Journal of Applied Philosophy, Volume 43, Issue 1, Page 112-127, February 2026.ABSTRACT Despite being strong, arguments for animal rights often fail to motivate.

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 111, Issue 2, Page 676-695, September 2025.Abstract According to the Wrong Restriction, we are liable to defensive harm only when we threaten to wrong others. While attractive on a first pass, we argue that plausible philosophical claims make the Wrong Restriction difficult to accept. In its place, we offer the Impermissibility Restriction, according to which one is liable to defensive harm ...

Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, Volume 106, Issue 2, Page 96-106, June 2025.ABSTRACT If a warring side may fight in pursuit of an aim up to some proportionality‐respecting limit, then an important question is whether that side is morally required to stop fighting when it reaches that limit, despite not yet having attained its aim.
