Another Aspect of Persuasive Dialogue

August 19, 2014 /32 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Clinton Wilcox

[Today’s guest post by Clinton Wilcox is part of our paid blogging program.] Oscar Wilde once said, “Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask and he will tell you the truth.” Wilde, of course, lived in the 19th century, born over a century before the internet was merely a […]

The Art of Persuasiveness

August 11, 2014 /98 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Clinton Wilcox

[Today’s guest post by Clinton Wilcox is part of our paid blogging program.] Abortion is an injustice. Pro-life people are passionate about ending it. Those are good things. But they are no excuse for name-calling. Unfortunately, some pro-lifers make really mean and nasty comments toward pro-choice people. This needs to stop and I intend to […]

One Absurd Conclusion of the Pro-Choice Position

June 20, 2014 /79 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Clinton Wilcox

[Today’s guest post by Clinton Wilcox is part of our paid blogging program.] One of the problems with the pro-choice position, aside from the fact that abortion unjustly kills an innocent child, is the fact that it places the will of the parents over the needs of the child, when in fact it should be […]

The Key to Avoiding Red Herrings

June 11, 2014 /22 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Clinton Wilcox

[Today’s guest post by Clinton Wilcox is part of our paid blogging program.] I’m currently reading through a book by John S. Feinberg on modernism and postmodernism*, and he made a claim in his book that I thought would be excellent to share. It’s also a point that I’ve been raising in my presentations on […]

What Makes a Person a Person?

May 15, 2014 /25 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Clinton Wilcox

[Today’s guest post by Clinton Wilcox is part of our paid blogging program.] I have written several articles already giving a robust defense of what a person is. But now I’d like to talk about what I see as a key component to a person. My preferred definition of “person” comes from medieval philosopher Boethius, […]

Post-Debate Reflection

March 31, 2014 /165 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Clinton Wilcox

My debate with Matt Dillahunty has come to an end. If you didn’t get a chance to listen to it, you can do so here. The winner of sporting events is clear-cut; the winner of debates: not so much. What matters are the arguments, and whether the arguments were adequately answered, though other factors can […]

Intrinsic vs. Instrumental Value

February 25, 2014 /14 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Clinton Wilcox

Discussion of the concepts of intrinsic and instrumental value goes back at least as far as the ancient Greeks. It has pretty much gone unchallenged for all that time until the last hundred years or so, but even then there really haven’t been any major challenges to the concept. The concept of human beings as […]

Bodily Rights Arguments, Revisited

February 5, 2014 /72 Comments/in Bodily Rights /by Clinton Wilcox

I’ve recently met a pro-choice blogger by the name of Deanna Young, who runs a blog called Restringing the Violinist. She has written a couple of articles defending the right to refuse argument, one in which she has linked to my article, so I’d like to take the time to respond. Forced blood donation analogy In the first […]

The Spectrum Argument, Round Two

February 3, 2014 /12 Comments/in Personhood /by Clinton Wilcox

So it seems that blogger Bob Seidensticker has decided to respond to my critique of his Spectrum Argument. You can find his original article here, and my rebuttal to it here, as well as Seidensticker’s most recent response here. At the end of his article, he asserts that I have mischaracterized and sidestepped the argument (Seidensticker seems to […]

A Discussion of Capacities and Their Relation to Human Personhood

January 31, 2014 /58 Comments/in Personhood /by Clinton Wilcox

There has been some confusion on some of my articles as to what it means for humans to have an inherent nature as rational agents, so I’d like to take the time now to expound upon just what is meant by an inherent nature, as well as the concept of capacities and what they have […]
