Old Enough to Carry, Old Enough to Vote
Japa Pallikkathayil persuasively argues that abortion prohibitions treat impregnable people as less than equal citizens, subject to different treatment than other citizens whose bodies are protected from compulsory service for the benefit of others. Pallikkathayil's argument could be modified to avoid a tension with arguments for conscription, to stress that democratic equality is inconsistent with requisitioning a citizen's body to serve the nee…
Hidden Delegations
Investigating consumer debt assignment exposes a submerged but significant philosophical tension in contract law's treatment of rights transfers. On the one hand, contract law adopts a highly permissive stance toward rights‐transfers (assignments) undertaken on the unilateral initiative of the rights‐holder. On the other hand, it reasonably takes a restrictive posture toward duty‐transfers (delegations), requiring greater input from the duty's be…
The Norton Introduction to Philosophy
Speech Matters
To understand one another as individuals and to fulfill the moral duties that require such understanding, we must communicate with each other. We must also maintain protected channels that render reliable communication possible, a demand that, this book argues, yields a prohibition against lying and requires protection for freedom of speech. The book makes a distinctive philosophical argument for the wrong of the lie and provides an original acco…
A Thinker-Based Approach to Freedom of Speech
This chapter examines the foundational connection between the grounds for the moral prohibition on lying and the moral and political protection of freedom of speech. Both the prohibition on lying and the prohibition on wrongful deception work aim to protect the ability of listeners to rely on speech to develop understandings of one another and of the world. These understandings are essential for our mutual flourishing, for the apprehension and di…
Enhancing moral relationships through strict liability
The article considers the apparent tension between contract’s strict liability doctrine with respect to performance and the general moral precepts that liability should track fault and that one should internalize the costs of one’s own choices, but not the costs of arbitrary misfortune. By making contractors strictly liable for their failure to perform, the law attributes greater responsibility to agents than these moral principles seem to counte…

Incentives, Motives, and Talents
Promising, Intimate Relationships, and Conventionalism
The power to promise is morally fundamental and does not, at its foundation, derive from moral principles that govern our use of conventions. Of course, many features of promising have conventional components—including which words, gestures, or conditions of silence create commitments. What is really at issue between conventionalists and nonconventionalists is whether the basic moral relation of promissory commitment derives from the moral princi…
Paternalism, Unconscionability Doctrine, and Accommodation
Wrongful Life, Procreative Responsibility, and the Significance of Harm
A wrongful life suit is an unusual civil suit brought by a child (typically a congenitally disabled child) 1 who seeks damages for burdens he suffers that result from his creation. Typically, the child charges that he has been born into an unwanted or miserable life. 2 These suits offer the prospect of financial relief for some disabled or neglected children and have some theoretical advantages over alternative causes of action. 3 But they have h…
