American philosopher who has worked on conditional obligation, practical reasons, and moral psychology — arguing that emotions play a genuine rational role in moral reasoning.
Argued against purely cognitive theories of practical rationality: emotions are appropriate or inappropriate, not just present or absent — they have a normative dimension that makes them part of rational deliberation. Contributed to the analysis of conditional obligations.
