10ImpartialityIn Alison M. Jaggar & Iris Marion Young (eds.), A companion to feminist philosophy, Blackwell. 1998.In modern Western philosophy, impartial reasoning has defined the moral point of view and determined the strategies of moral justification.

64Debate: Unequal Consenters and Political IllegitimacyJournal of Political Philosophy 21 (3): 347-360. 2013.Debates about how to incorporate the severely cognitively disabled into liberal theory typically focus on John Rawls’s assumption that citizens choosing the principles of justice should be understood as full social cooperators. In this paper, we argue that social cooperation is not the fundamental barrier to the inclusion of the severely cognitively disabled. We argue that these persons are excluded from the entire project of liberal legitimacy in virtue of the apparent inability of a severely c…Read more

25Feminist Ethics and Multicultural EducationHypatia 10 (2): 56-68. 1995.Feminist ethics supports the contemporary educational trend toward increased multiculturalism and a diminished emphasis on the Western canon. First, I outline a feminist ethical justification for this development. Second, I argue that Western canon studies should not be altogether abandoned in a multicultural curriculum. Third, I suggest that multicultural education should help combat oppression in addition to simply promoting awareness of diversity. Fourth, I caution against an arrogant moralis…Read more

Held's Experiential Method of Moral Inquiry: Some QuestionsPublic Affairs Quarterly 24 (3): 209-228. 2010.Virginia Held, in How Terrorism Is Wrong: Morality and Political Violence, proposes a method by which moral theories can be "tested" by moral experience. Building on her previous work, she considers here how to utilize this method in the moral assessment of terrorism. Held's method is morally pluralistic; it encompasses a variety of moral theories and principles, including care ethics. Held's evolving account of how to test moral theories in terms of real-world moral experience remains an import…Read more

69Going Nowhere: Nagel on Normative ObjectivityPhilosophy 65 (254): 501-509. 1990.InThe View from Nowhere, Thomas Nagel develops a theory of practical reasoning which attempts to give the personal, or subjective, point of view its due2 while still insisting on the objectivity of ethics.On the objective side, Nagel affirms that there are truths about values and reasons for action which are independent of the ways in which reasons and values appear to us, independent of our own particular beliefs and inclinations (p. 144). The objective foundation for these truths consists in a…Read more
