Fisette’s research focuses on the ethical, metaphysical and political w88 online game of early modernists, especially that of David Hume and Immanuel Kant. Taken cumulatively, his work on Hume significantly revises our understanding of key claims in Hume’s metaethics, which are standardly thought to broadcast Hume’s skepticism about the existence of moral facts and moral reasoning. Fisette offers a new interpretation on which Hume is more accurately understood as a quietist who prescinds from his contemporaries’ realism/antirealism and moral psychological debates on the grounds that they are unintelligible. His article on Kant develops a new argument for slavery reparations that takes seriously Black thought and activism on the topic and disarms several supposedly fatal objections to reparations for this historic injustice.
