WORKS IN PROGRESS: “Vicarious Apologies as Moral Repair” (under revision) Apologies are key components of moral repair. They can identify a wrong, express regret, and accept culpability for some transgression. Such elements of typical apologies can vindicate a victim’s value as someone who was due different treatment. This paper explores whether third party involvement is consistent with vicarious apologies that might fulfill various apologetic functions. I argue that such vicarious apologies must satisfy an authorization requirement. Acts that do not fulfill this requirement will not be vicarious apologies. Some might not be apologies at all. Acts that satisfy this requirement can create or restore moral relations based on a commitment to the significance of the moral statuses of the involved parties. Apologies as Reparations – This book manuscript will build on some of my recent work on reparations. It will explore how and whether apologies can serve as a form of moral repair for historic injustices, despite determinacy and nonidentity problems. Chapters tentatively to

Andrew I. Cohen, CV 10/15, p. 4

include: Ideal Theory, Nonideal Theory, and Reparative Justice; Reparations and Counterfactuals; Collective Apologies; Apologies and Distributive Justice; Apologies and the Ethics of Memory; Specifying a Baseline in Moral Repair; Apologies and Global Justice. “Reasons, Humor, Fitness” – D’Arms and Jacobson warn against the “moralistic fallacy,” which holds that moral considerations bear on judgments of fitness about being amused. Some recent critics argue that it need not be fallacious for moral considerations might nevertheless enable or disable various reasons for having certain evaluative responses. I argue that such conditions do not intrude on fitness but are instead only relevant to judgments about whether or not it is morally acceptable to find something amusing. “Apologies and the Thickness of Victims’ Skins” – Some corrective justice theorists hold that apologies can be claimed or owed by justice. It is unclear, however, whether and how justice should govern apologies, especially given the variability in avowed demands and needs for them. Some victims move on, some ruminate in anger, some withdraw in despair. We often hold that wrongdoers take victims as they find them and must compensate for the damages they cause. This paper explores whether the same holds for apologies. SELECTED OTHER PUBLICATIONS: 2014 “Introduction” (with Christopher Heath Wellman), to Contemporary Debates in
