Duty and Deontology
A too rarely emphasized feature of modern deontological ethics is the structure of its directives. Faced with alternatives, the question for the moral agent is “which, if either, must I perform (or avoid)?” Getting it right, one is, morally speaking, done...until the next set of freighted options presents. We should wonder whether this makes sense: whether there is not a more complex structure to deontological requirements that resists the “one a…
The Moral Habitat
The Moral Habitat is a book in three parts that begins with an investigation of three understudied imperfect duties which together offer some important and challenging insights about moral requirements and moral agency: that our duties only make sense as a system; that actions can be morally wrong to do and yet not be impermissible; and that there are motive-dependent duties. In Part Two, these insights are used to launch a substantial reinterpre…
Comparing engagement by migrants in domestic and in country-of-origin political activities across European cities
This article aims to investigate levels of migrants and second generations’ engagement in country-of-origin political activities and in domestic political activities. Using data from a population survey of individuals of migrant origin in ten European cities undertaken in 2004–2010, we examine both individual and contextual characteristics shaping engagement in one and in the other scope of action. Findings show that migrants and second generatio…
Could It Be Worth Thinking about Kant on Sex and Marriage?
Kant's views on sex, women, and marriage would best be forgotten by anyone who wanted to take Kant seriously. Kant has dreadful things to say about women; his hostility toward sex, the body, and our affective lives generally is famous; and he has strongly conventional views about marriage, children, and the family. There is some temptation to respond by deflecting these problems into the context of theory. Kant wasn't really hostile toward the bo…
La longue et sinueuse route vers l'emploi
Partout en Europe, l’insertion des immigrés sur le marché du travail tend à être inférieure à celle des citoyens natifs et ce, davantage en Belgique que dans les autres pays de l’OCDE (2009). Aucun déterminant unique ne semble être responsable de la situation. Cet article révèle toutefois certains facteurs clés de l’intégration au marché du travail des réfugiés. Les résultats, obtenus à partir de données administratives longitudinales en Belgique…
Embracing Kant's Formalism
In response to critical discussions of my book, Moral Literacy , by Stephen Engstrom, Sally Sedgwick and Andrews Reath, I offer a defence of Kant's formalism that is not only friendly to my claims for the moral theory's sensitivity to a wide range of moral phenomena and practices at the ground level, but also consistent with Kant's high rationalist ambitions
The impact of the conflict in Gaza on antisemitism in Belgium
Taking Belgium as a case study, this article aims to assess the impact of a foreign conflict (the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the Gaza Strip) on intergroup relations in Europe. It asks whether intensification of the conflict in Gaza increases the number of antisemitic incidents in Belgium, and makes use of a database of complaints to the Centrum voor gelijkheid van kansen en voor racismebestrijding (Center of Equal Opportunities and Oppositio…
Moral Literacy
Training to Autonomy
Morality Unbounded
The Scope of Moral Requirement
Lectures on the History of Moral Philosophy
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…
A Cosmopolitan Kingdom of Ends
There is an often unspoken assumption at work in modern moral philosophy that morality is in important ways independent of social and political institutions. The intuitive idea is that whatever morality requires of us as individuals, it will be something that we are, as individuals, able to do, or able to do to the degree that we are virtuous or good. The assumed moral effect on us of political and social institutions is either, positively, to pr…
The Practice of Moral Judgment
Justification and Objectivity
The Practice of Moral Judgment
Herman (philosophy and law, U. of Southern California) accuses all of Kant's critics of obscuring and misinterpreting his thought on ethics, and thereby impoverishing everyone else's understanding of moral judgement and action. She reinterprets the key texts, and finds not a system of following rul
Mutual Aid and Respect for Persons
On the Value of Acting from the Motive of Duty
t has quite reasonably been a source of frustration to sympaI thetic readers that Kant seems to claim that a dutiful action can have moral worth only if it is done from the motive of duty alone. The apparent consequence of this view-that an action cannot have moral worth if there is supporting inclination or desire-is, at the least, troubling as it judges a grudging or resentfully performed dutiful act morally preferable to a similar act done fro…
