Conceptual Analysis in Meta‐Ethics
Many contemporary moral and political philosophers assume that any satisfactory analysis of ethical terms should grasp their ordinary usage. As noted in the literature, this methodological premise implies that the analysis of ethical concepts is not concerned with the Platonic realm, but rather with making explicit what is covered by those terms in ordinary language. Call this view, “ethical descriptivism”. In this article, I make a case against …
Human Rights under Emergency
International human rights law allows states to derogate some of their human rights obligations in times of public emergency. This essay attempts a normative assessment of the practice of derogation.

We notice that a major inconsistency between rights and derogation derives from the unilateral character of derogation: derogating parties are assigned…
Complex Collective Duties & Action-Guidance
We can often find in the literature (both popular and academic) ascriptions of complex collective duties to extensive unstructured collections of individuals. By ‘complex collective duties’, I mean collective duties that, plausibly, require that the individual members of an extensive unstructured collection should enact different contributory act-types to achieve an end jointly - for example, the alleged universal collective duty to end global po…
Rights and Practical Reasoning

What are the main conditions that any theory of human rights should satisfy to guide action? If agents must take action for a fairer world as human rights discourse suggests, this is a crucial question to reflect upon. In this paper, I make a proposal. I argue that any theory of (moral) human rights that guides action on the basis of correlative duties must satisfy three key conditions. The first condition is focused on the specification of act-t…
