** New Publication ** "Constructivism" The goal of this chapter is to bring these two literatures together, clarify what bearing constructivism might have on moral arguments for God, and offer a preliminary line of criticism of constructivist approaches.

"That’s when I started thinking about what might be called “neglected virtues.” They are neglected in the sense that academics were not writing on them. They are neglected also in the sense that they are rarely possessed in society in general." from my Book Q&As with Deborah Kalb

Had two great conversations about the new book, The Honesty Crisis, this week. Got to think about some new cases, like AI generated work emails and a stranger pressing you for information about sexual behavior. Discussions of honesty can go in so many different directions! Episodes out in May.
