Intellectual Humility and the Argument from Evil
This is a response to Zain Ali’s critique in this journal of our presentation of a ‘right relationship’ normatively relativised ‘logical’ Argument from Evil. Our argument aims to show that the existence of horrendous evils (as defined by Marilyn Adams) is incompatible with the existence of the personal omniGod (a person or personal being who is all-powerful, all-knowing, and perfectly good), given certain reasonable judgments about what a persona…
Reasonable faith and reasonable fideism
What is faith? And what makes faith reasonable, when it is so? I first defend approaching the question of faith and its reasonableness by starting from faith in the religious context. Next, I develop a ‘venture’ theory of a specific kind of faith of which religious – and specifically Christian – practical commitment to a whole worldview may be taken methodologically as a paradigm case. Then I consider the conditions under which faith-commitment o…
On the Significance of Assumptions about Divine Goodness and Divine Ontology for 'Logical' Arguments from Evil
Sterba's Is a Good God Logically Possible? (2019) draws attention to the importance of ethical assumptions in 'logical' arguments from evil (LAfEs) to the effect that the existence of (certain types) of evil is incompatible with the existence of a God who is all-powerful and morally perfect. I argue, first, that such arguments are likely to succeed only when 'normatively relativized'-that is, when based on assumptions about divine goodness that m…

Believing by Faith
Can it be justifiable to commit oneself 'by faith' to a religious claim when its truth lacks adequate support from one's total available evidence? In this book, Bishop defends a version of fideism inspired by William James's 1896 lecture 'The Will to Believe'.
Inequality and Poverty
This volume is a collection of papers presented at the first meeting of the Society for the Study of Economic Inequality (ECINEQ). The Societys aims are to provide an international forum for all researchers interested in the study of economic inequality and related fields, bringing together the diversity of perspectives. The conference was held in Palma de Mallorca, Spain in July 2005. Over eighty parallel sessions were offered, providing novel a…
Response to Sigurjón Baldur Hafsteinsson's review of Oh, What a Blow that Phantom Gave Me
The Philosophy of Religion
It is argued that philosophy of religion should focus not only on the epistemic justifiability of holding religious beliefs but also on the moral justifiability of commitment to their truth in practical reasoning. If the truth of classical theism may turn out to be evidentially ambiguous, then pressure is placed on the moral evidentialist assumption that one is morally justified in taking a theistic truth-claim to be true only if one's total evid…
On the possibility of doxastic venture
In response to Buckareff, I agree that it is indeed impossible intentionally and directly to acquire a belief one judges not to be supported by one's evidence. But Jamesian doxastic venture does not involve any such direct self-inducing of belief: it is rather a matter of an agent's taking to be true in practical reasoning what she already , through some ‘passional’, non-epistemic, cause, holds true beyond the support of her evidence. To deny tha…
Prospects for a Naturalist Libertarianism
Faith as doxastic venture
A ‘doxastic venture’ model of faith – according to which having faith involves believing beyond what is rationally justifiable – can be defended only on condition that such venturesome believing is both possible and ethically acceptable. I show how a development of the position argued by William James in ‘The will to believe’ can succeed in meeting these conditions. A Jamesian defence of doxastic venture is, however, open to the objection that de…
The dynamics and dangers of entitlement
Excessive entitlement can accompany a range of other problems presented by patients encountered in psychotherapy. In its problematic form it is conceptualized here as having roots in emotional deprivation in childhood, especially when the child was used as a narcissistic extension by parents. This “special” role becomes a learned attitude and behavior and a refuge and defense against the hurt, shame, and fear resulting from this experience. Anger…

Documenting Ourselves
Since Robert Flaherty's landmark film Nanook of the North (1922) arguments have raged over whether or not film records of people and traditions can ever be authentic. And yet never before has a single volume combined documentary, ethnographic, and folkloristic filmmaking to explore this controversy. What happens when we turn the camera on ourselves? This question has long plagued documentary filmmakers concerned with issues of reflexivity, subjec…

Moral Motivation and the Development of Francis Hutcheson's Philosophy
Moral Motivation and the Development of Francis Hutcheson's Philosophy John D. Bishop Hutcheson was an able philosopher, but philosophical analysis was not his only purpose in writing about morals. 1 Throughout his life his writings aimed at promoting virtue; his changing philosophical views often had to conform, if he could make them, to that rhetorical end. But a mind which understands philosophical argument cannot always control the conclusion…

Benefit-Cost Analysis in Program Evaluation
This paper discusses how benefit-cost analysis can help in the evaluation of human services programs. Various kinds of benefits and costs are discussed, as well as how they can be estimated empirically. Benefits and costs, the authors argue, should be evaluated from a wide variety of perspectives, including that of the agency, program participants, all nonparticipants, and society as a whole. In order to compare benefits to costs and make compari…

Cambridge University Vatnajökull Expedition, 1977
This expedition to Iceland was concerned with ice depth soundings of the largest ice cap in Europe and involved both the development of impulse radar systems and the use of satellite survey equipment for locating experimental stations and ice depth traverses (Fig 1). Vatnajökull, which translated means ‘water-ice’, is a temperate ice sheet and measures approximately 140 km east to west and 100 km north to south, thereby occupying more space than …

Employer Search
The purpose of this paper is to present new evidence on employer search to fill a position. The study is based on data for recent hires collected in the 1980 Employer Opportunity Pilot Project (EOPP) survey of employers. The paper investigates the effect of factors such as training, employer size, and labor market conditions on employer search. Employer search is measured by the number of applicants interviewed prior to an employment offer and th…
Leisure beyond the individual consumer
In the concentration on the leisure patterns and aspirations of individuals, we have lost sight of the extremely varied and significant ways in which people come together to undertake their activities. What is commonly termed the ‘voluntary sector’ is an immensely rich and important area of collective activity in which participants, by and large, consume their own products free from the market economy. This paper is based on research which studie…
