  • ‘Why There Can Be No Truly Kantian Theory of Human Rights’ in Philosophical Foundations of Human Rights, eds. Rowan Cruft and Massimo Renzo (Oxford University Press 2015), pp. 671-91.
  • ‘Can the Innate Right to Freedom Alone Ground a System of Public and Private Rights?’ European Journal of Philosophy 40/3: 60-9 (2012)
