human rights and justice can emerge by convergence from a plurality of
moral perspectives, without sacrificing diversity of values. The
approach, "responsible pluralism," has the effect that we as a public
(local or global) can have a widely diverse set of reasons for public
action, even though many of these are not reasons to which you or I
subscribe as individuals. Other topics include good judgment, ethical
credibility, care and neglect, non-maleficence (avoiding harm), and
public reason. The other project is an ethical review of policy
guidelines responding to population displacement that is caused by
development.

The primary goal of Joseph's
research has been to evaluate the adequacy of the instrumental
conception of practical rationality. He focuses on three problems
connected to this conception of practical rationality: 1. The problem
of order. The instrumental conception of rationality has difficulty
explaining two features of social order: cooperation and coordination.
His research has been focused on finding a way of introducing social
norms into the model of practical rationality. 2. The problem of
language. One of the simplifying assumptions of rational choice theory
has been that players not be able to communicate with one another. It
has turned out to be far more difficult than initially expected to lift
this assumption and much of my research to date has been focused on
diagnosing the source of these difficulties. 3. Problems of
belief-desire psychology. Part of his research has involved diagnosing
the connection between instrumental rationality and belief-desire
psychology, since this connection is significantly obscured in the many
recent treatments. His current research will focus, in part, on
developing an evolutionary explanation for economic altruism. His
recent and forthcoming publications include: Communicative
Action and Rational Choice (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2001), The
Efficient Society (Toronto: Penguin, 2001). "Should
