberalism is by now the subject of a wide and deep philosophical literature, much of it excellent in quality, it would be foolhardy to attempt to say something about each of the major issues of the work, or to sort through debates that can easily be located elsewhere. I have therefore decided to focus on a small number of issues where there is at least some chance that a fresh approach may yield some new understanding of the text: Rawls's distinction between “reasonable”…Read more

    Four Paradigms of Philosophical Politics
    The Monist 83 (4): 465-490. 2000.
    “It is no chance matter we are discussing,” said Plato’s Socrates, “but how one should live.” All the major ancient Greek and Roman traditions of philosophy held that it was no mere academic discipline, but an art of living, a study whose aim included the improvement of conduct. All held, in addition, that philosophy, properly practiced and properly integrated into the public life of a community, would improve the practice of political life. That public role was not the only role they saw for ph…Read more

    The capabilities of people with cognitive disabilities
    Metaphilosophy 40 (3-4): 331-351. 2009.
    People with cognitive disabilities are equal citizens, and law ought to show respect for them as full equals. To do so, law must provide such people with equal entitlements to medical care, housing, and other economic needs. But law must also go further, providing people with disabilities truly equal access to education, even when that is costly and involves considerable change in current methods of instruction. The central theme of this essay is what is required in order to give such people pol…Read more
