Self-control in action and belief
Self-control is normally, if only tacitly, viewed as an inherently practical capacity or achievement: as exercised only in the domain of action. Questioning this assumption, we wish to motivate the perhaps unexpected idea that self-control is in fact a transversal phenomenon which is applicable both to action and to belief. While there may be some differences in how self-control is manifested in the respective realms of action and belief, these d…
Good For” supra “Good”
Acts of Will: Acts of Will
In Willing, Wanting, Waiting, Richard Holton seeks to enrich our picture of the human mind as it figures in agency. He argues that we cannot understand action in terms of beliefs and desires alone: throughout the book he progressively adds moving parts which he argues are essential and not merely ancillary to the portrait of the mind which we need to paint if we are to account properly for human action. One of the themes of the book, even if it i…

Moral Relativism and Quasi-Absolutism
The Rational and the Moral Order: The Social Roots of Reason and Morality
This book propounds a theory of reason and a theory of morality, advanced by Professor Baier in his APA presidential address and his Carus Lectures. Our possession of reason and our ability to reason depend on our having grown up in a rational order: a social order which engages in the enterprise of reason and, through socialisation, passes on from one generation to the next the knowledge of the recognised general principles of reasoning, the abi…
Between Universalism and Skepticism: Ethics as Social Artifact
Dworkin and Casey on Abortion
This article responds to two important recent treatments of abortion rights. I will mainly discuss Ronald Dworkin's recent writings concerning abortion: his article "Unenumerated rights: whether and how Roe should be overruled," and his book Life's Dominion. In these writings Dworkin presents a novel view of what the constitutional and moral argument surronding abortion is really about. Both debates actually turn, he argues, on the question of ho…
