    Virtuous Activity Is Sufficient for Happiness and Some Minimally Favorable Circumstances Are Necessary for Virtuous Activity 

    Hole, Benjamin Visscher
    I argue for a nontraditional sufficiency thesis: virtuous activity is sufficient for happiness and some minimally favorable circumstances are necessary for virtuous activity. This view satisfies two intuitions from the ancient dispute that might at first seem in tension. Happiness depends on favorable external circumstances, ...

    Intelligent Automaticity in Moral Judgment and Decision-Making 

    Ferrin, Asia
    Is conscious reflection necessary for good moral judgment and decision-making? Philosophical attention to this question has increased in the last decade due to recent empirical work in moral psychology. I conclude that conscious reflection is not necessary for good moral judgment and decision-making, arguing that good moral ...

    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.

    Immigrant Oppression and Social Justice 

    Reed-Sandoval, Amy Jennifer
    My dissertation provides a partial response to the question of what is owed by states to undocumented migrants in their territory.

I contend ...

    States tend to be the centerpiece of International Relations theory, as they are commonly considered the primary actors of international relations. As such, states are commonly analyzed as intentional beings that act on their own reasons, based on their own beliefs and desires. This treatment of states as intentional entities ...

    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 ...

    Intertheoretic Relations in Context: Details, Purpose, and Practice 

    Ricci, Joseph Thomas
    An intertheory comparison should be assessed with regards to what goals it seeks to accomplish. Traditionally reductions have sought to establish ontological primacy, and also to have the reducing theory explain features of the reduced. From a functionalist perspective, this dissertation assesses three major results: a reduction ...

    A Leap into Darkness: Domination and the Normative Structure of International Politics 

    Smith, Patrick Taylor (2013-11-14)
    Philosophers have developed sophisticated theories of domestic legitimacy that discuss how a coercive state could be justified to its citizens. Yet, theorizing about global justice is characterized by a pervasive methodological failure: principles of justice are presented without any consideration of whether the current (or ...
