These are relationships enjoyed by a child and an adult who is neither a mere acquaintance nor integrally involved in that child's care or upbringing. The adult party might, for example, be a visiting grandparent, a neighbour the child likes to help with gardening, or a ‘fun auntie’ who occasionally babysits. After defining company-keeping relationships, I argue that their child-centred value varies significantly across contexts depending on how the adult party relates to the child and on the needs of the particular child. In some contexts, they promote the child's capacity for independent agency and mitigate undue shame. When these goods arise, it is not despite but because of the fact that the adult party is an outsider to routine family life and is not responsible for the child's ‘training’. I then investigate whether such relationships should be protected or promoted to respect children's rights of association. While I conclude that most company-keeping relationships are excluded from these rights, I defend the more modest view that a child can be morally wronged by a parent who severs or prevents them from forming company-keeping relationships.</p>","PeriodicalId":47057,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Philosophy","volume":"43 4","pages":"1034-1052"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/japp.70107","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148696163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While a first generation of scholarship has focused primarily on identifying principles for allocating the remaining carbon budget, less attention has been devoted to the practical questions that arise once such principles are expected to guide collective action. Our contribution proposes a second generation of carbon budget studies that complements distributive concerns with a distinctly applied-philosophical focus on policy design, public reasoning, institutional implementation, and legal accountability. This article outlines the framework that the subsequent three contributions examine through the lenses of policy feasibility, philosophical expertise in public decision-making, and climate litigation. Shaping the symposium presented here, they argue that the future of carbon budget research lies not only in determining what justice requires in distributive terms, but also in understanding how normative commitments can be justified, translated into policy, contested, and enforced under conditions of increasing urgency, political disagreement, and institutional constraint.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47057,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Philosophy","volume":"43 4","pages":"877-886"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148696477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While framed legally, climate litigation appeals to the idea of climate justice, understood as involving a set of independent moral standards to be met in the face of climate change. Yet, legal argumentation relies only on intuitive accounts of climate justice, while philosophical debates rarely assess how climate justice standards could be integrated into legal reasoning. This paper bridges this gap by asking what kind of legal argument can best satisfy minimum normative requirements of climate justice for mitigation, while remaining tenable within established legal structures. We begin by evaluating an argument present in influential climate litigation cases such as Urgenda and Neubauer, the <i>two-thresholds legal argument</i>. This argument affirms that going below certain levels of mitigation action constitutes a breach of the state's duty to protect human rights and that countries should thus increase their mitigation efforts to avoid human rights violations. However, we argue that this argument is flawed and thus different alternatives should be sought. After considering a human-rights based argument, we conclude that a principles-oriented argument satisfies better minimum requirements for climate justice. We provide some examples of legal principles that could help this argument find a legal foothold.</p>","PeriodicalId":47057,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Philosophy","volume":"43 4","pages":"931-954"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/japp.70108","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148696484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its distributional impacts can also trigger strong opposition from the public. This has led many economists to argue in favor of recycling the proceeds of carbon taxation back to the citizens as an equal per capita dividend. This may increase its social acceptability, but is it fair? In this article, I examine two ethical cases for carbon dividends. First, it may be argued that people are entitled to equal shares of the revenue from carbon pricing by virtue of the common ownership of the Earth's absorptive capacity. Second, one may argue that carbon pricing imposes unfair burdens on individuals and that its impacts should therefore be rectified by recycling the proceeds as carbon dividends. However, I show that both arguments raise the problem of isolationism: they fail to adopt a broader perspective on the distribution of the overall package of costs and benefits. By contrast, I sketch what an integrationist defense of carbon dividends could be, based on the consequences of carbon pricing and revenue recycling for the overall situation of individuals.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47057,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Philosophy","volume":"43 4","pages":"887-905"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148696532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In some cases, these frames can have prejudicial effects; for example, ‘workplace flirting’ versus ‘sexual harassment’. This article examines how specific words and phrases (i.e. lexical frames) may anchor oppressive social practices. That is, by enabling a coordinated ‘way of looking’ at the world, these lexical frames may stabilise cognitive and affective habits that perpetuate wider forms of social coordination, including oppressive practices. I examine how representational resources may become imbued with, and thereby replicate, ideological distortions. I subsequently show that this has important consequences for attempts to address hermeneutical injustice. When one attempts to fill a hermeneutical lacuna by baptising some previously obscured target, one may thereby frame the target in a distorting way. Specifically, one may replicate the distorting frame which anchors the oppressive practice one seeks to resist. Moreover, distorting frames may be especially appealing precisely because of their compatibility with the dominant ideology which offers a mistaken sense of understanding. I argue it is thus crucial to attend to the role of lexical frames in ameliorative projects.</p>","PeriodicalId":47057,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Philosophy","volume":"43 4","pages":"1014-1033"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/japp.70106","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148696290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, I provide a conceptual analysis of emotional affairs. In my view, emotional affairs are defined as extrarelational connections that (a) take on a pattern of intimacy that mirrors the intimacy present in a relationship whose emotional structure is presumed to be exclusive, (b) involve a sustained consideration of being engaged in a relationship that mimics the original with the affair partner, and (c) involve a form of deception, asymmetry, or relational opacity – whether by omission, strategic withholding, etc. – that disrupts mutual transparency between relata. While the primary aim of this article is to establish a conceptual account of what emotional affairs are, I recognize that it is worth considering (and gesture at some preliminary considerations) that emotional affairs might not always be morally problematic. That is, identifying whether and how emotional affairs are wrongful is not always clear. Thus, I close by briefly sketching some preliminary reflections on their potential wrongfulness by pointing out a few morally salient features that might warrant further analysis in future work.</p>","PeriodicalId":47057,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Philosophy","volume":"43 4","pages":"997-1013"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/japp.70105","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148696164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
