The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Friendship
An important part of friendships are the so-called special obligations generated by them. Friends owe things to each other that they do not owe to strangers. While such special obligations are an important part of our everyday practice, they raise several philosophical questions. These questions include the status of special obligations (are such obligations sui generis or is it possible to reduce them to general moral principles?), the source of…
Consequentialism and Partiality
Consequentialism has often been criticized for its inability to accommodate the partiality toward intimates that most people regard as not only morally permissible but as morally required. Consequentialists have responded to this objection by attempting to show, in various ways, that such partiality can, in some sense, be justified by their theory. While the classical utilitarians such as Mill and Sidgwick claimed that adherence to rules of thumb…
The Evil Within
Thomas Jefferson and Edward Coles were men of similar background, but the former remained a slaveholder while the latter emancipated his slaves. Examining the ways in which people such as Jefferson, who perform wrong and even evil actions, attempt to justify those actions both to others and to themselves illuminates the mistakes that we ourselves make in moral reasoning. The study of moral philosophy can help us to identify and correct for such m…
Moral and Legal Obligations to Support ‘Family’
We have various kinds of moral obligations to take care of those to whom we stand in intimate relationships, and, for many of us, some of those whom we consider family are among our most important intimates. These moral obligations have various grounds; some are unique to intimate relationships while others also occur in non-intimate relationships. Given the centrality of intimate relationships and their attendant moral obligations to our lives, …

Special Relationships and the Problem of Political Obligations
Friendship and Reasons of Intimacy
Reasons of intimacy, i.e. reasons to care for friends and other intimates, resist categorization as either subjective Humean reasons or as objective consequentialist reasons. Reasons of intimacy are grounded in the friendship relation itself. not in the psychological attitudes of the agent or in the objective intrinsic value of the friend or the friendship. So reasons of intimacy are objective and agent‐relative and can be understood by analogy w…
A Defense of Acting from Duty
Families, Friends, and Special Obligations
Most of us accept that we have special obligations to our family members: to, e.g., our parents, our siblings, and our grandparents. But it is extremely difficult to offer a plausible grounding for such obligations, given the apparent fact that (at least most) familial relationships are not voluntarily entered. I did not choose to be my mother's daughter or my brother's sister, so why suppose that such facts about me are morally significant? Why …
Friendship, Virtue, and Impartiality
The two dominant contemporary moral theories, Kantianism and utilitarianism, have difficulty accommodating our commonsense understanding of friendship as a relationship with significant moral implications. The difficulty seems to arise from their underlying commitment to impartiality, to the claim that all persons are equally worthy of concern. Aristotelian accounts of friendship are partialist in so far as they defend certain types of friendship…
Libertarianism, Self-Ownership, and Motherhood
Dans le cadre du debat opposant R. Nozick et S. M. Okin sur la conception liberale du droit en general, et sur la conception lockienne du droit a la propriete en particulier, l'A. developpe une conception de la propriete de soi qui rend compte du travail generique des femmes et des relations de dependance mere/enfant
Persons, Compensation, and Utilitarianism
Selon Parfit (« Reasons and Persons », 1984), la vision reductionniste de l'identite personnelle joue en faveur de l'utilitarisme car elle ebranle l'objection de la separation des personnes. La continuite psychologique est plus importante que l'identite
