Moral Exemplarity: The Trouble with Linda Zagzebski's Semantic Theory of Exemplarity
The emotion of admiration and the semantic theory of natural kinds and direct reference are foundational for Linda Zagzebski's exemplarist moral theory and divine motivation theory. Many have examined difficulties that arise from the central role of admiration, while others have engaged her account of the incarnation. Little attention has been given to her semantic theory or philosophy of language. This essay demonstrates the difficulties and pro…
Reproductive Justice: Mary Wollstonecraft on Women’s “Rights Against Domination” for the “Cause of Virtue
Wollstonecraft's name and work have been invoked repeatedly since Dobbs, not only because she wrote the first major political treatise defending women's rights but also because several leaders of the so-called "prolife" movement have sought to reclaim the label "feminist" by enlisting Wollstonecraft in the contemporary antiabortion, anticontraception, and heterosexual family-centered cause. The article challenges these anachronistic and revisioni…
Abolition and Anarchy, Then and Now: Political Theologies of Resistance, Government, and Non-Reformist Reforms
The movements for prison and police abolition today are not only analogous to but extensions of antebellum and postbellum movements for the abolition of slavery and segregation. Dreams of transformative justice, resistance to government, and the creation of alternative practices have been vital to abolitionist efforts to dismantle various US anarchies. This essay examines the political and theological debates of antebellum abolitionists about the…
Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Anthropology: From Foil to Fertile Soil for Eco-Justice
Until recently, popular presumption and scholarly consensus have cautioned against using Emerson as a constructive resource for eco-justice. Emerson’s views of nature, race, and gender as well as his involvement in the abolitionist and women’s movements of the nineteenth century have been a source of ongoing debate. At a time when concerns about social justice and equity have rightly become prominent in eco-justice, scholars of theology, religion…

Protestant Political Theology and Pluralism: From a Politics of Refusal to Tending and Organizing for Common Goods
Protestant perspectives on pluralism in political theology are predictably plural. While prevalent narratives of modern decline bemoan Protestant pluralism and its ostensive side-effects, others celebrate pluralism as a good in its own right. One aim of this essay is to display the diverse perspectives in Protestant political theology regarding political theology itself, pluralism, secularism, and democracy, while clarifying and refining these te…
Distinguishing Intellectual and Moral Virtues in the Practices of Modern Science
Virtue epistemologists of the responsibilist persuasion have rejected the classical, Aristotelian and Thomistic, distinction between the intellectual and moral virtues. They prefer to think of the intellectual virtues as a subset of the moral virtues. Thomas Aquinas defends the distinction and its importance. By Aquinas’ lights, Linda Zagzebski, one of the most prominent responsibilists, not only denies the distinction between moral and intellect…
The Virtue of Emerson's Imitation of Christ: From William Ellery Channing to John Brown
Christians have traditionally conceived of the moral life as an imitation of Christ, whereby followers enter into fellowship with God. The American Transcendentalists can be understood as extending rather than dispensing with this legacy. For Emerson, a person cultivates virtues by imitating those she loves and admires. Ultimately, however, the virtues enable her to innovate on received models, to excel by pressing beyond exemplars. Emerson's fam…
Weird John Brown: Divine Violence and the Limits of Ethics by Ted A. Smith
Silvia Sebastiani, The Scottish Enlightenment: Race, Gender and the Limits of Progress
Putting on Virtue Without Putting Off Feminists: M ary W ollstonecraft's Religious Moral Imagination
M ary W ollstonecraft's account of virtue discourse and formation, which deploys ancient and medieval ethical resources for modern purposes, challenges a prevalent narrative in C hristian ethics today. Several prominent C hristian virtue ethicists have left the false impression that serious reflection on the virtues depends on pre‐modern traditions and the eschewal of modern resources. Troubled by skeptical quandaries and the difficulty of adjudi…
