Global Ethics
This course introduces key issues in global ethics. It involves an investigation of what moral issues underlie current debates about international politics and global practices through a study of contemporary philosophical contributions. NB! The course is online.
Among the questions to be considered are the following. How should the burdens of reducing and mitigating climate change be distributed among countries? What moral limits are there on warfare? What is the philosophical foundation of human rights and what obligations do these impose on the international community? And is global democracy a possible and desirable solution to the global challenges we now face?
