13War Emissions, Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine, and Just War TheoryInternational Journal of Applied Philosophy 37 (2): 97-113. 2023.The Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, has already caused large amounts of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and will continue to do so for manyyears after hostilities have ceased mainly because of the emissions linked to the rebuilding of destroyed or damaged housing, public buildings, infrastructure, factories, and the like. My aim in this paper is to discuss how in a time of climate emergency such emissions of war should impact the political morality of states initiating, continui…Read more

14Is Global Poverty a Moral Problem for Citizens of Affluent Societies?The Proceedings of the Twenty-First World Congress of Philosophy 1 229-234. 2007.The gap between the affluent and the global poor has increased during the past few decades, whether it is measured in terms of private consumption, income, or wealth. One would expect that severe poverty in a world of abundance would constitute a moral challenge to the affluent, but in fact it hardly seems a serious ethical concern. Affluent citizens seem so little morally concerned with global poverty. However, the most promising approach seems to be to explore and divulge factually and concept…Read more

23Cohens Sozialistische Rekonstruktion der Ethik Kants (includes English translation)In Helmut Holzhey (ed.), Ethischer Sozialismus: zur politischen Philosophie des Neukantianismus, Suhrkamp. pp. 146-165. 1994.The neo-Kantian Hermann Cohen famously wrote that Kant “is the true and real originator of German socialism.” This paper seeks to explicate Cohen’s socialist reconstruction of Kant’s ethics and show that this reconstruction overcomes some weaknesses of Kant’s ethics. In conclusion, the paper discusses the contemporary relevance of Cohen’s cooperative socialism

22Hermann Cohen’s Political Philosophy and the Communitarian Critique of Liberalism (includes French translation)Cahiers de Philosophie Politique Et Juridique, University of Caen 26 93-118. 1994.My main aim here is to examine what the significance is of the communitarian critique of liberalism for Hermann Cohen's political philosophy. I will conclude that Cohen's socialist Kantianism can successfully meet this critique. Also, I will argue that his political philosophy can better deal with some of the problems that communitarians detect in our Western democracies than can communitarianism itself. One crucial reason for this is that Cohen completes the original Kantian liberal project by …Read more

8Review of Kenneth Baynes, The Normative Grounds of Social Criticism: Kant, Rawls, and Habermas (review)Kant Studien 86. 1995.Baynes's two main objectives are to show that Kant, Rawls, and Habermas share the view that "the idea of an agreement among free and equal persons [i. e., autonomous persons]... constitutes the normative ground of social criticism", and that this "constructivist" view is more adequately developed and defended with each successive theorist. The study, however, goes beyond these aims and can often fruitfully be read as a comparative study of Rawls and Habermas

4On the same day, 23 September 2003, that President George W. Bush defended his Iraq policy to the General Assembly of the United Nations, Secretary-General Kofi Annan also spoke to the Assembly. Annan reiterated his opposition to the view that states may independently be justified in using military force “preemptively” to avoid the dangers posed by the spread of weapons of mass destruction among states and terrorists, including nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons
