Tuttle, Howard N. | Philosophical genesis of ideal types | The conception of ideal types as a method of the synthesis of sociohistorical phenomena was introduced by the German philosopher Wilhelm Dilthey (1883-1911). However, this fact has been largely ignored in the literature. That he was the originator of this notion is, I suppose, of only historical in... | Philosophy;; Social Sciences | 1980 |

Battin, Margaret P. | What are the potential cost savings from legalizing physician-assisted suicide? | IN the Washington v. Glucksberg and Vacco v. Quill decisions rejecting a constitutional right to physician-assisted suicide, the Supreme Court allowed each state to decide whether to legalize the intervention.1 In state legislatures rather than courtrooms, factual claims about the probable extent ... | | 1998 |

Francis, Leslie | Roles of the family in making health care decisions for incompetent patients | This article is about the roles of the family in making health care decisions for incompetent patients. It argues that complex moral reasons call for the participation of families in decision making for incompetents.

Francis, Leslie | Virtue and the American family: abortion and divorce in Western law by Mary Ann Glendon | Abortion and Divorce in Western Law is seductive and dangerous. It is seductive because it is half right; it is dangerous because it is half wrong on many levels: the data assembled about abortion law, the comparative law methodology employed, and the conclusions drawn for American public policy abo... | Abortion and divorce in American law; Book review; Glendon, Mary Ann | 1988 |

Crowe, Benjamin D. | On the track of the fugitive Gods: Heidegger, Luther, Holderlin | At each of the decisive turning points in his philosophical career, Heidegger found inspiration in Holderlin. More recently, commentators have raised questions about the role that his reading of Holderlin played in Heidegger's political actions of the 1930s.

Landesman, Bruce M. | Physician attitudes toward patients | An 8-year-old child with a minor head injury is brought in to the emergency department and is judged by the physician to be completely normal.

Hanna, Patricia Lee | What might speakers '"Tacitly know"? | The theory of innate ideas, as revived by certain developments in transformational grammar, has been the subject of extensive discussion.

Thalos, Mariam G. | Systems | Dynamical-systems analysis is nowadays ubiquitous. From engineering (its point of origin and natural home) to physiology, and from psychology to ecology, it enjoys surprisingly wide application. Sometimes the analysis rings decisively false-as, for example, when adopted in certain treatments of hist... | | 2009 |

Battin, Margaret P. | Cases for kids: using puzzles to teach aesthetics to children | Nothing stupefies kids (I have in mind young people, though the same is true of many adults) as quickly as long-winded, jargon-filled, highly abstract theoretical discourse, especially when it seems to have no immediate utility. Kids like fun. They like play; they like games; they like challenges an... | Aesthetics; Education; Children; Puzzles | 1994 |

Francis, Leslie | Justice through trust: disability and the Outlier problem in Social Contract Theory | The article focuses on the flaws of the social contract theory.

Battin, Margaret P. | Assisted suicide: can we learn from Germany? | As the United States' public discussion of euthanasia and assisted suicide grows increasingly volatile, our interest in the Netherlands--the only country that openly permits the practice of euthanasia--has grown enormously. How do they do it? we ask. What drugs do they use? How many cases of euthan... | Assisted suicide; Netherlands; Right to die | 1992 |

Mallon, Ronald | 'Race': normative, not metaphysical or semantic | In recent years, there has been a flurry of work on the metaphysics of race. While it is now widely accepted that races do not share robust, biobehavioral essences, opinions differ over what, if anything, race is. Recent work has been divided between three apparently quite different answers. A varie... | | 2006 |

Battin, Margaret P. | False dichotomy versus genuine choice the argument over physician-assisted dying | Despite a growing consensus that palliative care should be a core part of the treatment offered to all severely ill patients who potentially face death,1 challenging questions remain. How broad a choice should patients have in guiding the course of their own dying? What limitations should be placed ... | | 2004 |

Francis, Leslie | Accommodating every body | This Article contends that workplace accommodations should be predicated on need or effectiveness instead of group-identity status. It proposes that, in principle, "accommodating every body" be achieved by extending Americans with Disabilities Act-type reasonable accommodation to all work-capable me... | | 2014-01-01 |

Downes, Stephen M. | Importance of models in theorizing: a deflationary semantic view | It is commonly acknowledged in science that model construction is one of the most important components of theorizing. Philosophers of science are gradually coming to acknowledge this situation, spurred on by holders of the semantic view of theories. In this paper I wish to defend a very deflationary... | Theories; Mathematical; Scientific | 1992 |

Millgram, Elijah | Private persons and minimal persons | It's a commonplace that privacy can now be abridged and abdicated in ways that weren't routinely possible until very recently. I want here to draw attention to an alternative configuration of the mind that these techniques make available, which I will call the minimal person. My explication of minim... | | 2014-01-01 |

Landesman, Bruce M. | Health care in a national health program: a fundamental right | Do or should Americans have a right to health care or some appropriate level of it? To explore this difficult and complex question, we must say something about rights and ways to justify them; about considerations which favor a right to health care; about what level and kind of care the right may in... | Health care; Rights; Americans | 1992 |

Battin, Margaret P. | Irony of supporting physician-assisted suicide: a personal account | Under other circumstances, I would have written an academic paper rehearsing the arguments for and against legalization of physician-assisted suicide: autonomy and the avoidance of pain and suffering on the pro side, the wrongness of killing, the integrity of the medical profession, and the risk of... | | 2010-08 |
