Perpetual Struggle
What if it doesn't get better? Against more hopeful and optimistic views that it is not just ideal but possible to put an end to what John Rawls calls “the great evils of human history,” I aver that when it comes to evils caused by human beings, the situation is hopeless. We are better off with the heavy knowledge that evils recur than we are with idealizations of progress, perfection, and completeness; an appropriate ethic for living with such h…
Moral Psychology of Forgiveness
Doctor's Orders
Menopause and weight
Real (and) Imaginal Relationships with the Dead
Although philosophers have written much about death, appreciating the nature and the value of the relationship of the living to our dead is an aspect of human life that we seem to have neglected. 1 Like many feminist ethicists, I have argued explicitly for the value of relationships simpliciter, especially from the perspective of the ethics of care; I am influenced by philosophers including Virginia Held, who says that ''to the ethics of care, ou…
Building Receptivity
Aldo Leopold’s A Sand County Almanac emphasizes values of receptivity and perceptivity that appear to be mutually reinforcing, critical to an ecological conscience, and cultivatable through concrete and embodied experience. His priorities bear striking similarities to elements of the ethics of care elaborated by feminist philosophers, especially Nel Noddings, who notably recommended receptivity, direct and personal experience, and even shared Leo…
Forgivingness, Pessimism, and Environmental Citizenship
The Limits of Forgiveness
In this paper, we contextualize Claudia Card's work on forgiveness within wider literatures on forgiveness. With Card, we emphasize the costs of forgiveness and the sufferings of victims, and suggest alternatives to forgiving evils. Women who live in particularly unsafe contexts require recognition more than reconciliation. We conclude that those who forgive evil also require recognition that respects the choices of forgiving agents, seeing their…
The Case for our Widespread Dependency
The Atrocity Paradigm Applied to Environmental Evils
Environmental ethicists have been remarkably reticent to use the word in describing ecological ills. This is not to say that we are somehow behind the curve in the wider world of philosophy. Claudia Card has rightly noted (2000, 9), Until the past two decades, surprisingly few secular moral philosophers have attended specifically to the concept of evil. Shortly thereafter she notes that her own list of atrocities includes evils done to animals wh…
