In Progress
A paper on contractualism and the question of acceptance. It proposes a new contractualist answer to this question, supplementing Scanlon’s concern for ‘mutual recognition’.
A paper on moral optionality. It challenges the claim that when agents take on optional, non-negligible burdens to do good, they are required to secure a greater rather than a lesser good.
A paper on maximization. It argues that positing that individuals are valued for their own sake is at odds with also affirming a pro tanto duty to maximize the good.
