Moral expertise without moral elitism
Bioethics, 2022AbstractSkepticism about ethical expertise has grown common, raising concerns that bioethicists’ roles are inappropriate or depend on something other than expertise in ethics. While these roles may depend on skills other than those of expertise, overlooking the role of expertise in ethics distorts our conception of moral advising.

Moral emotions underlie puritanical morality
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2023Abstract Fitouchi et al. illustrate the cognitive and evolutionary foundations of puritanical morality, while leave the emotional foundation unclear. We complement their theory by proposing moral emotions (e.g., guilt and shame) as characteristic emotions underlying puritanical morality.

Common Knowledge, 2010
The field of “science studies” has often been suspected of dubious moral grounds because of its intensive concern with nonhumans; the accusation is made by those who use a roughly Kantian definition of what it is to occupy the moral high ground. By evaluating four contrasting texts (by Comte-Sponville, Kant, Serres, and Lovelock) in tandem, this ...

with respect to questions of fact, people use heuristics – mental short-cuts, or rules of thumb, that generally work well, but that also lead to systematic errors. people use moral heuristics too – moral short-cuts, or rules of thumb, that lead to mistaken and even absurd moral judgments. these judgments are highly relevant not only to morality, but to

Descartes' morals are often considered a marginal epiphenomenon not only with respect to his metaphysics, but also in regard to the ethical theories that preceded and followed it, that is, broadly Aristotle's eudaimonism, Kantian deontologism and Mill's utilitarianism.

Moral dilemmas and moral rules
Cognition, 2006Recent work shows an important asymmetry in lay intuitions about moral dilemmas.

1996Abstract There are at least two issues that are central to determining whether genuine moral dilemmas exist. The first is whether moral considerations are bound to “run out” in certain situations, leaving an agent with conflicting moral requirements.

Common morality and moral reform
Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics, 2009The idea of moral reform requires that morality be more than a description of what people do value, for there has to be some measure against which to assess progress. Otherwise, any change is not reform, but simply difference. Therefore, I discuss moral reform in relation to two prescriptive approaches to common morality, which I distinguish as the ...

Morale positiva vs morale critica
Materiali per una storia della cultura giuridica, 2014Il saggio esamina alcune ambiguità del concetto di "morale" e ricostruisce criticamente i modi in cui alcuni classici del pensiero utilitarista e analitico hanno cercato di eliminarle. Particolare attenzione è dedicata alle opposizioni "m. positiva vs m. critica", "m. convenzionale" vs "m. in conflitto", "diritto naturale positivo" vs p. di utilità.
