  Brink's MORAL REALISM: A Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Brink's views are of course very controversial, but their very controversiality is but one more invitation to the book.
Brink distinguishes the thesis of internal moral motivation from external moral motivation and claims that the latter account of the nature of moral motivation is to be preferred.
But if Brink has in mind that the agent is unmotivated, the truth or falsity of this claim rests upon the viability of the distinction I have introduced between the status of a moral consideration and the status of a moral belief.

 In Defense of Preference-Satisfaction Utilitarianism   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Brink claims that it is obvious that these sorts of preferences ought not to be counted in a theory of moral value, and his formulation offers a way to avoid them.
Brink says, "although I sympathize with the claim that the rationality of sacrifice requires compensation, it is not my view that the morality of sacrifice requires compensation" [288].
Brink needs to flesh out which rights trump others in different situations and how they interact with motives, preferences, and social institutions, but all of these can be stipulated and defended on 'intrinsic value' grounds.

 Naturalism in Legal Philosophy
More recent forms of S-naturalism, associated with a revival of a kind of natural law theory defended by David Brink and Michael Moore (among others), applies the “new” or “causal” theory of reference to questions of legal interpretation, including the interpretation of moral concepts as they figure in legal rules.
Unsurprisingly, S-naturalists like Brink and Moore are also moral realists, and also try to give accounts of artifact terms as picking out not “natural kinds” but “functional kinds” (Moore 1992a, pp.

David Papineau has put online his paper "Phenomenal and Perceptual Concepts", forthcoming next year in the Alter/Walter collection Phenomenal Concepts and Phenomenal Knowledge: New Essays on Consciousness and Physicalism.

David has also added a feature that automates the (often annoying) process of accessing restricted online texts via your library, by having users insert relevant information which is then stored in a cookie and used automatically to access those texts.

 Judaism class is helping kids who learn differently to enrich their religious lives (January 31, 2003)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
When 6-year-old David Brink saw a Torah scroll up-close for the first time in his Hebrew school class, he did something few would think to do.
The woman who had brought in the scroll, clinical psychologist Lynda Kravitz, was amused and touched by the unusual way David took an interest in the Torah.
This is especially true of kids like David, who lives in Albany, and the other participants in "Inclusive Jewish Education." The monthly Jewish education series for children with moderate to severe learning difficulties meets at the Berkeley Richmond Jewish Community Center in Berkeley.

 Moral Epistemology [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
David Copp (2000), the reliabilist moral epistemologist whose example this is, wants us to see that the traditional internalist outcome seems preposterous.
David Copp (2000), whose moral epistemic reliabilism we sketched above, conceives his reliabilism as a naturalized moral epistemology, and defends it against several objections, including those we mention below.
For instance, “Cornell Realists,” such as Nicolaus Sturgeon (1989), David Brink (1989), and Geoffrey Sayre-McCord (1988) think that every particular instantiation of the Good can be identified with a natural state of affairs, such as an instance of moral rightness with some act of kindness under a natural description.
