15On the ethical life (edited book)Cambridge Scholars Press. 2009.The question of the ethical life is arguably one of the most compelling, and urgent, questions of our time. As Peter Singer, among others, has pointed out, almost 10 million children die each year due to poverty, some of whom would not die if the amount of aid that we now offer increases significantly. As Singer has also pointed out, the exploitation of human beings and other animals is a major ethical and practical concern. There can be little reasonable doubt that pain and suffering abound, in…Read more

Aristotle's Lantern: on Questioning and Perplexity (some reflections in the context of higher education in the 21st Century)Selected Papers From the Philosophy of Education Society of Great Britain Conference New College Oxford 2007. 2007.Though there is much interest nowadays in "aporias" there is relatively little research on the relation between these aporias and deconstruction, and further, between these two and the philosophy of education. First, it will be argued here that a sufficient understanding of the aporias must preserve the complexity of Aristotle’s own understanding and explications, or in other words, must avoid the reductive approaches one sometimes finds in some recent commentaries on studies of Aristotle’s apor…Read more

16These Ultimate Springs and Principles: Science, Religion and the Limits of ReasonForum Philosophicum: International Journal for Philosophy 15 (2): 317-334. 2010.The question of the limits of reason, not just within philosophy but also in the modern sciences, is arguably more important than ever given numerous recent commentaries on “life,” “reality,” meaning, purpose, pointlessness and so on, emanating not from philosophers or metaphysicians, but rather from physicists and biologists such as Steven Weinberg and Richard Dawkins. It will be argued that such commentaries concerning the “pointlessness” of the universe, or the purpose of “life,” and other su…Read more
