Emotion's Ambiguity and Wisdom's Clarity in Seongho Yi Ik's Sachil Sinpyeon 四七新篇
How can individuals differentiate between similar yet distinct emotions, especially when they are intertwined in experience? And how can they ascertain the moral implications of their emotions, given their complexities? I explore these questions by examining Korean philosopher Seongho Yi Ik's (1681–1763) discussion of emotional ambiguity in his New Compilation of the Four-Seven Debate ( Sachil Sinpyeon 四七新編). This debate grappled with the nature …
Why the Military Needs Confucian Virtues
Critics of Confucianism have long been concerned with its emphasis on filial piety (xiao 孝). Among the many traditional strictures of this concept are demands that children serve their parents vigilantly, to do so with the proper outward respect and demeanor, and to yield to parental wishes when personal desires come into conflict with them. Critics have found this problematic as an orientation not only toward one’s parents but also to authority …
Crying Havoc and (Re)claiming Rights: How the Liabilities of Revisionism and the Just War Tradition Alter the Moral Equality of Combatants
In the last decade, there has been a seismic shift in debates about the ethics of war, a shift that challenges the foundational assumptions of the just war tradition. In the revisionist project responsible for this shift, the key question becomes whether an agent, through their actions, is liable to the use of deadly force. More recently, this revisionist project has been modestly expanded, from considering how killing others could make an agent …
Duties and Demandingness, Individual and Collective
The Changing Nature of the Just War Tradition: How Our Changing Environment Ought to Change the Foundations of Just War Theory
It is becoming ever more apparent how quickly and dramatically our environment is changing. That changing environment must, in turn, change the way we think about just war theory. When examining jus ad bellum, jus in bello, jus post bellum, and a novel set of considerations referred to as jus para bellum, it becomes apparent that there exists an urgent need for changes not only to the content of just war principles, but also to the principles the…
Collective Directionality: A New Possibility for Collectives as Objects of Normative Consideration

The Significance of a Duty's Direction: Claiming Priority Rather than Prioritizing Claims
Agents do not merely have duties—they often have directed duties to others. This paper first reveals problems with traditional attempts to equate these directed duties with claims and claim rights. It then defends a novel account of directionality that locates the unifying element of directed duties in a counterparty’s prioritization of the duties owed to her. If one agent has a directed duty to another, then the degree to which fulfilling the du…
Directional climate justice: The normative relationship between moral claim rights and directed obligations
A prominent theoretical analysis of moral claim rights holds that a right exists if and only if a corresponding directed obligation exists. Unfortunately, that traditional analysis has significant problems with a large number of apparent rights, including rights related to climate change. Many theorists take this limitation to be sufficient grounds to reject this traditional analysis, but eliminating the link between rights and directed obligatio…
The Collective Fallacy: The Possibility of Irreducibly Collective Action Without Corresponding Collective Moral Responsibility
The common assumption is that if a group comprising moral agents can act intentionally, as a group, then the group itself can also be properly regarded as a moral agent with respect to that action. I argue, however, that this common assumption is the result of a problematic line of reasoning I refer to as “the collective fallacy.” Recognizing the collective fallacy as a fallacy allows us to see that if there are, in fact, irreducibly joint actors…
