The mechanics of epistemic justice: A response to Toding et al. and their application of my epistemic approach to dignity
‘I am in pain’: Neuroethics, philosophy of language, and the representation of pain
Who are ‘people’ and why are they ‘like us’: The language-game of dignity
Society must be Self-Defended: Violence, Wilful Ignorance, and the Embodied Habits of Fascism
This paper draws on Wittgenstein and Foucault to argue that self-defence functions as a technology of forgetting, sustaining an epistemology of ignorance that supports the imagined divide between civil society and the dangerous Other. Inflated ideas about martial arts, male aggression, and the legitimacy of self-defence obscure the structural violence needed to preserve social order through a dispositif that uses strategic forgetting to maintain …
Movements that Matter: How Martial Arts Studies Can Reframe the Ethics of First-Blush Empathy
If empathy is how bodies resonate with one another, and ethics is what we are meant to do with that resonance, consideration of the ethics of empathy must begin with the split-second, non-conscious resonance between bodies: first-blush empathy. By combining the expertise of academics and practitioners of bodily knowledge, martial arts studies can distinctively consider how to cultivate the most ethical responses to others. This disciplinary argum…
Misers: British Responses to Extreme Saving, 1700–1860 by Timothy Ablorn
The cultural representation of misers in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries may be a niche interest, but Alborn’s Misers: British Responses to Extreme Saving, 1700–1860 offers a valuable contribution to general historiography in the age of digital research. Alborn traces how the perception of misers shifted across his selected period: Sermons and poems decried misers’ moral failings; ethicists and economists gave ambivalent acceptance; plays…

Redefining the Republic of Letters: The Literary Public and Mudie’s Circulating Library
In late 1860, Charles Mudie’s plans to expand his circulating library inspired his detractors and competitors to challenge the validity of his ‘right to selection’ – the process by which he chose which texts he would loan from his library. Over the next few months, prominent periodicals featured correspondence and editorials that decried or supported Mudie’s ostensible monopoly over literary exchange. While the initial argument was economic, the …
Staging the Streets: The Theatricality of Science in Fin-De-Siècle Martial Arts
As they near the conclusion of their 1890 treatise Broad-Sword and Single-Stick With Chapters on Quarter-Staff, Bayonet, Cudgel, Shillalah, Walking-Stick, Umbrella and Other Weapons of Self-Defense , Baron Headley (Rowland George Allanson-Winn) and C. Phillips-Wolley imagine skeptical readers who resist their admonitions to vigilance: “I can almost hear people say, ‘Oh, this is all rubbish; I'm not going to be attacked; life would not be worth li…
