December 2023 Table of Contents Newsletter - Search Tips / JSTOR Text Analyzer
Students are in final paper-writing mode - and this often means researching to find the best sources with which they can engage. While library instruction sessions often help with general overviews of resources, there are so many more tools and strategies that most students (and staff/faculty) don’t discover.
In this month’s newsletter, we’ll highlight a couple of the ones that the librarians really like using. Try them out, and come tell us about your own search tips and tricks
A solution, and a problem, for veritism
Veritists maintain that true belief and only true belief is of fundamental epistemic value. They very often go on to derive epistemic norms based on considerations about what promotes this value. A standard objection is that many truths are pointless: there is no value in believing them. In response, veritists often distinguish between significant and insignificant truths, holding that the former are much more valuable (perhaps even incomparably more valuable) than the latter. But critics cry foul: veritists who say this give up on their claim that it is true belief per se that is of fundamental epistemic value. In this paper I evaluate this dispute by comparing it to the well known dispute over J.S. Mill’s doctrine of higher and lower pleasures. I conclude that the veritist can escape the objection, but that the escape route breeds a new, and different problem
Gender, Sexuality and Marriage in The Routledge Companion to John Wesley
Wesley failed to knit together his ‘moral psychology’ with his views on gender. His approach to marriage was conflicted. He thought marriage as a form of restraint for sexual desire was useful, similar to the ways reason governs passion so that the object or subject of our passion does not become an idol; but marriage could also distract from piety and ministry and was therefore an institution to be entered into only if necessary. His view of gender was hierarchical, inherited partially from his childhood, household education through Susanna. His inherited moral psychology was rooted in ‘gender dualism’ and a hierarchical view of reason’s authority over the passions in pursuing the moral goal. However, after his Aldersgate experience, his thinking started to shift on moral psychology. He came to see that rather than subduing the passions, the rational and emotional dimensions of human life must be integrated in order to form holy tempers. Wesley never resolved the theological tension between this shift and his hierarchical (authoritarian) view of gender, sexuality and marriage. However, by doing so today, people encounter not only a more consistent ‘Wesleyan mind’, but also one supportive of loving relationships that have been excluded from traditional categories
The Psychopath Challenge to Divine Command Theory: Reply to Flannagan
Erik Wielenberg has presented an objection to divine command theory (DCT) alleging that DCT has the troubling implication that psychopaths have no moral obligations. Matthew Flannagan has replied to Wielenberg’s argument. Here, I defend the view that, despite Flannagan’s reply, the psychopath objection presents a serious problem for the versions of DCT defended by its most prominent contemporary advocates — Robert Adams, C. Stephen Evans, and William Lane Craig
