Philosophy after Hiroshima
The Vicissitudes of Common-Sense Virtue Ethics, Part I
The Vicissitudes of Common-Sense Virtue Ethics, Part II
Autonomy and Intervention
The basic relationship between people should be care, and the caring life is the highest which humans can live. Unfortunately, care that is not thoughtful slides into illegitimate intrusion on autonomy. Autonomy is a basic good, and we should not abridge it without good reason. On the other hand, it is not the only good. We must sometimes intervene in the lives of others to protect them from grave harms or provide them with important benefits. Th…

Saving You for Real People
Development and Criticism of a Behaviorist Analysis of Perception
Lévi-Strauss on Unconscious Social Structures
Phenomenology and Structuralism
Infrastructures are material forms that allow for the possibility of exchange over space. They are the physical networks through which goods, ideas, waste, power, people, and finance are trafficked. In this article I trace the range of anthropological ...Read More

The Value of Value Judgments in Sociology
DAVID J. GRAY, in a recent issue of this journal (1968), expresses a number of judgments about the current practice of sociology and its dominant ideology. I wish to expand some of his points and to issue a cautionary note.

Sociologists who a…
Philosophic Conceptions in Mendeleev's Principles of Chemistry
Dmitri Mendeleev, while not creatively a philosopher of science, nor a student of systematic philosophy, was eminently a philosophical scientist. Concern about the nature and foundations of his science is evident throughout the text and footnotes of the Principles of Chemistry. One has to presume that his conclusions provided him with some direction for “the study of his great generalizations” in chemistry, especially for the greatest fruit of hi…
Boyle's Metaphysic of Science
Robert Boyle's corpuscular philosophy was an important instance in the history of thought of a use of metaphysical principles in formulating new methods for physical science. Since Boyle nowhere completely and explicitly discussed his metaphysic, I shall undertake to reconstruct it and trace its influence on his scientific work
