Comments Policy

For most posts on this blog, comments are turned off by default. For reasons why this is the case, and with which I largely agree, see this blog post at Bioethics Bulletin. I will open comments on individual blog posts when I explicitly desire feedback on something I have written. Those comments will be moderated; irrelevant, abusive comments will be sent to the circular file.

I welcome intelligent and constructive feedback, however, and I think of email as the best medium for this. (For some examples of people who agree and their reasons why, go here and here.) Click on over to the Contact page and send me an email.

Thanks for your understanding.

ISUS XII 2012 at New York University

I'm pleased to report that I'll be presenting my paper, "Demandingness, Fairness, and Promoting the Good: Modifying the Collective Principle of Beneficence" at the 12th annual meeting of the International Society for Utilitarian Studies, August 8-11, at New York University. I'm greatly looking forward to this event.

The Washburn Philosophy Club hosts Don Marquis

Yesterday, the Washburn Philosophy Club (WPC) hosted its first guest speaker from off campus. Don Marquis (Kansas) was kind enough to talk to Washburn students and some of the faculty about his famous paper, "Why Abortion is Immoral" (Journal of Philosophy 86 (1989): 183-202). It's a very good thing that WPC has enough regular members to start bringing in outside speakers, and I hope this can continue.
