A program for "naturalizing" metaphysics, with application to the ontology of events: 1.

Hegel, idealism and God: philosophy as the self-correcting appropriation of the norms of life and thought: Hegel can be said to have taken philosophical idealism to its most extreme point, the point of absolute idealism, and, from the perspective of much contemporary philosophy, this has been enough to damn him. (1) However, an adequate approach to what such a philosophical stance entails, as well as what...; Tags: Aristotle, Berkeley, Cambridge University Press, Critique, Durkheim, E., F., G., God, Hegel, J., Kant, Kantian, Leibniz, Nature, Newton, Nietzsche, Philosophy, Press, Robert, Space, Spirit, W.; Research articles 2007-07-01
Hegel's theory of moral action, its place in his system and the 'highest' right of the subject: 1 INTRODUCTION There is at present, amongst Hegel scholars and in the interpretative discussions of Hegel's social and political theories, the flavour of old-style 'apology' for his liberal credentials, as though--prior to any attempt to engage with the social ethics he proposes--there exists a real need to prove Hegel...; Tags: A., C., Cambridge University Press, Critique, F., Freedom, G., H., Hegel, J., Kant, Kantian, M., Morality, Oxford University Press, Philosophy, Political, Press, R, Responsibility, S., Social, Stewart, W., Wood; Research articles 2007-07-01

In solidarity with the imprudent: a defense of luck egalitarianism: Luck egalitarians hold that inequalities are unjust when they are the outcome of individuals' unchosen natural and social circumstances.
