Analytic Philosophy, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 224-237, September 2026.ABSTRACT According to the Divide & Conquer (DC) strategy (Fogal and Risberg 2020) for explaining moral supervenience, the modal covariation between moral and natural properties can be partly explained by appeal to pure moral principles.

Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, Volume 107, Issue 2, Page 86-98, June 2026.ABSTRACT External world skepticism is often thought to entail that we should suspend judgment about the existence of the external world.
