    The Role of Philosophy in the Contemporary Abortion Debate.Peter Koritansky - 2004 - Christian Bioethics 10 (1):63-68.
    Inspired by Patrick Lee’s “A Christian Philosopher’s View of Recent Directions in the Abortion Debate,” this essay raises the question of how effective philosophical arguments can be in determining the moral status of legalized abortion. On one hand, Christian philosophers have been successful in explaining both the humanity and the personhood of the unborn child, as well as exposing the incoherence of those who would deny the unborn child’s humanity or personhood. Nevertheless, in order to confront the pro-abortion position in (...)

    A Thomistic Analysis of the Hart-Fuller Debate.Peter Karl Koritansky - 2015 - Proceedings of the American Catholic Philosophical Association 89:277-286.
    In 1958, the Harvard Law Review published a now-famous debate between H. L. A. Hart and Lon Fuller regarding the proposed connection between law and morality. Whereas Hart defended a broadly positivist conception of law, Fuller advanced a kind of natural law theory that has greatly influenced judicial interpretation in the United States. This paper examines the debate and provides a commentary in light of the natural law theory of Thomas Aquinas. Whereas it is not surprising that Aquinas would reject (...)

    Is Usury Still a Sin? Thomas Aquinas on the Justice and Injustice of Moneylending.Peter Karl Koritansky - unknown - Proceedings of the American Catholic Philosophical Association:261-269.
    This paper examines Thomas Aquinas’s condemnation of usury. In the first section, the details of Thomas’s teaching are examined with special attention to the so-called “extrinsic titles” discussed in the Middle Ages as qualifications of the moral and legal strictures concerning moneylending. The reminder of the paper examines the particular extrinsic title of Lucrum Cessans (compensation for lost profit), which Thomas rejects, and attempts to square that rejection with other texts implying that compensation for lost profit is a requirement of (...)

  8. The Question of Punishment and the Contemporary Relevance of Thomas Aquinas.Peter Karl Koritansky - 2002 - Dissertation, University of Toronto (Canada)
    Justifying the human institution of punishment has been a central theme in the history of moral and political philosophy. At no time has this been more apparent than at the present, where this question has evoked a great debate between two schools of thought, namely, utilitarianism and retributivism. This thesis firstly attempts to articulate the central questions underlying this debate and to articulate the powerful criticisms each side renders against one another. It is our thesis that, whereas each side seems (...)

    Review of Riccardo Saccenti’s Debating Medieval Natural Law: A Survey. [REVIEW]Peter Karl Koritansky - 2017 - Analecta Hermeneutica 9.
    In this short monograph, Riccardo Saccenti surveys the various and competing interpretations of natural law and natural right from the late Middle Ages through the modern period. As “a survey,” the intention of this book is not so much to advance and defend a central thesis about natural law, but rather to paint a picture of how the various interpreters of natural law have responded to the most important primary texts and to one another. One of the issues with which (...)
