Revenge Wars

open access: yesPhilosophy &Public Affairs, Volume 53, Issue 4, Page 344-353, Fall 2025.
ABSTRACT In the wake of widescale deadly attacks, desire and support for military revenge are prevalent.

Toward Noninvasively Imaging pH at the Surface of Implanted Orthopedic Devices in Live Rabbits Using X‐ray Excited Luminescence Chemical Imaging

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 14, Issue 25, September 26, 2025.
Imaging pH in a live rabbit at the surface of a sensor‐coated titanium plate using X‐ray excited luminescent chemical imaging (XELCI). A raster scanning X‐ray beam generates radioluminescence from a spot on the sensor, and the luminescence passes through the tissue and is collected at two wavelengths to determine local pH.

In defense of no one

open access: yesPhilosophy 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 ...

Starting and Stopping Wars

open access: yesPacific 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.

Against “the badness of death” [PDF]

open access: yes
I argue that excessive reliance on the notion of “the badness of death” tends to lead theorists astray when thinking about healthcare prioritisation. I survey two examples: the confusion surrounding the “time-relative interests account” of the badness of

Environmental Just Wars: Jus ad Bellum and the Natural Environment

open access: yesJournal of Applied Philosophy, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 620-638, May 2025.
ABSTRACT War is bad for the environment, yet the environmental ramifications of warfare have not been widely addressed by just war theorists and revisionist philosophers of war. The law and legal scholars have paid more attention to protecting nature during armed conflict.
