    Hegel, Nietzsche, and the Criticism of Metaphysics (review)
    The Owl of Minerva 21 (1): 91-96. 1989.
    We may wish to call this review “After Metaphysics” because Stephen Houlgate’s Hegel, Nietzsche, and the Criticism of Metaphysics invites comparison to Alasdair MacIntyre’s After Virtue. MacIntyre argues that the fundamental ethical conflict in the late twentieth century is that between Aristotle and Nietzsche; these two claim our particular attention, MacIntyre insists, because both reject modernity’s no longer viable liberal individualism. MacIntrye concludes, however, that only Aristotle offe…Read more

    A Response to Thomas O’Meara
    The Owl of Minerva 18 (1): 100-101. 1986.
    As one who writes from “the milieu of American university philosophy,” I should no doubt be grateful that Thomas O’Meara, a scholar who has “a slightly different perspective — one derived from medieval, German, and theological study” — has condescended to review my book Schelling: An Introduction to the System of Freedom. Indeed, I am grateful, for Father O’Meara has revealed to me some of the shortcomings of my own perspective. Limited by my “optic of the Enlightenment and modern American philo…Read more

    Orgasmic Idealism
    The Owl of Minerva 16 (2): 236-242. 1985.
    As is well known, Hegel was intrigued by words having opposed significations, words like aufheben in German, or ‘cleave’ in English; he was convinced that superficial conflicts in meaning generally point to hidden truths. Deep in the Phenomenology of Spirit, Hegel reveals a similar interest in a physical organ that serves dual and opposed functions; in his words, “In living beings, nature … combines the organ of its highest completion, the organ of generation, with the organ of urination.”

    Over the years there have appeared a number of theoretical and metatheoretical broadsides against Harry Frankfurt's familiar arguments denying that a free moral agent have alternatives in some real sense as a necessary condition for her moral responsibility. In what follows I will attempt to focus on a particular defensive strategy of Frankfurt's, which, when analyzed, yields evidence that such attacks, particularly the metatheoretical ones, are not misplaced
