On Productivity Holism
NPR runs a program about entrepreneurs called, “How I Built This.” By contrast, the song “Solidarity Forever” says, “It is we who plowed the prairies; built the cities where they trade/Dug the mines and built the workshops, endless miles of railroad laid.” In this article, I examine two ways to conceptualize the production of goods and services: individualistically or holistically. At issue is whose activity has significant social value. Followin…
Changing the Question
Jack, who is seventy‐five years old, is in the hospital with a terminal condition that has undermined his cognitive faculties. He has left no advance directive and has never had a conversation in which he made his treatment wishes remotely clear. Yet now, a treatment decision must be made, and in modern American medicine, the treatment decision for Jack is supposed to be made by a surrogate decision‐maker, who is supposed to use a decision‐making…
The Different Moral Bases of Patient and Surrogate Decision‐Making
My topic is a problem with our practice of surrogate decision‐making in health care, namely, the problem of the surrogate who is not doing her job—the surrogate who cannot be reached or the surrogate who seems to refuse to understand or to be unable to understand the clinical situation. The analysis raises a question about the surrogate who simply disagrees with the medical team. One might think that such a surrogate is doing her job—the team jus…
Die linken Hegelianer
Als Hegel 1831 stirbt, entwickelt sich in den Kreisen seiner Anhänger eine komplexe Diskussion über das Verhältnis von Religion, Philosophie und Staat. Was zunächst als Debatte um die adäquate Deutung des Hegelschen Denkens beginnt, gestaltet sich im Vorlauf der Revolution von 1848 zu einer der radikalsten und fruchtbarsten Phasen der Geschichte des politischen Denkens. Unter dem Eindruck der repressiven Züge des Preußischen Staates und der zuneh…
“Pregnancy Is Not a Disease”
In many American states, a health care worker has a legal right to immunity from employer sanction if she refuses to perform actions at odds with her conscience: she has a legal right to accommodation of her conscientious beliefs. A number of arguments have been advanced to defend or reject this right. These have tended to focus on the possibly conflicting interests of the health care worker and the patient. Recently, however, a new argument has …
The Young Marx and the Middle‐Aged Rawls
Two Types of Civic Friendship
On Noncoercive Establishment
In this essay, I raise the question of whether some degree of noncoercive state support for religious conceptions(broadly understood) should be left to the majoritarian branch of government. I argue that the reason not to do so is that such state support would alienate many citizens. However, to take this as a sufficient reason to constrain the majoritarian branch is to accept the thesis that not being alienated from one’s polity is a significant…
Justification and Radicalism in the 1844 Marx
Marx's Attempt to Leave Philosophy
Justifying a Conception of the Good Life
Marx’s Attempt to Leave Philosophy
Brudney traces post-Hegelian thought from Feuerbach through Bauer to Marx’s work of 1844 and his Theses on Feuerbach , and ends with an examination of The German Ideology . He shows how Marx attempted to reveal humanity’s nature and a notion of the good life, while polemicizing against any concern with metaphysics and epistemology
Reclaiming the History of Ethics
The essays in this volume offer an approach to the history of moral and political philosophy that takes its inspiration from John Rawls. All the contributors are philosophers who have studied with Rawls and they offer this collection in his honour. The distinctive feature of this approach is to address substantive normative questions in moral and political philosophy through an analysis of the texts and theories of major figures in the history of…
