As such, the heuristics theory represents a form of moderate rationalism: it acknowledges that emotions can be epistemically valuable, even privile…
Ethical Theory and Moral Practice
Using Quotas as a Remedy for Structural Injustice

The conceptual toolkit we develop can be used to …

This approach is in i…
