Work in progress

A paper about ingratitude (R&R)

Directed Nonduties (draft). Directed duties are not the only kind of directed normative considerations.

Quality of Will: Expression or Possession? (draft). Perhaps we can be blameworthy for actions that express objectionable attitudes even when we lack those attitudes.

Participant Respect (draft). There’s a previously ignored form of moral respect, “participant respect,” which involves due concern for people as bearers of duties to others.

A paper about value concretism (still thinking). The fundamental bearers of value are things (e.g., particular people) rather than states of affairs; we can see this if we pay close attention to how our valuing attitudes work.
