Some publications and working papers this year

I appreciate the many blog readers who also read my scholarly writing–it has been one of the best things about the blog for years that it has been a vehicle for sharing my work with other faculty and students across many fields.   In that spirit, here are publications–or working drafts–that I made available this year:

"The Case Against Free Speech" appeared in Sydney Law Review.

"Legal Positivism about the Artifact Law," forthcoming in an OUP volume on Law as Artifact.

"Theoretical Disagreements in Law: Another Look," forthcoming in an OUP volume on Ethical Norms, Legal Norms:  New Essays in Metaethics and Jurisprudence.

"Philosophy of Law," co-authored with Michael Sevel, in the Encyclopedia Britannica (if you can't access the whole essay, google "philosophy of law," it should come up as a top result and you can get the whole essay that way)

"The Paradoxes of Public Philosophy," in the inaugural issue of the Indian Journal of Legal Theory.

"Why Tolerate Religion, Again? A Reply to Michael McConnell," a working paper (but citable) at SSRN.  (McConnell is a leading conservative religious liberty advocate and law professor at Stanford)

"Reply to Five Critics of Why Tolerate Religion?", part of a symposium on my book published by Criminal Law and Philosophy this year.

A revised version of "The Death of God and the Death of Morality," which will eventually appear in a special issue of The Monist on Nietzsche.

"Moralizing Nietzsche's Moral Psycology: The Case of Katsafanas," which also appears at Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews.

"Moralities are a Sign-Language of the Affects," appeared in 2013 in Social Philosophy and Policy, but I was now able to make the published PDF available on SSRN.

There were actually a couple of other papers I wrote this year that I could not put on SSRN, alas–though hopefully, like the last paper, I will be able to post them in the future after publication.
