WORK IN PREPARATION AND FUTURE RESEARCH PLANS
I have five major research projects, most of which I would hope to complete in the next seven to ten years.
First, I am writing, with Piers Rawling, a book on agent-relativity, consequentialism, and deontology, drawing on and developing the position sketched in our articles.
Second, once I have finished editing Butler’s Sermons, I plan to write a book on his moral and religious philosophy.
Third, I am writing, with Eve Garrard, a series of essays which develop a theme in the work of Iris Murdoch. We are looking at moral concepts which have figured centrally in religious thought with the aim of seeing, among other things, what sense can be made of them in a secular context. So far we have written papers on hypocrisy, forgiveness, and humility, and are planning further ones on (amongst other things) shame and guilt, degradation, and love. These papers are rather in the manner of attempts at Socratic definition, so an important element in our work will be a defence of a modified version of that tradition. We plan on developing our thoughts in this area into a series of articles or books on the ‘religious’ virtues.
Fourth, I plan to write, with Eve Garrard, a book that explores and defends C.S. Lewis’s contribution to philosophy, which has long been scorned or simply neglected by academic philosophers.
14
Fifth, I plan to write a book on Richard Price an important, but currently neglected, 18th Century moral philosopher.
