  • Grave Injustice

    Open AccessTimothy WaligoreARTICLEJournal of Social Philosophy2025

    Spitting on graves, breaking deathbed promises, slandering the dead, not honoring wills—disrespecting the dead may provoke powerful responses. But beyond such specific individualized acts, I argue we should think more broadly about disrespect toward the dead. Central to my argument is the idea of a “framework of justice,” which is a particular conception of justice officially adopted for a social context (or set of social contexts).1 The adequacy…

  • Supersession and compensation for historical injustice

    Open AccessLaurence H Meyer, Timothy WaligoreARTICLECritical Review of International…2024References: 5

    This article examines the relationship between Jeremy Waldron's supersession thesis and compensation. Recently, Waldron has argued that claims for material compensation for the original injustice cannot be superseded. He limits supersession to issues of restitution. Waldron's supersession thesis is frequently cited by opponents of claims based on historical injustice, so his view of compensation warrants close examination. In our article, we expl…

  • Superseding historical injustice? New critical assessments

    Open AccessLaurence H Meyer, Lukas H Meyer et al.ARTICLECritical Review of International…2022Cited by: 3References: 2

    This article proposes that debates over historical injustice and Jeremy Waldron’s supersession thesis are helpfully framed by distinguishing between (a) the abstract supersession thesis proper, (b) the temporal orientation of justice, (c) various conceptions of supersession, and (d) arguments against using supersession discourse. This introduction and contributors to this volume advance the debate by discussing Waldron’s later, less examined writ…

  • Legitimate Expectations, Historical Injustice, and Perverse Incentives for Settlers

    Timothy WaligoreARTICLEMoral Philosophy and Politics2017

    This article argues against privileging the expectations of settlers over those of dispossessed peoples. I assume in this article that historical rights to occupancy do not persist through all changes in circumstances, but a theory of justice should reduce perverse incentives to unjustly settle on land in hopes of legitimating occupancy. Margaret Moore, in her 2015 book, A Political Theory of Territory , tries to balance these intuitions through …

  • Domination and Global Political Justice

    Philip Pettit, Barbara Buckinx et al.EDITORBOOKDomination and Global Political…2015

    Liberalism is now the globally dominant ideology. It constitutes an ethico-juridical set of concepts, norms and principles, underlying assumptions and overarching narratives, which will necessarily be a central reference point for debate, whether as an accepted framework or one to be challenged, modified, and built upon. Race can only be transcended by facing and working through it, not by evading and pretending to have sublated it. A liberalism …

  • Rawls, self-respect, and assurance

    Open AccessTimothy WaligoreARTICLEPolitics Philosophy & Economics2015Cited by: 11References: 10

    This article adapts John Rawls’s writings, arguing that past injustice can change what we ought to publicly affirm as the standard of justice today. My approach differs from forward-looking approaches based on alleviating prospective disadvantage and backward-looking historical entitlement approaches. In different contexts, Rawls’s own concern for the ‘social bases of self-respect’ and equal citizenship may require public endorsement of different…

  • Comment on Véronique Zanetti. On Moral Compromise

    Open AccessTimothy WaligoreARTICLEAnalyse & Kritik2011

    In this article, I criticize Véronique Zanetti on the topic of moral compromise. As I understand Zanetti, a compromise could only be called a “moral compromise” if (i) it does not originate under coercive conditions, (ii) it involves conflict whose subject matter is moral, and (iii) “the parties support the solution found for what they take to be moral reasons rather than strategic interests.” I offer three criticisms of Zanetti. First, Zanetti i…
