Trust in the World: Løgstrup on the Conditions of Shared Moral Life
In Danish philosopher Knud Ejler Lgstrup's primary contributions to moral phenomenology, The Ethical Demand and Beyond the Ethical Demand, moral agents are characterized as exposed to "an unspoken, and one might say anonymous, demand on us that we take care of the life that trust puts in our hands" i ; a demand that we "use our power over the other person in such a way as to serve them" (ED 47).Lgstrup goes so far as to say that "everything that …
Response to Commentators on Existential Flourishing
In this piece I respond to questions and criticisms raised by commentators on my recent book, Existential Flourishing: A Phenomenology of the Virtues (Cambridge University Press, 2019). I argue for an irreducible normative plurality governing our struggle to lead good human lives, and address questions about how to decide what to do in the face of such plurality
Normativity, Meaning, and the Promise of Phenomenology
Time and the Shared World: Heidegger on Social Relations
This volume challenges the view that Heidegger offers few resources for understanding humanity’s social nature. The book demonstrates that Heidegger’s reformulation of traditional notions of subjectivity has implications for understanding the nature of relationships. In doing so, she argues that Heidegger’s work on the social nature of the self must be located within a philosophical continuum that builds on Kant and Husserl’s work regarding the n…
Love and Entitlement: Sartre and Beauvoir on the Nature of Jealousy
This paper argues that an essential and often overlooked feature of jealousy is the sense that one is entitled to the affirmation provided by the love relationship. By turning to Sartre's and Beauvoir's analyses of love and its distortions, I will show how the public nature of identity can inhibit the possibility of genuine love. Since we must depend on the freedom of others to show us who we are, the uncertainty this introduces into one's sense …
A Modest Proposal: Accounting for the Virtuousness of Modesty
Recent attempts to explain why modesty should be considered a virtue have failed. A more adequate account is that modesty involves understanding how far one's accomplishments ought to be taken as definitive of one's value. Modest people communicate this self-understanding through behaviour motivated by the desire to ensure that their accomplishments do not cause pain to others. This virtuous mode of self-awareness involves recognizing that one is…
