The Case for Unsustainability in the University Curriculum
Is Contrastive Consent Necessary for Secondary Permissibility
Theron Pummer has argued that contrastive consent is necessary for the phenomenon of "secondary permissibility." I argue that it is not, and I undermine the motivation for thinking that it is
Megaliths, material engagement, and the atmospherics of neo-lithic ethics
Climate change spells the end of tourism, and tourism is just one, and one of the least important, things to be so very near its end. This situation has emerged because of the global dominance of forms of material engagement that completely misunderstand the distribution of agency in the world. Framing the world as just an external human ‘resource’ diminishes the many forms of agency that elude, transcend, effect, facilitate and subvert human int…
Two Arguments for Objectivism about Moral Permissibility
Is what we’re morally permitted to do grounded in our subjective situation? Subjectivists maintain that it is. Objectivists deny this. I shall offer two arguments for Objectivism about moral permissibility

Thomson's Trolley Problem
No one has done more over the past four decades to draw attention to the importance of, and attempt to solve, a particularly vexing problem in ethics—the Trolley Problem—than Judith Jarvis Thomson. Though the problem is originally due to Philippa Foot (“The Problem of Abortion and the Doctrine of Double Effect”), Thomson showed how Foot’s simple solution would not do and offered some solutions of her own. No solution is uncontroversial and the pr…

A Sketch of a Theory of Moral Blameworthiness
In this paper I sketch an account of moral blame and blameworthiness. I begin by clarifying what I take blame to be and explaining how blameworthiness is to be analyzed in terms of it. I then consider different accounts of the conditions of blameworthiness and, in the end, settle on one according to which a person is blameworthy for φ ‐ing just in case, in φ ‐ing, she violates one of a particular class of moral requirements governing the attitude…
Fischer on Blameworthiness and “Ought” Implies “Can”
Ought' and Ability
A principle that many have found attractive is one that goes by the name “'Ought' Implies 'Can'.” According to this principle, one morally ought to do something only if one can do it. This essay has two goals: to show that the principle is false and to undermine the motivations that have been offered for it. Toward the end, a proposal about moral obligation according to which something like a restricted version of 'Ought' Implies 'Can' is true is…
