Toward a “strong” normativity of fear in Hans Jonas and Aristotle

The Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract What does it mean to say that one “ought” to undergo an emotion?

Journal of Research in Education Sciences

Friendship in the New Political Theologies

Modern Theology, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 686-707, July 2026.
Abstract As a distinct academic discipline, political theology rose and fell with Carl Schmitt. If there was any hope of redeeming it, the discipline would have to be entirely renewed. A deep‐seated and understudied feature of that renewal lies in the reconceptualisation of the political relation.

The Heythrop Journal, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 278-288, May 2026.

In the Beginning was the Work: Donald MacKinnon’s Metaphysics after Lenin

Modern Theology, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 210-236, January 2026.
Abstract Donald MacKinnon expressed a distinctly realist and actualist metaphysic. One aspect of his metaphysics that is less frequently commented upon, however, is his reception of Vladimir Lenin. While not an unqualified admirer of Bolshevism, it is readily apparent that MacKinnon incorporated elements of Lenin’s philosophy and theories regarding ...

Noûs, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 851-872, December 2025.
Abstract A new argument is offered which proceeds through epistemic possibility (for all S knows, p), cutting a trail from modality to Millianism, the controversial thesis that the semantic content of a proper name is simply its bearer. New definitions are provided for various epistemic modal notions.
