The Sovereignty of Humanity and Social Responsibility for Evil Prevention

Religions, 2021
In this paper, I suggest that James Sterba’s recent restatement of the logical problem of evil overlooks a plausible theistic interpretation of the divine–human relation, which allows for a theodicy impervious to his atheological argument, which boils ...

God and Purported Logical Arguments from Evil and Suffering

New Blackfriars

Victims of the Itaewon crowd crush died twice: The role of justice beliefs (general vs. personal) and fatalism in predicting victim‐blaming

Asian Journal of Social Psychology, Volume 28, Issue 1, March 2025.
Abstract The current study analyzes how the two facets of justice beliefs (GBJW and PBJW) relate to victim‐blaming in a recent man‐made disaster that occurred during the Halloween Festival in Seoul, South Korea.

Revisiting the History of Ornamental Aquaculture in Europe to Understand the Benefits and Drawbacks of Freshwater Fish Imports

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 2, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Ornamental aquaculture and fishkeeping are very popular with millions of enthusiasts worldwide. The number of newly imported fish species for ornamental purposes grew slowly from World War I until the 1980s. It then exponentially increased until now with more than 7900 species and a large number of scientifically undescribed morphotypes.

Premortalism and the Problem of Involuntary Suffering

The Heythrop Journal, Volume 65, Issue 6, Page 629-644, November 2024.
Abstract In a recent article, James Spiegel has suggested ways in which premortalism may bolster the free will defence in response to the logical problem of evil. Building on his presentation, this present article further reinforces the premortalist free will defence whilst also critiquing similarly related defences (such as the necessity of nomic ...

Reconciling the God of Traditional Theism with the World’s Evils

Religions, 2020
Replying to James Sterba’s argument for the incompatibility of the world’s evils with the existence of the God of traditional theism, I argue for their compatibility, using the proposition that God has reasons for permitting these evils.

What is philosophical progress?

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 109, Issue 2, Page 663-693, September 2024.
Abstract What is it for philosophy to make progress? While various putative forms of philosophical progress have been explored in some depth, this overarching question is rarely addressed explicitly, perhaps because it has been assumed to be intractable or unlikely to have a single, unified answer.

Applying parentage methods to detect gravel augmentation effects on juvenile Chinook Salmon recruitment rates

River Research and Applications, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 791-808, June 2024.
Abstract Quantifiable measurement of habitat restoration effects on salmonid reproductive performance is limited, although it is necessary for evaluating whether population responses follow management actions. We investigated using close‐kin mark‐recapture methods to partition restoration effects within standard monitoring metrics of juvenile emigrants

Functional network dynamics revealed by EEG microstates reflect cognitive decline in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Human Brain Mapping, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2024.
In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, both static and dynamic properties of resting‐state EEG microstates were found to be disrupted, indicating abnormalities within the sensory network as well as higher‐order networks. These alterations in microstate properties hold the potential to serve as predictive indicators for symptom progression, particularly in ...
