Projects


Forthcoming Projects:

My “Egoism in Nietzsche and Rand” is scheduled to come out in The Journal of Ayn Rand Studies late in 2009. Here is the abstract: “Philosophers Friedrich Nietzsche and Ayn Rand are often identified as strong critics of altruism and arch advocates of egoism. In this essay, Stephen Hicks argues that Nietzsche and Rand have much in common in their critiques of altruism but almost nothing in common in their views on egoism.”

The third edition of our Readings for Logical Analysis, co-edited with David Kelley, is to be published by W. W. Norton & Co. in 2010.

Kaizen interviews with Ray Stata (December 2009), Judy Estrin (February 2010), and John Chisholm (April 2010).

Current Projects:

Book reviews of Kevin Gibson’s Business Ethics (Cambridge, 2008), Donald Frey’s America’s Economic Moralists (SUNY Press, 2008), Robert Bradley’s Capitalism at Work (M & M Scrivener, 2008), and Kenneth Blanchard’s anthology on Darwinian Conservatism (Imprint Academic, 2009).

I am working with director Christopher Vaughan and artist Michael Newberry on a documentary project on the modern and postmodern art worlds. The working title is But Is It Art? An Irreverent History of Modern Art. Fascinating aesthetic and philosophical stuff. Completion date: Don’t ask.

My longer-term book project, The Fate of Art Under Capitalism, is about three-quarters done. (I miss my sabbatical already.)
