Letting others do wrong
It is sometimes—but not always—permissible to let others do wrong. This paper is about why that is so
The Moral Burdens of Temporary Farmwork
This chapter discusses how agricultural guest worker programs fail to treat guest workers as moral equals. Such programs are typically justified on the theory that they enable host countries to cheaply meet labor needs while offering nonresidents access to higher wages than in their home countries. The chapter explains how, to participate in the programs, guest workers must rupture personal and political ties to then come to a new country and eit…
Sustainable Agriculture, Environmental Philosophy, and the Ethics of Food
The goal to make agriculture sustainable expresses an ideal to ensure that our present practices should not impose future disadvantages. “Sustainable agriculture” sometimes refers to agricultural practices that are believed to be “natural,” which do not employ modern technologies. Alternately, the term is sometimes used to refer to agricultural practices that avoid depleting resources or which can be expected to leave future generations as well o…
[Oxford] Handbook of Food Ethics
Food ethics, as an academic pursuit, is vast, incorporating work from philosophy as well as anthropology, economics, environmental sciences and other natural sciences, geography, law, and sociology. This Handbook provides a sample of recent philosophical work in food ethics. This philosophical work addresses ethical issues with agricultural production, the structure of the global food system, the ethics of personal food consumption, the ethics of…
Religious Dietary Practices and Secular Food Ethics; or, How to Hope that Your Food Choices Make a Difference Even When You Reasonably Believe That They Don’t
Religious dietary practices foster a sense of communal identity, certainly, but traditionally they are also regarded as pleasing to God (or the gods, or the ancestors) and spiritually beneficial. In other words, for many religious people, the effects of fasting go well beyond what is immediately observed or empirically measurable, and that is a large part of what motivates participation in the practice. The goal of this chapter is to develop that…
Farming, the Virtues, and Agrarian Philosophy
Food production can be viewed as one among many activities that produce goods in modern industrial societies, with ethical issues analogous to those of other sectors of the economy. Contrarily, agriculture and farming have historically been thought to have unique influence on the nature of social institutions, the reinforcement of moral virtues, and the reproduction of cultural forms. Mainstream approaches in consequentialist and deontological et…

This piece surveys recent work on the ethics of food production and distribution, paying closest attention to animal agriculture, plant agriculture, food justice, and food sovereignty
Food Ethics II
This article surveys recent work on some issues in the ethics of food consumption. It is a companion to our piece on food justice and the ethics of food production
How We Feel About Terrible, Non‐existent Mafiosi
Watching the bottom of the ninth inning of game four of the 2004 American League Championship Series between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees, we were anxious. The Yankees were up 4–3, and New York's renowned closer, Mariano Rivera, was on the mound. The announcers were starting to talk about the Red Sox's history of tragic postseason disappointment since 1918. But the game wasn't over yet! The Sox could score at any moment, and all wo…
Recent Work on the Ethics of Self-Defense
Over the past 20 years, there has been a huge amount of work on which things you can kill in self-defense and why. This paper surveys that work
What Is Wrong with Kamm's and Scanlon's Arguments Against Taurek
In forced choices between lives, where one group is larger than the other, Taurek claims you can save the few. Kamm and Scanlon argue that this is unfair. I argue it is fair. By Kamm’s and Scanlon’s own lights, it is fair. Kamm and Scanlon also try to explain why you are, in these forced choices, required to save the many. These attempts can be interpreted in three ways. I argue none works. By Kamm’s and Scanlon’s own lights, the most promising o…
