CAN HISTORY ABSOLVE? CAN HISTORY JUDGE?

open access: yesHistory and Theory, Volume 64, Issue 3, Page 319-337, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Appealing to history, rather than to God, to provide an ultimate judgment about human actions can have a justificatory or consolatory function. The former grants proleptic absolution for acts that may be morally dubious because of their benign consequences, while the latter enables victims in the present to gain a measure of relief by ...

THE OTHER DEMOSTHENES. ON POSSIBLE FORMS OF PHILIATION BETWEEN ECOLOGY AND PHILOLOGY

open access: yesGerman Life and Letters, Volume 78, Issue 3, Page 380-393, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Beginning with the oratorial askesis of Demosthenes and its use of nature as a tool for the amplitude and clarity of the human voice as a ‘Vexierbild’, this article suggests that the appropriation of philology to serve a particular end (rather than being an end in itself) risks repeating the very injustice that ecocritical discourses are ...

Quietist Elements in Adorno

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Philosophy, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 700-720, June 2025.
Abstract In this article I take a closer look at Adorno's methodology, and specifically the question of how – in Adorno's view – philosophy ought to be done. In this, my aim is to see whether there might be ‘quietist’ elements in his methodological account, i.e. the meta‐philosophical position of quietism as it stands against (scientific) naturalism in

Nabokov's Dystopia: Bend Sinister, America and Mass Culture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
“I am as American as April in Arizona,” Nabokov claimed in a 1966 interview. Although he repeatedly emphasized his American citizenship and the affection he held for his adopted nation, my argument is that his 1947 novel, Bend Sinister, offers us an ...

What is (the) matter with climate litigation? Law, nature, and the limits of legal technique

open access: yesJournal of Law and Society, Volume 52, Issue 2, Page 159-180, June 2025.
Abstract This article examines how nature is mediated by law in climate cases. In the Federal Court of Australia decision in Minister for the Environment v. Sharma (2022), the court applied a narrow definition of ‘matter of law’ (justiciability), and thereby negated ‘matter in law’ (such as carbon dioxide and ecological destruction).

Law and conspiracy theory: sovereign citizens, freemen on the land, and pseudolaw

open access: yesJournal of Law and Society, Volume 52, Issue 1, Page 34-56, March 2025.
Abstract This article examines the ‘sovereign citizen’ and ‘freemen on the land’ movements and the operation of ‘pseudolaw’. Against a predominant judicial, governmental, and academic approach that portrays sovereign citizen beliefs as ‘irrational’ and ‘nonsensical’, I argue that such beliefs should be understood in terms of conflicts within the socio ...
