Please excuse redundancies. Because these papers were gathered from widely scattered sources, some ideas and quotations that recur in this collection, did not do so at the original appearance of these papers.

With few exceptions (as noted) these papers have been published or are pending publication, and subsequently transferred to these web pages.  Unlike "hard copy" publications, these papers can benefit from post- publication revision as, indeed, many have.  Also, some papers, free from publishers' space restrictions, are longer than the published versions.

The "Permanent List of Publications" contains titles cited in subsequent work with reference to this website --  and thus with an implied promised that they might be found here.  Accordingly, the titles on this list will remain here during the life of this website.

This is not a complete list.  At last count, The Gadfly has published seventy papers in refereed journals or by invitation.

And now (December, 2004), The Gadfly has just added his complete doctoral dissertation, "Rawls and the Duty to Posterity."  (PDF Format)

Please be advised that copyright restrictions apply to this material.  Use and distribution for educational purposes is hereby granted upon notification to this author.
