11The Power of PhilosophyIn Graham Hubbs, Michael O'Rourke & Steven Hecht Orzack (eds.), The Toolbox Dialogue Initiative: The Power of Cross-Disciplinary Practice, . pp. 82-93. 2020.There is no shortage of scientists who are skeptical of the power of philosophy. Philosophers themselves have had similar reservations about philosophy, at least as it is typically studied and taught in universities. It can be easy enough to feel the force of these complaints, as it is not uncommon for academic philosophers to lose the forest for the trees. It doesn’t have to be this way. Philosophers can be better at explaining how their abstract theorizing bears on concrete problems, and they …Read more

41The Production and Reinforcement of Ignorance in Collaborative Interdisciplinary ResearchSocial Epistemology 30 (5-6): 643-664. 2016.One way to articulate the promise of interdisciplinary research is in terms of the relationship between knowledge and ignorance. Disciplinary research yields deep knowledge of a circumscribed range of issues, but remains ignorant of those issues that stretch outside its purview. Because complex problems such as climate change do not respect disciplinary boundaries, disciplinary research responses to such problems are limited and partial. Interdisciplinary research responses, by contrast, integra…Read more

32A critical analysis of the relationship between southern non-government organizations and northern non-government organizations in BoliviaJournal of Global Ethics 6 (1): 45-56. 2010.This article examines the relationship between southern non-government organizations (SNGOs) and northern non-government organizations (NNGOs) in Bolivia. The term 'partnership' for many years now has been a buzzword within the development debate, particularly in reference to the relationship between SNGOs and NNGOs. The term is ubiquitous in development literature in the North but is invariably absent from similar literature in the South. According to Fowler (1992. Building partnerships between…Read more

36The need for an effective development ethicsJournal of Global Ethics 10 (3): 297-303. 2014.Development is entrenched within a Western, hegemonic framework. This can lead one to wonder if development ethics is, in fact, possible. Too many decisions are made and too many policies dominate an international development agenda that are guided by economic forces and national self-interests. Although development ethics has attempted to break through this situation, it has not had the impact that is needed. The current practice of ethics in development is too weak to have the impact needed to…Read more

193The Urgency of the Greening of EthicsAustralasian Journal of Logic 15 (2): 592-608. 2018.Richard Sylvan, a vanguard in the field of environmental philosophy published a book in 1994 with David Bennett titled The Greening of Ethics. Nearly twenty-five years later, where the environmental situation of our world is even more serious, and where some governments deny the existence and negative effects of human caused climate change, the greening of ethics is even more urgent. In this paper, I revisit Sylvan’s and Bennett’s work arguing that their approach to environmental ethics should b…Read more
