APPLIED MORAL AND POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY
On this page I list papers about environmental ethics, animal ethics, pornography, deterrence, and cost-benefit analysis. If a PDF of a paper is password protected, the password is "copp". There is some overlap between the papers listed on this page and papers listed elsewhere.
See also my work on secession.
Some of my papers on justice are also applied, including a paper on slavery.
Also of interest are my papers on democracy, including a paper on capitalism versus democracy.
My papers in political philosophy also include essays on specific applied topics.
