Items related to Global Ethics: Seminal Essays (Paragon Issues in Philosophy)
Synopsis
Global Ethics, along with its companion volume Global Justice, will aid in the study of global justice and global ethical issues with significant global dimensions. Some of those issues directly concern what individuals, countries, and other associations ought to do in response to various global problems, such as poverty, population growth, and climate change. Others concern the concepts that are commonly used to discuss such issues, such as "development" and "human rights." And still others concern the legitimacy of various phenomena that structure the global scene, such as national borders, the institutions of national sovereignty and self-determination, and attitudes such as nationalism and patriotism.
In recent decades, literature on such issues has started to build up in the Western philosophical tradition. Until now, though, no up-to-date sample of this literature has been available to students and other interested parties. These two books, companion volumes sold separately, fill this gap by providing a sample of the best recent work on these themes.

Book Description
Global Ethics, along with its companion volume Global Justice, will aid in the study of global justice and global ethical issues with significant global dimensions.
From the Back Cover
"If you want to read about the most urgent ethical questions facing humanity, you should read about global ethics. And if you read only one book on global ethics, you should read this one. It is an unmatched collection of key essays by very influential authors, which provides a great service not just to academics and students but to a very important cause."
--Paula Casal, Reader in Moral and Political Philosophy, School of Politics and International Relations, University of Reading
"Thomas Pogge and Keith Horton have brought together in one affordable volume some of the most important writings on global ethics that contemporary political philosophy has to offer. Anyone who thinks about the interconnected problems of global poverty and tyrannical rule--whether as a scholar, citizen, or policymaker--will find great value in this collection."
--Arthur I. Applbaum, Professor of Ethics and Public Policy, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University
"These important volumes succeed not only in providing a brilliantly selected collection of essays on global justice and global ethics but also, equally importantly, their trenchant introduction and organizational structure make plain why unjust global institutional arrangements are at the heart of the world's most pressing social and political challenges. These volumes should be of great interest not only to those in the political and philosophical academies but also to anyone committed to reducing global inequities in health and well being."
--Ruth Faden, Wagley Professor of Biomedical Ethics and Director, Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics
