On Deontic Truth and Values

open access: yesCrítica (México D F En línea), 2017
This article analyzes the thesis of ethical relativism, as defended by Alchourrón and Bulygin (1983). These authors offer, on the one hand, a suggestive conception according to which the question “what are our obligations?” is equivalent to thinking about what is to be done; on the other hand, they defend a relativist conception of ethics.

No Guide to Ground: Right‐Making and Right‐Makers

open access: yesNoûs, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 606-618, September 2026.
ABSTRACT It is often taken for granted that right‐makers, that is, the things that make something—say, an action—right, do so by explaining why it is right. This view can be spelled out in terms of metaphysical ground: right‐making just is grounding of rightness facts.

Normative Experience: Deontic Noema and Deontic Noesis

open access: yesPhenomenology and Mind, 2017
What is a norm? A. G. Conte replies to this question by enumerating five possible referents of the word norm (§ 1.). Focusing on the fifth referent, the “deontic noema”, I raise the question (§ 2.): How is the deontic noesis of a deontic noema to be understood?

External‐World Skepticism and the New Ethics of Belief

open access: yesPhilosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 113, Issue 2, Page 285-297, September 2026.

Some external‐world skeptics deny that I know my loved ones exist; some claim that my belief that my loved ones exist is epistemically impermissible. However, abandoning this belief would be highly unattractive.
