Beyond the attention economy, towards an ecology of attending. A manifesto
We endorse policymakers’ efforts to address the negative consequences of the attention economy’s technology but add that these approaches are often limited in their criticism of the systemic context of human attention. Starting from Buddhist philosophy, we advocate a broader approach: an ‘ecology of attending’ that centers on conceptualizing, designing, and using attention (1) in an embedded way and (2) focused on the alleviating of suffering. Wi…
No One Mourns the Wicked: The Ethics of Mourning Morally Flawed Celebrities
The Broadway musical “Wicked” opens with an apotheotic song announcing the death of the Wicked Witch of the West (Schwartz 2003). The characters passionately sing, “No one mourns the wicked, no one cries ‘they won't return!’. No one lays a lily on their grave.” They claim that when morally flawed people die, people do not and should not mourn their death. Indeed, the song continues, “The good man scorns the wicked! Through their lives, our childr…
Re-storying sexual harassment in academia: The power of storytelling in combating epistemic injustice
Increasingly, sexual harassment in academia is identified as a problem. In this article, we take issue with the kind of problem sexual harassment in academia is usually held to be. We argue that by dealing with sexual harassment as a legal issue, institutions obscure and evade their moral and epistemic responsibilities toward their members, notably victim-survivors, bystanders, perpetrators, and those working to end sexual harassment. Drawing upo…

Reasons of Love
This chapter starts from the observation that sometimes reasons of love provoke an action that clearly violates a moral norm, such as when a dear friend asks you to cover up her unfaithful absence from home. In order to assess the conflict between love and morality, two questions are asked: are reasons of love somehow different in nature from moral reasons? And if they are, is it possible that one kind of reason trumps the other? One position in …
The ethics of autism
The diagnosis of autism is on the rise. Autistic people, parents, professionals, and policy makers alike face important questions about the right approach toward autism. For example, there are questions about the desirability of early detection, the role and consequences of underlying cognitive theories, and whether autism is a disorder to be treated or an identity to be respected. How does the fact that autism is a heterogeneous concept affect t…
Parental Choices and the Prospect of Regret: An Alternative Account
Is the question ‘will you regret it if you do (not do) this?’ helpful when people face difficult life decisions, such as terminating a pregnancy if a disability is detected or deciding to become a parent? Despite the commonness of the question in daily life, several philosophers have argued lately against its usefulness. We reconstruct four arguments from recent literature on regret, transformative experience and the use of imagination in deliber…
