My paper ‘Animal Rights, Moral Motivation, and the Experience of Wonder’ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... has just been published at @the-joap.bsky.social In it, I argue for fostering a sense of wonder at individual nonhuman animals, & for making this the basis of a reverence-based respect.

Animal Rights, Moral Motivation, and the Experience of Wonder

🚨Paper🚨 What is social constructionism about race?

Philosophers of race usually treat constructionism as a theory about what exists. This misses something important: race constructionism is a practice - a way to investigate human activities.

How are they dichotomous?

Lucia C. Neco (Luba) @luciacneco.bsky.social · Sep 10

Subjective is a really bad word, I agree. The idea here is to eliminate both subjective and objective concepts in discussions about social behavior. But before I had to show how they are interconnected.

[NEW PAPER] In "Beyond Dichotomies", I challenge the false dichotomy between subjectivity and objectivity in human social relationships. I show how they are both biological and social, using kinship research as an example. I’d love to hear your thoughts!
