Abstract: Despite occasional inconsistency, Locke’s considered position on the right to revolution is that individuals in political society have no liberty to revolt against a tyrannical government unless a majority of their fellow citizens concurs in their judgement of tyranny. In a recent paper, Massimo Renzo (2020) takes an equivalent position, on which a revolutionary vanguard requires the consent of the domestic majority before being permitted to revolt. Against Locke and Renzo, I shall argue that even a solitary individual can have a liberty to revolt, whatever the domestic majority may hold.

Abstract: Elizabeth Anscombe’s 1957 book Intention is probably the most important essay in the philosophy of action in the twentieth century, even if it is not (as Donald Davidson generously declared) the most important since Aristotle. The principal idea expounded in the book is that we can define intentional action by means of the concept of a reason, instead of defining it in terms of volition or the will. I shall discuss the relationship between acting intentionally and acting for a reason, and Anscombe’s conception of this relationship in Intention.

Abstract: Despite the heavy weight of the past deliberations and decisions, temporally structured agents, such as we are, conceive of themselves as free to revise and alter their plans, free to come to terms with the claims of the past, and free to question whether past commitments still provide compelling reasons for action. Indeed, preserving such a freedom is an ethical and political priority, related to the right to develop a conception of the flourishing life of one’s own. To fully understand freedom to change and develop, we have to take into account temporal constraints on rational agency in ways that have largely escaped current debates. To make sense of normative adjustment, we need a dynamic conception of practical rationality, which draws on a plastic network of normative and cognitive capacities and competences, such as temporally oriented emotional attitudes and meta-cognitive capacities. The resultant view of dynamic self-governance promises a better understanding of diachronic conflicts of value, in contrast to shuffling and radical conversions.

Abstract: If the Mona Lisa, the Sistine Chapel, the sarcophagus of Tutankhamun, or the Sword of Goujian were destroyed, nothing, it is reasonable to think, could replace them. New works of art that are even more impressive may be created, or new artifacts may be discovered, which may replenish the value in the world in amount, but they would not, one might think, replenish it in kind. Works of art, historical artifacts, endangered species, and perhaps even you and me all have irreplaceable value. But just what is irreplaceable value, how is it different from other kinds of value, and why does it matter? I argue that irreplaceable value is a matter of intrinsic value in virtue of unreinstantiable good-making properties, which give rise to reasons to preserve and protect, in contrast to traditional intrinsic value, which is in virtue of reinstantiable good-making properties, and gives rise to reasons to promote.
