Short Changed: Experiences of Culturally Diverse Special Educational Doctoral Program Graduates
The field of special education (SPED) has been suffering a shortage of professionals at every level for several years. This shortage is especially pronounced at higher education faculty level and for individuals who are considered culturally diverse (CD). To increase the number of CD SPED faculty, it is important to understand the positive and negative experiences of individuals who have succeeded in graduating with doctoral degrees in SPED. Util…
Dear Prudence
Guy Fletcher has written an excellent and much needed book about prudence—lucid, thoughtful, and, to my mind, persuasive. He is well acquainted with all the contemporary literature on his topic, and his treatment of the contributions of others is fair, sympathetic, and helpful. While the discussion becomes increasingly subtle and complex, Fletcher remains admirably clear throughout. Signposts and reminders help the reader, as do outlines and summ…

The Effects of Social Skill Interventions for Adolescents With Autism: A Meta-Analysis
Communicating with peers often poses challenges for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD); these social interactions, however, can be especially difficult during the teenage years. For many adolescents with ASD, peer interaction is often limited or nonexistent, even for those taught in general education settings. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to investigate social interaction interventions for adolescents with ASD within public …

Deontology
This chapter proposes a novel form of deontology that, while it contrasts with consequentialism in defending duties of special relationship and options, is allied with consequentialism in denying that there are moral constraints. It devotes considerable attention to distinguishing between various consequentialist doctrines, and the distinction between them and deontology. The distinction between agent-relativity and agent-neutrality plays a cruci…
Duty, Rationality, and Practical Reasons
Is God (almost) a consequentialist? Swinburne's moral theory
Swinburne offers a greater-goods defence to the problem of evil within a deontological framework. Yet deontologists characteristically hold that we have no right to inflict great evil on any individual to bring about the greater good. Swinburne accepts that humans generally do not have that right, but argues that God, as the supreme care-giver, does. I contend that Swinburne's argument that care-givers have such a right is flawed, and defend the …
Conditional and Conditioned Reasons
This paper is a brief reponse to some of Douglas Portmore's criticisms of our version of the agent-relative/agent-neutral distinction. In his interesting and helpful paper ‘McNaughton and Rawling on the Agent-relative/Agent-neutral Distinction’, Douglas Portmore criticizes our formalization of duties on the grounds that we have over-looked an important class of conditional cases in which the antecedent of the conditional falls outside the scope o…

Achievement, welfare and consequentialism
defend utilitarianism by moving from a hedonist account of well-being to one that allows a significant role for accomplishment thereby admits a ‘Trojan Horse ’ (267).1 To abandon hedonism in favour of a conception of well-being that incorporates achievement is to take the first step down a slippery slope toward the collapse of the other two pillars of utilitarian morality: welfarism and consequentialism. We shall argue that Crisp’s arguments do n…
An Unconnected Heap of Duties?
Despite its name, the school of ethical intuitionism which flourished between the World Wars, and whose greatest proponents were Prichard and Ross, was not distinguished from its competitors by a distinctive epistemology. The dispute between intuitionism and its main rival, the utilitarian tradition, revolved around the issue of whether there was more than one fundamental moral principle. 1 The utilitarian tradition in ethical thought can be repr…

Value and Agent-Relative Reasons
In recent years the distinction between agent-relative and agent-neutral reasons has been taken by many to play a key role in distinguishing deontology from consequentialism. It is central to all universalist consequentialist theories that value is determined impersonally; the real value of any state of affairs does not depend on the point of view of the agent. No reference, therefore, to the agent or to his or her position in the world need ente…
Reparation and Atonement
The Christian doctrine of the Atonement has been interpreted in several ways. In Responsibility and Atonement , Richard Swinburne offers us a version of the sacrificial account of Christ's redemptive work. This version claims that in the life and death of Jesus we have a gift of great and fitting value, which God himself has made available to us, and which we can in turn offer to God as reparation and penance for our sins. My paper has two main p…
