Accountability without Equality in Social Relations with Thinking Animals
This essay makes a case that the ethical phenomena of accountability and recognition are not, as is widely believed, grounded in the psychological capacity of self-conscious reflective thought characteristic of persons. We know this because we have relationships of accountability and recognition with some animals who are clearly not self-conscious in that sense. On the other hand, not all conscious animals are capable of accountability or recogni…
Decency
This essay provides an account of the virtue of decency in the context of both ethics and politics. This virtue is distinctive because it is keyed to the moral status of thinking animals. Decency is not unique in being keyed to a moral status. As this essay explains and supports, humaneness is keyed to the status of conscious animals more generally, whereas justice is keyed to the moral status of conscious persons more specifically. Decency is le…
Societal Cooperation in Latest Rawls
This essay investigates John Rawls's understanding of societal cooperation in his latest work, where he presents a family of conceptions of political justice as the object of consensus in an ideally just society. This contrasts with both Rawls's 1971 position in A Theory of Justice and the original 1993 edition of Political Liberalism , each of which presents a single conception of justice as the focus of consensus. This change ramifies through h…

From Rationality to Equality
James P. Sterba's From Rationality to Equality summarizes and extends the author's recent work in ethical theory and political philosophy, and also contains responses to critics.1 The book is a continuation of Sterba's abiding aim to put egoism in its place, and its substantive aims are extremely ambitious. It seeks both to rebut egoism in favor of morality and to rebut political libertarianism in favor of egalitarianism, while operating from a p…
The Priority and Posteriority of Right
In this article I articulate two pairs of theses about the relationship between the right and the good and I sketch an account of morality that systematically vindicates all four theses, despite a nearly universal consensus that they are not all true. In the first half I elucidate and motivate the theses and explain why leading ethical theorists maintain that at least one of them is false; in the second half I present the outlines of an account o…
The Idea of an Overlapping Consensus Revisited
Meriting Concern and Meriting Respect
Recently there has been a somewhat surprising interest among Kantian theorists in the moral standing of animals, coupled with a no less surprising optimism among these theorists about the prospect of incorporating animal moral standing into Kantian theory without contorting its other attractive features. These theorists contend in particular that animal standing can be incorporated into Kantian moral theory without abandoning its logocentrism: th…
