The Oxford Handbook of the Philosophy of Suicide
Suicide is a perennial subject of philosophical interest, but also one with a great deal of contemporary currency. While multi-disciplinarity is essential in the study of suicide, some of the key questions concerning suicide are unavoidably philosophical: Can suicide be, in certain situations, morally permissible or even morally obligatory? Can it be a rational choice? What are our obligations toward suicidal individuals? And how should we even d…
Practical Identity, Fittingness, and the Resolution of Grief
A brief reply to M. Hayward, "Grief as Identity Crisis," Philosophy, Psychiatry, and Psychology 32 (5): 191-201
Debating a Post-Work Future
The book provides a comprehensive, critical overview of philosophical, social-scientific, and humanistic arguments about the design and desirability of "post-work" society. Its purpose is to clarify the concepts and theories that inform this debate by exploring the diversity of arguments from a wide range of perspectives about the meaning of a "post-work" future. The book's 12 chapters were written exclusively for the volume by an international t…

Empathy and Psychopaths’ Inability to Grieve
Psychopaths exhibit diminished ability to grieve. Here I address whether this inability can be explained by the trademark feature of psychopaths, namely, their diminished capacity for interpersonal empathy. I argue that this hypothesis turns out to be correct, but requires that we conceptualize empathy not merely as an ability to relate (emotionally and ethically) to other individuals but also as an ability to relate to past and present iteration…

Rationally Facing Death
Explaining what emotions or attitudes it is rational for humans to have toward our own deaths and toward their mortality has been a central task within most philosophical traditions. This article critically examines the rationality of five emotions or attitudes that might be taken toward death: fear, insofar as death can harm us by reducing our overall level of well-being; the related attitude of existential terror, a feeling of dismay or uncanni…
The Case Against Death
The Movement for Black Lives
The Movement for Black Lives (M4BL) has gained worldwide visibility as a grassroots social justice movement distinguished by a decentralized, nonhierarchical mode of organization. M4BL rose to prominence in part thanks to its protests against police brutality and misconduct directed at black Americans. However, its animating concerns are far broader, calling for a wide range of economic, political, legal, and cultural measures to address what it …
Grieving Our Way Back to Meaningfulness
The deaths of those on whom our practical identities rely generate a sense of disorientation or alienation from the world seemingly at odds with life being meaningful. In the terms put forth in Cheshire Calhoun's recent account of meaningfulness in life, because their existence serves as a metaphysical presupposition of our practical identities, their deaths threaten to upend a background frame of agency against which much of our choice and delib…
Must I Benefit Myself?
Morality seems to require us to attend to the good of others, but it does not require that we assign any importance to our own good. Standard forms of consequentialism thus appear vulnerable to the compulsory self-benefit objection: they require agents to benefit themselves when doing so is entailed by the requirement of maximizing overall impersonal good. Attempts to address this objection by appealing to ideally motivated consequentialist agent…

Kantian Ethics
Kantian Ethics gathers together fourteen of Robert Stern's articles on Kant's moral philosophy and its subsequent reception and interpretation. Those already familiar with Stern's work will benefit from this book by being able to discern the larger threads in his thought. Those less familiar with his work will appreciate the care and ingenuity Stern displays in bringing Kant into conversation with both historical and contemporary concerns. The se…
Public cartels, private conscience
Many contributors to debates about professional conscience assume a basic, pre-professional right of conscientious refusal and proceed to address how to ‘balance’ this right against other goods. Here I argue that opponents of a right of conscientious refusal concede too much in assuming such a right, overlooking that the professions in which conscientious refusal is invoked nearly always operate as public cartels, enjoying various economic benefi…
Paternalism and our Rational Powers
According to rational will views of paternalism, the wrongmaking feature of paternalism is that paternalists disregard or fail to respect the rational will of the paternalized, in effect substituting their own presumably superior judgments about what ends the paternalized ought to pursue or how they ought to pursue them. Here I defend a version of the rational will view appealing to three rational powers that constitute rational agency, which I c…
Grief's Rationality, Backward and Forward
Grief is our emotional response to the deaths of intimates, and so like many other emotional conditions, it can be appraised in terms of its rationality. A philosophical account of grief's rationality should satisfy a contingency constraint , wherein grief is neither intrinsically rational nor intrinsically irrational. Here I provide an account of grief and its rationality that satisfies this constraint, while also being faithful to the phenomeno…
The right to die and the medical cartel
Kantian paternalism and suicide intervention
Kantian paternalism (KP) allows for paternalistic interference in order to help agents achieve the rationally chosen ends that constitute their conception of the good. It offers a necessary condition on paternalistic interference because it recognizes that the moral and non-moral costs of such interference can sometimes outweigh its benefits. Central to KP is the notion that paternalism is warranted when agents exhibit a certain form of instrumen…
Paternalism
Is it allowable for your government, or anyone else, to influence or coerce you 'for your own sake'? This is a question about paternalism, or interference with a person's liberty or autonomy with the intention of promoting their good or averting harm, which has created considerable controversy at least since John Stuart Mill's On Liberty. Mill famously decried paternalism of any kind, whether carried out by private individuals or the state. In th…

The Murderer at the Door
Embarrassed by the apparent rigorism Kant expresses so bluntly in ‘On a Supposed Right to Lie,’ numerous contemporary Kantians have attempted to show that Kant’s ethics can justify lying in specific circumstances, in particular, when lying to a murderer is necessary in order to prevent her from killing another innocent person. My aim is to improve upon these efforts and show that lying to prevent the death of another innocent person could be requ…
