Sara Protasi: The Philosophy of Envy Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2021. Hardback (ISBN 978-1-316-51917-2), £75. 260 pp
AbstractEnvy is a complex and intriguing emotion that has received too little philosophical attention in recent years. Sara Protasi has come to remedy that gap with an original, thorough and carefully researched monograph that defends the view that envy is not all vicious, that one of its varieties can be fully virtuous, and that it plays an important role in our moral psychology.

When Monitoring Facilitates Trust
AbstractIt is often taken for granted that monitoring stands in some kind of tension with trusting (e.g., Hieronymi2008; Wanderer and Townsend2013; Nguyenforthcoming; McMyler2011, Castelfranchi and Falcone2000; Frey1993; Dasgupta1988, Litzky et al.2006) — especially three-place trust (i.e., A trusts B to X), but sometimes also two-place trust (i.e., A trusts B, see, e.g., Baier1986). Using a case study involving relationship breakdown, repair, and formation, I will argue there are some ways in which monitoring can be conducive to two-place trust, and to instances of three-place trust that are likely to be repeated over t...

Resolving two tensions in (Neo-)Aristotelian approaches to self-control
AbstractA neo-Aristotelian approach to self-control has dominated both philosophy and the sciences of the mind. This approach endorses three key theses: (1) that self-control is a form of self-regulation aimed at desires that conflict with one ’s evaluative judgments, (2) that high trait self-control is continence, which is distinguished from temperance by (a significant amount of) motivational conflict (which the continent person is good at resisting), and (3) that self-control is broad, in that such resistance can be not only direct ( inhibiting or overriding conflicting desires) but also indirect (e.g., preventing con...

Mutual Service as the Relational Value of Democracy
AbstractIn recent years the view that the non-instrumental value of democracy is a relational value, particularly relational equality, gained prominence. In this paper I challenge this relational egalitarian version of non-instrumentalism about democracy ’s value by arguing that it is unable to establish a strong enough commitment to democracy. I offer an alternative view according to which democracy is non-instrumentally valuable for it establishes relationships ofmutual service among citizens by enlisting them in the collective project of ruling the polity justly together which is a self-standing source of value for th...

Digital Self-Defence: Why you Ought to Preserve Your Privacy for the Sake of Wrongdoers
AbstractMost studies on the ethics of privacy focus on whatothers ought to do to accommodateour interest in privacy. I focus on a related but distinct question that has attracted less attention in the literature:When, if ever, does morality require us to safeguard our own privacy? While we often have prudential reasons for safeguarding our privacy, we are also, at least sometimes, morally required to do so. I argue that we, sometimes, ought to safeguard our privacy forthe sake of the possible wrongdoer, in order to prevent the possible wrongdoer from committing a morally defiling act that renders them worse off. I illustra...

If Nudges Treat their Targets as Rational Agents, Nonconsensual Neurointerventions Can Too
AbstractAndreas Schmidt and Neil Levy have recently defended nudging against the objection that nudges fail to treat nudgees as rational agents. Schmidt rejects two theses that have been taken to support the objection: that nudges harness irrational processes in the nudgee, and that they subvert the nudgee ’s rationality. Levy rejects a third thesis that may support the objection: that nudges fail to give reasons. I argue that these defences can be extrapolated from nudges to some nonconsensual neurointerventions; if Schmidt’s and Levy’s defences succeed, then some nonconsensual neurointerventio ns neither harness ir...

Explaining Free Will by Rational Abilities
AbstractIn this paper I present an account of the rational abilities that make our decisions free. Following the lead of new dispositionalists, a leeway account of free decisions is developed, and the rational abilities that ground our abilities to decide otherwise are described in detail. A main result will be that the best account of the relevant rational abilities makes themtwo-way abilities: abilities to decide to do or not to do x in accordance with one ’s apparent reasons. Dispositionalism about rational abilities will be vindicated, since it helps to see why and how these two-way abilities entail an ability to dec...

Confucian Role-Ethics with Non-Domination: Civil Compliance in Times of Crisis
AbstractIn this article, combining the Confucian notion of relationality with the republican principle of non-domination, I will shed new light on the ethics of civil compliance in an emergency situation. More specifically, first, by exploring the culturally biased distinctions between individualism and collectivism in the current debates on ‘pandemic’ nationalism, I will put forward the need for a relationality through which civil cooperation with emergency governance can facilitate the enhancement of both individual freedom and democratic commonality in the long run. Then, by supplementing the moral vision of role-co...
