8Hume, Morality, and SkepticismIn Paul Russell (ed.), The Oxford Handbook of David Hume, Oxford University Press. 2016.This paper defends Hume against contemporary attacks both on his theory of the explanation of action and on his “sentimentalist” account of the nature of morality.

8An Ethical DialogueThink 22 (64): 29-34. 2023.Since Plato philosophers have struggled to understand the nature of ethics. It seems different from understanding the world around us, which we do by means of our senses and our sciences. Like mathematics ethics seems different. My brief dialogue seeks to unravel its mystery, and may tell you all you need to know about it.
