31The ethics of selectively marketing the health maintenance organizationTheoretical Medicine and Bioethics 11 (4). 1990.Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) administrators have been accused of engaging in selective marketing.

108Yearning for certainty and the critique of medicine as “science”Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics 30 (3): 215-229. 2009.A debate has simmered concerning the nature of clinical reasoning, especially diagnostic reasoning: Is it a “science” or an “art”? The trend since the seventeenth century has been to regard medical reasoning as scientific reasoning, and the most advanced clinical reasoning is the most scientific. However, in recent years, several scholars have argued that clinical reasoning is clearly not “science” reasoning, but is in fact a species of narratival or hermeneutical reasoning.

73An Essay on the Nature and Conduct of the Passions and Affections, with Illustrations on the Moral Sense (review)Hume Studies 30 (1): 208-209. 2004.With the reintroduction of Hume’s philosophical works in the form of the Green and Gross editions, and the concomitant decline of the British Hegelians about a century ago, respect for Hume’s philosophical talent rose enormously. Our respect and admiration for Hume’s genius, whether we entirely agree with his work or not, has been a sustained, perhaps ever growing, philosophical attitude throughout the time since. However, we have been much slower to recapture and appreciate the philosophical di…Read more
