Each chapter explores the limits and possibilities of effective ethical reasoning in the current political and intellectual climate. This entire volume is driven by the thought that we need to develop an ethical vocabulary that can make critical judgements while responding to the challenges of anti-foundationalism, pluralism and multiculturalism.
An ideal new multi-disciplinary volume for students and scholars of philosophy, contemporary political theory, and international relations.
This volume offers key insights into the work of the chief figures in the contemporary debate surrounding thin universalism and presents a usefully themed contribution to the secondary literature on the work of Onora Oa (TM)Neill, John Rawls, Michael Walzer, Martha Nussbaum, Stuart Hampshire and others as well as a commentary on contemporary debates surrounding human rights and distributive justice. This new book enables the reader to strongly grasp all the core debates in contemporary normative theory.
