Research Interests and Activities.

1. Central issues in philosophy of mind: intentionality, the nature of concepts, the ownership of thoughts, action explanation, physicalism, reductionism, and the nature of persons.

2. The history of philosophy: most particularly the medieval period (especially Aquinas) and the influence of scholasticism in metaphysics, philosophy of mind, and value theory; and eighteenth century responses to scepticism (especially Reid).

3. Theoretical and normative issues in social and political philosophy, ethics and aesthetics: including liberalism (its varieties and rivals), the nature and justification of education, the (im)permissibility of killing; and the natural and built environments.

4. Artistic, educational, and theological issues: approached through the methods of those disciplines rather than through philosophy. For example, the role and forms of art and spiritual education, the sources and function of doctrine.

6. Practical Philosophy (Imprint Academic, 2009).

(St Andrews Studies in Philosophy & Public Affairs).

'What resources can philosophy bring to bear, when its
enquiries are not theoretical, but practical? In Practical
Philosophy John Haldane answers this question in a
brilliant survey of key issues, showing us how a variety
of theories can obscure or distort our view of the practical
realities of life, family, and society. With admirable clarit
he also shows us how philosophy can rescue us from such
theorizing.' — Alasdair MacIntyre

‘In Practical Philosophy, John Haldane eloquently makes
the case for an approach to ethics that is distinctively practical
— thought with a view to action (as contrasted with theoretical
thought that might possibly be applied to the domain of action).
Taking his inspiration from a tradition thatiincludes Aristotle,
Aquinas, and Elizabeth Anscombe, Haldane argues that an
orthodox dichotom has long dominated both philosophical and
everyday thinking: we must be either dualists or material
reductionists. Both of these alternatives, however, neglect a
subtle approach to intentionality and agency offered by the
Aristotelian tradition. Haldane uses his illuminating approach to
advance arguments on a number of controversial moral and
political issues: the status of the foetus, the importance of the
family, compensation for victims of crime, the basis of human
solidarity across national boundaries. Although his conclusions
are frequently controversial, Haldane always avoids polemics
and the ideological parti pris, thus giving a welcome example of
respectful and civil public argument.’ — Martha Nussbaum

'In Haldane's Practical Philosophy one sees a philosopher well
aware of current work in his field but determined to recover both
the prior social reality and the substantive conception of the good
which have to be in place before abstract notions of duty, right o
moral obligation can be rooted in anything' — David Wiggins.

7. Reasonable Faith (Routledge, 2010)

'Carefully argued and engagingly written, John Haldane's
essays are examples of genuinely humane philosophy.
Unlike much of the work currently being produced in the
anglophone philosophical world, they are informed by a
broad historical understanding, and display  a clear moral
vision of the role of philosophy and its place in our
intellectual culture'  - John Cottingham

'John Haldane's essays are each impressive in their
own right, for clarity, insight and argument. Taken together
they undermine the assumption of many contemporary

philosophers, that it is possible to pursue systematic philosophical

enquiry without  having to engage with religious questions.

Haldane uses philosophy to put philosophy to the question'

- Alasdair MacIntyre

'John Haldane is outstanding among contemporary thinkers
for the instructiveness of his exposition of Catholic philosophical
themes and the cogency of his argumentation in their support The
present collection of essay displays his lucid insight into a wide
range of compelling topics.  No one who reads these essays will
come away without having his thoughts stimulated, his sympathies
broadened, and his spirits lifted' - Nicholas Rescher
