Advances in Experimental Political Philosophy
Political philosophy asks questions of great importance to our lives, both as individuals and members of political communities: What is justice? What does the state owe to its citizens? Under which conditions are different forms of government likely to be stable? The relevance of empirical research to such questions, however, has been largely underexplored. Introducing experimental political philosophy as a burgeoning field of inquiry, this volume brings together leading scholars using empirical methods to shed light on questions of justice and politics, and encourages them to reflect on the relationship of their methodologies with less empirically-focused approaches. Chapters cover traditio...
Liberal Self-determination in a World of Migration
Liberal Self-Determination in a World of Migration develops and defends a theory for why some children and some adults have a right to citizenship in a liberal state, and why adult citizens have a moral right to design and implement their own immigration arrangements. It also discusses the moral duties that liberal states have in the areas of asylum, family migration, and skilled migration, with surprising implications regarding who exactly has a moral right to be included on a permanent basis in a liberal state.
Oxford Studies in Experimental Philosophy
The new field of experimental philosophy has emerged as the methods of psychological science have been brought to bear on traditional philosophical issues. Oxford Studies in Experimental Philosophy will be the place to go to see outstanding new work in the field. It will feature papers by philosophers, papers by psychologists, and papers co-authored by people in both disciplines. The series heralds the emergence of a truly interdisciplinary field in which people from different disciplines are working together to address a shared set of questions. The inaugural volume is roughly structured into four sections. The first three papers focus on recent developments in moral psychology, a topic that has seen lively debate and a great deal of progress over the last decade. The second section highlights three contributions that bring new methods to moral psychology: formal modeling and special populations. The third section brings together four papers that adopt an experimental philosophy approach to novel topics, including intuitive dualism, generics, joint action, and happiness. And the last two papers provide critical and historical context to the development of experimental philosophy.
The People's Duty
Nili develops a novel conception of 'the people', both as an agent with its own moral integrity, and as an owner of public property. Exploring problems central to present-day politics, this non-technical book will appeal to political theorists, but also to readers in public policy, area studies, law, and across the social sciences.
Oppressive Praise
Oppressive Praise examines the expressions we often use to elevate others, esteem them, and celebrate the things they do. These expressions are a pervasive feature of social life: within families, between friends or colleagues, in institutional settings such as education and employment. Despite this, praise has attracted comparatively little philosophical attention, perhaps because--unlike blame--praise is assumed to be a benefit, an expression of positive appraisal that requires little scrutiny or justification. Jules Holroyd argues that, on the contrary, our practices of praising can be harmful, and implicated in oppression. The book addresses the following key questions: when and why is p...

Faux Feminism
For readers of Hood Feminism and Against White Feminism An incisive examination of why the pillars of feminism have eroded—and how all women, not just the #girlbosses, can rebuild them After over 175 years, the feminist movement, now in its fourth wave, is at risk of collapsing on its eroding foundation. In Faux Feminism, political philosopher Serene Khader advocates for another feminism—one that doesn’t overwhelmingly serve white, affluent #girlbosses. With empathy, passion, and wit, Khader invites the reader to join her as she excavates the movement’s history and draws a blueprint for a more inclusive and resilient future. A feminist myth buster, Khader begins by deconstructing “...
Effective Altruism and the Human Mind
"Humans are more altruistic than one might think. Many of us want to have a positive impact on the world. We donate to charity, volunteer for a good cause, or choose a career to make a difference. Annual US donations sum to $500 billion-about 2% of GDP-and no less than 25% of Americans volunteer for a good cause. People make real altruistic sacrifices on a scale that's often underappreciated."--
