7Normative Objections to AtheismIn Graham Oppy (ed.), A Companion to Atheism and Philosophy, Blackwell. 2019.This chapter covers a number of arguments for belief in God (and thus against accepting atheism) that take as their starting points purported features of normativity. Most of the arguments considered are theoretical in nature, including an argument from a divine‐command theory of moral obligations, an argument from moral knowledge, and an argument from human dignity. In conclusion more practical arguments are considered, which hold that some moral end is undermined by an atheistic refusal of bel…Read more

2The Single Individual is Higher than the UniversalIn John Shand (ed.), A Companion to Nineteenth Century Philosophy (Blackwell Companions to Philosophy), Wiley-blackwell. 2019.Soren Kierkegaard (1813‐1855) is primarily known as a moral philosopher. This chapter looks at his contributions to ethics, and shows how Kierkegaard's writings can contribute to epistemology, metaphysics, and other areas of contemporary philosophy. In order to contextualize Kierkegaard's contributions to philosophy the chapter briefly surveys some of the ways Kierkegaard is connected to nineteenth‐century philosophers, as well as classical figures like Socrates. It considers Kierkegaard's contr…Read more

7Divine Commands as the Basis for Moral ObligationsIn Govert J. Buijs & Annette K. Mosher (eds.), The Future of Creation Order: Vol. 2, Order Among Humans: Humanities, Social Science and Normative Practices, Springer Verlag. pp. 115-133. 2018.This paper explains and defends a divine command account of moral obligations. A divine command account of moral obligations is distinguished from a general theological voluntarism which grounds all moral truth in the divine will. God’s commands ground moral duties, but truths about the good are grounded in the nature of God and God’s creation. Such an account does not see a divine command account as a rival to a natural law view of the good or as a rival to virtue ethics. The three types of acc…Read more

20Living Accountably: Accountability as a VirtueInternational Philosophical Quarterly 62 (1): 45-64. 2022.This paper tries to show that there is an important virtue that could be called “accountability.” This virtue is a trait of a person who embraces being held accountable and consistently displays excellence in relations in which the person is held accountable. After describing the virtue in more detail, including its motivational profile, some core features of this virtue are described. Empirical implications and an agenda for future research are briefly discussed. Possible objections to the virt…Read more

52Could a Divine-Command Theory of Moral Obligations Justify Horrible Acts? Some Kierkegaardian ReflectionsThe Monist 105 (3): 388-407. 2022.This paper considers whether a divine-command theory of moral obligation could justify morally horrible acts, partly by examining Kierkegaard’s writings. It argues that only the commands of a God who is essentially good could be morally justified, and thus no defensible version of a DCT could actually justify horrible acts. In Works of Love Kierkegaard defends such a DCT, and thus is committed to the claim that any actual commands of God must be aimed at the good. This is consistent with the cla…Read more

26Accountability and AutonomyPhilosophy, Psychiatry, and Psychology 29 (1): 69-71. 2022.Christian miller invites further clarification about the relationship between accountability and autonomy. Whereas embracing accountability to others for one’s responsibilities in those relationships emphasizes relationality, autonomy accents the individual’s own capacities to exhibit agency in enacting one’s decisions. Accordingly, we theorize that relational capacities for empathic concern and perspective-taking are especially important in the virtue of accountability. The capacity for self-re…Read more

405Revolutionary Neighbor-Love: Kierkegaard, Marx, and Social ReformInternational Journal on Humanistic Ideology 11 (1): 199-218. 2021.In this paper we compare Kierkegaard’s and Marx’s views on social reform. Then we argue that Kierkegaard’s own reasoning is consistent with the expression of neighbor-love through collective action, i.e. social reform. However, Kierkegaard’s approach to social reform would be vastly different than Marx’s. We end by reviewing several questions that Kierkegaardian social reformers would ask themselves. Our hope is that this exploration will provide helpful insights into how those who g…Read more

29Accountability and the Fear of the LordStudies in Christian Ethics 34 (3): 316-323. 2021.Why did the Biblical writers see the fear of the Lord as a virtue that is conducive to human flourishing? It is difficult for contemporary readers to understand how fear of anything can be virtuous. I propose that the fear of the Lord should be understood as accountability to God. I defend the claim that someone who displays excellence in an accountability relationship does display a virtue, and that this virtue is particularly valuable when exercised in relation to God. If we reject an individu…Read more
