  • Social Responsibility and Ethics in STEM Education: The State of the Field
    with Quintin Kreth, Daniel S. Schiff, Jason Borenstein, and Ellen Zegura
    In E. Hildt, K. Laas, C. Miller & E. Brey (eds.), Building Inclusive Ethical Cultures in STEM, Springer Verlag. pp. 19-33. 2024.
    The relationship between ethics education and recent scholarship on social responsibility is crucial to explore. At times, ethics education has been designed to focus narrowly on compliance with rules and regulations. In contrast, other forms of ethics education emphasize direct attention to social responsibility and the types of obligations that future professionals have to society. In this chapter, we provide an overview of social responsibility, including some of its intellectual foundations,…Read more

    The mechanistic model depicts scientific explanations as involving the discovery of multi-level, organized components that constitute a target phenomenon. Meanwhile, sensorimotor enactivism purports to offer a scientifically informed account of perceptual experience as a skill-laden interactive relationship, constitutively involving both perceiver and world, rather than as an agent-bound representation of the world. Insofar as sensorimotor enactivism identifies an empirically tractable phenomeno…Read more

    This article examines preparatory labor practices that South Korean farmers had to undertake to use chemical fertilizers in the 1960s. Preparatory labor, such as learning about and acquiring fertilizers, that came prior to the use of chemical fertilizer in the field was mundane and often invisible. However, it was this logistical and emotional labor that was essential for the maintenance of South Korea’s chemical fertilizer system. In the system, which was part of the government’s efforts to est…Read more

    The potential of plant action potentials
    with Paco Calvo
    Synthese 202 (6): 1-30. 2023.
    The mechanism underlying action potentials is routinely used to explicate the mechanistic model of explanation in the philosophy of science. However, characterisations of action potentials often fixate on neurons, mentioning plant cells in passing or ignoring them entirely. The plant sciences are also prone to neglecting non-neuronal action potentials and their role in plant biology. This oversight is significant because plant action potentials bear instructive similarities to those generated by…Read more

    Preservation of NATP
    with Jinhoo Ahn, Joonhee Kim, and Hyoyoon Lee
    Journal of Mathematical Logic. forthcoming.
    We prove the preservation theorems for NATP; many of them extend the previously established preservation results for other model-theoretic tree properties. Using them, we also furnish proper examples of NATP theories which are simultaneously TP2 and SOP. First, we show that NATP is preserved by the parametrization and sum of the theories of Fraïssé limits of Fraïssé classes satisfying strong amalgamation property. Second, the preservation of NATP for two kinds of dense/co-dense expansions, i.e. …Read more

    How Does Taxation Affect Corporate Social Responsibility? Evidence from a Korean Tax Reform
    with Hyejin Park and Jewon Shin
    Journal of Business Ethics 1-30. forthcoming.
    We examine the effects of taxes on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Employing a tax reform in Korea that imposed a new tax on cash retention, we find that treated firms improved CSR performance after the tax reform was enacted. This result is driven by improvement in environmental and social performance. Moreover, the observed improvement is more pronounced in treated firms that face less severe financial constraints, are afforded fewer investment opportunities, feature large foreign owner…Read more

    This paper presents a rereading of David Little and Sumner Twiss's Comparative Religious Ethics in the context of its initial reception and legacy within the field of religious ethics and argues that we can read it more charitably as a piece of pragmatism rather than as a work of formalism or semi-formalism. If one does not read Little and Twiss as committed positivists concerned with realizing a specific research program associated with the “twilight of logical empiricism,” then their theoretic…Read more

    Ideological diversity, hostility, and discrimination in philosophy
    with Uwe Peters, Nathan Honeycutt, and Andreas De Block
    Philosophical Psychology 33 (4): 511-548. 2020.
    Members of the field of philosophy have, just as other people, political convictions or, as psychologists call them, ideologies. How are different ideologies distributed and perceived in the field? Using the familiar distinction between the political left and right, we surveyed an international sample of 794 subjects in philosophy. We found that survey participants clearly leaned left (75%), while right-leaning individuals (14%) and moderates (11%) were underrepresented. Moreover, and strikingly…Read more

