Críticas:

'The most helpful book I have seen on the new field of global ethics. A survey and extension of current work that tries to rethink ethics in and for a globalized world, it occupies a fruitful middle ground that links the experiences and concerns of thoughtful practitioners, citizens and activists to the careful reasoning of philosophers.' Des Gasper, Institute of Social Studies, The Netherlands 'As an emerging field in Applied Philosophy, Political Science and International Relations, Global Ethics needs a specification of its nature and scope. This volume admirably fulfils this role by defining the unique ethical challenges that globalisation has engendered and by reminding us of the moral resources for meeting these challenges that are inherent in our humanity.' Stan van Hooft, Deakin University, Australia

Reseña del editor:

This much-needed volume represents all that is new in the field of global ethics. It recognizes the emergence of the search to move beyond relativism and the study of ethical aspects of globalization, acknowledging aspects of globalization that make ethical reasoning itself a challenging task. As such the young field of global ethics is a search for new approaches and methodologies that go beyond existing ones and succeed in addressing these ethical issues of globalization. This volume presents these new developments, focusing specifically on how to re-conceive ethics in order to come to grips with ethical and political life today. It sets out an agenda for the field of global ethics, addresses the critiques and illustrates the rapprochement of global ethics. This is a valuable collection of essays that connect theoretical innovation with substantive issues in the public realm and hence is suitable for a wide audience across philosophy, politics, international relations and development studies.
