Moral Repair: Reconstructing Moral Relations After Wrongdoing Margaret Urban Walker Frontmatter More Information
Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-81088-3 - Moral Repair: Reconstructing Moral Relations after Wrongdoing Margaret Urban Walker Frontmatter More information Moral Repair Reconstructing Moral Relations after Wrongdoing Moral Repair examines the ethics and moral psychology of responses to wrongdoing. Explaining the emotional bonds and normative expectations that keep human beings responsive to moral standards and responsible to each other, Margaret Urban Walker uses realistic examples of both personal betrayal and political violence to analyze how moral bonds are damaged by serious wrongs and what must be done to repair the damage. Focusing on victims of wrong, their right to validation, and their sense of justice, Walker presents a unified and detailed philosophical account of hope, trust, resentment, for- giveness, and making amends – the emotions and practices that sus- tain moral relations. Moral Repair joins a multidisciplinary literature concerned with transitional and restorative justice, reparations, and restoring individual dignity and mutual trust in the wake of serious wrongs. Margaret Urban Walker is Professor of Philosophy and Lincoln Professor of Ethics at Arizona State University. She is the author of Moral Understandings: A Feminist Study in Ethics and Moral Contexts; editor of Mother Time: Women, Aging and Ethics; and co-editor of Moral Psychology: Feminist Ethics and Social Theory with Peggy DesAutels. She has published numerous articles in journals such as Ethics, Journal of Human Rights, Metaphilosophy, and Hypatia. -
John Stuart Mill's Sanction Utilitarianism
JOHN STUART MILL’S SANCTION UTILITARIANISM: A PHILOSOPHICAL AND HISTORICAL INTERPRETATION A Dissertation by DAVID EUGENE WRIGHT Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Linda Radzik Committee Members, Clare Palmer Scott Austin R.J.Q. Adams Head of Department, Gary Varner May 2014 Major Subject: Philosophy Copyright 2014 David Eugene Wright ABSTRACT This dissertation argues for a particular interpretation of John Stuart Mill’s utilitarianism, namely that Mill is best read as a sanction utilitarian. In general, scholars commonly interpret Mill as some type of act or rule utilitarian. In making their case for these interpretations, it is also common for scholars to use large portions of Mill’s Utilitarianism as the chief source of insight into his moral theory. By contrast, I argue that Utilitarianism is best read as an ecumenical text where Mill explains and defends the general tenets of utilitarianism rather than setting out his own preferred theory. The exception to this ecumenical approach to the text comes in the fifth chapter on justice which, I argue on textual and historical grounds, outlines the central features of Mill’s utilitarianism. With this understanding of Utilitarianism in place, many of the passages commonly cited in favor of the previous interpretations are rendered less plausible, and interpretations emphasizing Mill’s other writings are strengthened. Using this methodology, I critique four of the most prominent act or rule utilitarian interpretations of Mill’s moral theory. I then provide an interpretation of Mill’s theory of moral obligation and utilitarianism. -

Liberal Feminism Since Alison's Jaggar's Influential Work In
Liberal Feminism Since Alison’s Jaggar’s influential work in constructing a taxonomy of feminist positions, “liberal feminists” have been taken to support a fundamentally libertarian political agenda based on the assumption that formal equality under the law suffices to eliminate male-female inequality and that additional state-supported programs which serve women’s interests, including affirmative action, the provision of child-care, family leave and the like, are unwarranted. In addition, some feminist philosophers suggest that liberal feminists "valorize" masculinity, are indifferent to the devaluation of female-identified work and that one of our fundamental goals is to establish, by a priori methods if necessary, that there are no gender-based psychological differences. These assumptions are false. In fact, many of us who are liberal feminists to the extent that we believe that women’s interests are best served by working toward a state of affairs where the expectations and opportunities for men and women are the same, do not hold these views. I shall argue that the real fault line between liberal feminists and the majority of feminist philosophers who are unsympathetic to this view marks a divergence in our understanding of the causes of gender inequality and, consequently, disagreement about the priorities of feminist political action. Male-Female Differences I recently discovered, to my surprise, that my work was cited as an example of the anti- feminist backlash, in paper by Keith Burgess-Jackson that appeared in Keith Burgess-Jackson misconstrues my position on two counts. First, he suggests that, ignoring empirical data, I dogmatically assert that there are no innate psychological differences between men and women. -

Introduction Peggy DesAutels and Joanne Waugh We offer this volume as a contribution to the ongoing conversa ti on th at goes under the name of "feminist ethics." This conversati on took an exciting and interesting turn recently at the Feminist Ethi cs Revisited Conference; many of the essays in this volume articulate ideas and analyses first presented there. 1 The term feminist ethics was used broadl y at this conference- as it is again here-to refer to the perspectives on women's experience that come into view at the intersections of ethics, politi cs, philosophy, and li terature. Earlier generati ons of philosophers-both male and female-have fo und that the experiences of women fit neither easily nor neatly into the ca tegori es fa vored by traditional, mainstream philosophy. That the dominant discourse of philosophy still strains to accommodate women's experi ences has prompted feminist philosophers to go beyond the usual boundaries, especiall y in ethics. -
