Caregivers, Kids, and Carnist Structural Injustice
Numerous arguments concerning harms to animals, the environment, and children plausibly establish a defeasible moral duty to avoid training and encouraging kids to regularly eat animal products – practices we call ‘carnist caregiving’. Yet existing social structures make avoiding carnist caregiving unreasonably difficult or unthinkable for many caregivers. We argue that these caregivers are unjustly induced and/or pressured into carnist caregivin…
Use of accounting concepts to study research
This paper uses accounting concepts—particularly the concept of Return on Investment (ROI)—to reveal the quantitative value of scientific research pertaining to a major US cyberinfrastructure project (XSEDE—the eXtreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment). XSEDE provides operational and support services for advanced information technology systems, cloud systems, and supercomputers supporting non-classified US research, with an average b…
Racism as Civic Vice
I argue that racism is essentially a civic character trait: to be a racist is to have a character that rationally reflects racial supremacist sociopolitical values. As with moral vice accounts of racism, character is my account’s primary evaluative focus: character is directly evaluated as racist, and all other racist things are racist insofar as, and because, they cause, are caused by, express, or are otherwise suitably related to racist charact…
Feeling Racial Pride in the Mode of Frederick Douglass
Drawing on Frederick Douglass's arguments about racial pride, this article develops and defends an account of feeling racial pride that centers on resisting racialized oppression. Such pride is racially ecumenical in that it does not imply partiality toward one's own racial group. This article argues that it can both accurately represent its intentional object and be intrinsically and extrinsically valuable to experience. It follows that there is…
The Creeps as a Moral Emotion
Creepiness and the emotion of the creeps have been overlooked in the moral philosophy and moral psychology literatures. We argue that the creeps is a morally significant emotion in its own right, and not simply a type of fear, disgust, or anger (though it shares features with those emotions). Reflecting on cases, we defend a novel account of the creeps as felt in response to creepy people. According to our moral insensitivity account, the creeps …
It starts at home? Climate policies targeting household consumption and behavioral decisions are key to low-carbon futures
Through their consumption behavior, households are responsible for 72% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, they are key actors in reaching the 1.5 °C goal under the Paris Agreement. However, the possible contribution and position of households in climate policies is neither well understood, nor do households receive sufficiently high priority in current climate policy strategies. This paper investigates how behavioral change can achieve a s…
