About
As a moral philosopher, my academic research focuses on normative questions in moral psychology. In my view, our ethical reflection should extend beyond what we do and encompass how we feel. Once it does so, moreover, the modern moral dogma that we owe everyone respect invites interrogation. My own interrogations lead me to conclude, among other things, that contempt for a person may be morally justified; that we may owe those I dub our moral enemies less than we do mere strangers; that the love most worth wanting is a response to the content of our character; and that extirpating hatred is a luxury of privilege.