    This article is to explore whether the achievement of moral character is the ultimate goal of higher education from a cross cultural approach. To discuss this study logically, three major research questions are addressed. First, what are the concepts of moral, ethics, and character? Second, what is the achievement of moral character from the Eastern and the Western perspectives? Third, what is the role of higher education for the achievement of moral character? To defend these research questions…Read more

    The Social Psychology of Morality (edited book)
    with Joseph P. Forgas and Paul A. M. Van Lange
    Psychology Press. 2016.
    Ever since Plato’s ‘Republic’ was written over two thousand years ago, one of the main concerns of social philosophy and later empirical social science was to understand the moral nature of human beings. The faculty to think and act in terms of overarching moral values is as much a defining hallmark of our species as is our intelligence, so _homo moralis_ is no less an appropriate term to describe humans as _homo sapiens_. This volume makes a case for the pivotal role of social psychology as the…Read more

    The Golden Rule, Humanity, and Equality: Shu and Ren in Confucius’ Teachings and Beyond
    Dao: A Journal of Comparative Philosophy 21 (3): 347-368. 2022.
    This essay explores the correlation between shu 恕 and ren 仁 in Confucius’ teachings and its broader implications concerning the role of the golden rule. It first shows that whereas the golden rule is premised on equality between agent and recipient, Confucius’ correlation of shu with ren aims mainly at establishing a more solid foundation for the hierarchy-specific duty of the ruler to care for the ruled. It thus reveals that this conflict arises from the golden rule’s incompatibility with asymm…Read more

    The Rhetoric Of Context
    Journal of Religious Ethics 41 (4): 555-584. 2013.
    This paper presents a critical appraisal of the recent turn in comparative religious ethics to virtue theory; it argues that the specific aspirations of virtue ethicists to make ethics more contextual, interdisciplinary, and practice-centered has in large measure failed to match the rhetoric. I suggest that the focus on the category of the human and practices associated with self-formation along with a methodology grounded in “analogical imagination” has actually poeticized the subject matter in…Read more

    The influence of media, positive perception, and identification on survey‐based measures of corruption
    with Heungsik Park
    Business Ethics: A European Review 26 (3): 312-320. 2017.
    This study examines the influence of some suspected sources of bias on perceptions of public sector corruption. These sources include dependence on two types of media as information sources about corruption: traditional and social media, positive perception of public employees, and social identification with public employees. Data were collected through a face-to-face survey of the general public in South Korea. The sample comprised 472 respondents evenly dispersed across the country. Through re…Read more

    Schizophrenia: Putting context in context
    with Sohee Park, Bradley Folley, and Jejoong Kim
    Behavioral and Brain Sciences 26 (1): 98-99. 2003.
    Although context-processing deficits may be core features of schizophrenia, context remains a poorly defined concept. To test Phillips & Silverstein's model, we need to operationalize context more precisely. We offer several useful ways of framing context and discuss enhancing or facilitating schizophrenic patients' performance under different contextual situations. Furthermore, creativity may be a byproduct of cognitive uncoordination.

    Laddered Motivations of External Whistleblowers: The Truth About Attributes, Consequences, and Values
    with Heungsik Park, Wim Vandekerckhove, and Joowon Jeong
    Journal of Business Ethics 165 (4): 565-578. 2020.
    The purpose of this study was to explore the motivational structures of external whistleblowers involved in the decision to blow the whistle by applying MEC theory and the laddering technique. Using both soft and hard laddering methods, data were collected from 37 Korean external whistleblowers. Results revealed that the means-end chain of external whistleblowers was the hierarchical linkage among two concrete attributes, two functional consequences, and one terminal value. The extant whistleblo…Read more
