18The Auteur Theory in the Age of the Mini-SeriesIn Noël Carroll, Laura T. Di Summa & Shawn Loht (eds.), The Palgrave Handbook of the Philosophy of Film and Motion Pictures, Springer. pp. 543-549. 2019.Dominant in mid-century, the auteur theory of cinema elevated the director of a film to a position of artistic eminence. The theory was eroded by theoretical attacks and by the rise of big-budget computer-driven action films. This chapter explores the further decline in the auteur theory wrought by the contemporary rise of the television mini-series. Various twenty-first-century mini-series have been critically acclaimed, but in most cases, these mini-series have multiple directors. There remain…Read more

53Giotto in Padua: A New Geography of the Human SoulThe Journal of Ethics 9 (3-4): 551-572. 2005.In the Arena Chapel in Padua, Giotto painted seven allegorical representations of virtues and seven allegorical representations of vices. This article probes the sources for the list of virtues and the list of vices. The ensemble of virtues can be located in St. Thomas Aquinas; the ensemble of the vices, however, is original. The result is a new account of vices that displaces the odler account of the “seven deadly sins.”.

15Divine Omniscience and Human PrivacyPhilosophy Research Archives 10 383-391. 1984.This paper argues that there is a conflict between divine omniscience and the human right to privacy.
