Morality and Global Justice by Michael Boylan
In this concise, single-authored text, renowned scholar and professor Michael Boylan examines the moral justifications underlying key global justice issues and provides students with the analytical tools to approach those issues critically. Introductory chapters establish a thorough but accessible foundation in theory and moral justification, and subsequent chapters apply those concepts to key areas of global concern: poverty; public health; race, gender, and sexual orientation; democracy and social/political dialog; globalization; the environment; war and terrorism; and immigrants and refugees. For easy reference and review, each chapter includes key terms, critical applied reasoning exercises (CARE), and problems and thought experiments perfect for class discussions or writing exercises. The appendix (Getting Involved) guides students in putting ethical principles to work.
"Boylan makes a daring effort to take on the broad scope of global ethics in a manageable and comprehensive wayHis introduction of the worldview imperatives in this context is imaginative and offers a way of engaging students while holding them accountable for their views." -Robert Paul Churchill, George Washington University "Morality and Global Justice meets the challenge of combining traditional ethics and moral theory with contemporary global concerns ... an excellent introduction for undergraduates and an engaging review for more advanced scholars." -Naomi Zack, University of Oregon
