The Kantian Mind
Oxford Studies in Normative Ethics Volume 12
Expressing Gratitude as What’s Morally Expected: A Phenomenological Approach
Moral Theory: An Introduction
The Phenomenology of Kantian Respect for Persons
In this chapter Uriah Kriegel and Mark Timmons apply to the feeling of respect an approach that has become common in understanding other mental phenomena, such as emotions. They distinguish the functional role of respect in moral philosophy (such as the types of treatment that respect leads to), which is described third-personally, from the phenomenological account of what it feels like to experience respect, which is described first-personally. …
Kant's Doctrine of Virtue
Oxford Studies in Normative Ethics Volume 9
Perfect Duties to Oneself as an Animal Being
In his 1797 Metaphysics of Morals, Part II, The Doctrine of Virtue, Kant sets forth a system of ethical duties, divided into duties to oneself and duties to others. Duties to oneself include negative duties one has as a being with an animal nature—duties that concern preserving one’s animal nature. These include: the duty to refrain from suicide and self-mutilation, the duty to refrain from sexual self-abuse, and the duties to refrain from glutto…

Exploring Intuitions on Moral Twin Earth: A Reply to Sonderholm
In his 2013 T heoria article, “Unreliable Intuitions: A New Reply to the Moral Twin‐Earth Argument,” J orn S onderholm attempts to undermine our moral twin earth ( MTE ) argument against R ichard B oyd's moral semantics by debunking the semantic intuitions that are prompted by reflection on the thought experiment featured in the MTE argument. We divide our reply into three main sections. In section 1, we briefly review B oyd's moral semantics and…

Kant on Practical Justification: Interpretive Essays
This volume of essays provides a comprehensive and structured examination of Kant's justification of norms, a crucial but neglected theme in Kantian practical philosophy. The essays engage with the view that a successful account of justification of normative claims has to be non-metaphysical and go on to pursue further implications in ethics, legal and political philosophy, and philosophy of religion
Oxford Studies in Normative Ethics: Volume 2

The topics discussed include: Kantian intuitionism, welfarism, the objective standard of good, intention, permissibility and double effect, moral dumbfounding and moral stupidity, coercion and integrity, practical reason and morality, atomism, subjective normativity and action guidance, and Rawlsian self-respect.

The Construction of Logical Necessity
Empiricist and nativist approaches to understanding the origins and development of conceptions of logical necessity are proposed and criticized. A constructivist alternative is proposed, incorporating contemporary ideas regarding the role of structure, mechanisms of development, the metacognitive basis of stages, and the relation of development and learning. Three stages are postulated. The first involves the development of various classification…
Contrastivism, Relevance Contextualism, and Meta‐Skepticism
Walter Sinnott-Armstrong, in his excellent new book, defends what he calls ‘moderate Pyrrhonian skepticism.’ It is moderate because, with regard to qualified epistemic judgments about beliefs, the view allows that affirmative epistemic judgments involving modest contrast classes can be true. It is a version of Pyrrhonian, as opposed to Academic skepticism, because, with respect to affirmative unqualified epistemic judgments, the Pyrrhonian refuse…

Morality Without Foundations investigates fundamental metaethical questions about the meaning, truth, and justification of moral thought and discourse.

Irrealism and error in ethics
From Moral Realism to Moral Relativism in One Easy Step
En años recientes, las defensas del realismo moral han adoptado lo que llamamos la “semántica moral de la nueva ola”, la cual analiza las formas semánticas de funcionar de los términos morales tales como “bueno” y “correcto” semejantes a las formas semánticas de funcionar de los términos para clases naturales en la ciencia, y se inspira también en temas funcionalistas de la filosofía de la mente. Este tipo de perspectiva semántica que encontramos…

Metaethics after Moore
Presents sixteen essays that represent the work in metaethics after, and in some cases inspired by, the work of G E Moore.
