    The Aesthetic Appreciation of Ruins 

    Scarbrough, Elizabeth Anne
    It is the goal of my dissertation to explain our peculiar aesthetic fascination with architectural ruins and to show why ruins are worthy of our time and aesthetic appreciation. I propose a model of aesthetic appreciation specific to ruins, one that not only presents a methodology of interpreting and evaluating ruins, but ...

    Blaming Appropriately 

    Moskalik, Janice
    I argue for an account of blame as a reactive attitude, claiming that respectful blaming attitudes are affective, evaluative attitudes of disapproval directed at the wrongdoer, and are primarily about the wrongness of the attitudes or actions at issue. Understanding blame as, primarily, a form of moral address, entails that ...

    Beyond the Basic/Nonbasic Interests Distinction: A Feminist Approach to Inter-Species Moral Conflict and Moral Repair 

    Emmerman-Mazner, Karen S. (2012-09-13)
    There is no longer a dearth of well-reasoned argumentation for taking animals seriously and thus for questioning our exploitative relationships with them.

Thus philosophers who are interested in the moral status of jealousy face a challenge: to explain how, ...

    Exploitation is an important concept in moral and political philosophy. There is an increasing focus on exploitation as an important concept that limits how clinical research is conducted. Yet, there is disagreement at nearly every level regarding the source of wrongness of exploitation, its connection to injustice, and the ...

    Love in Descartes' Metaphysics and Moral Philosophy 

    Tate, Melanie
    I argue for an account of René Descartes’ theory of love that is deeply rooted in his metaphysics and heavily influences his moral philosophy. Descartes maintains that the soul “join[s] itself in volition” to those it loves (AT XI: 387; Voss: 62). The main aim of my dissertation is to explain what it means to join oneself ...

    Constructing and Being Constructed: Relational Trans Identity and Responsibility for Microaggressions 

    Sumpter, Sam
    This project centers on the question: Given the everyday and structural dynamics of gender oppression, how should we treat others’ genders in our everyday interactions with them, particularly given that those everyday interactions are often subject to or structured by disputed meaning? To address this question, I focus on ...
