The Morality and Global Justice Reader cover

This cutting-edge volume of original essays features a diverse, international team of prominent scholars examining issues of morality and justice within a global perspective. The chapters are grouped according to an integrative design that progresses from normative principles to normative theories to normative applications. Applications chapters address current significant and provocative topics such as poverty and the global economy; global health; religion; war; and gender, identity, and family. Distinguished philosopher and volume editor Michael Boylan provides a unifying introduction to each section. In addition, an abstract and list of key words provide readers with an informative entry into each reading. An engaging resource for all students of philosophy and politics, The Morality and Global Justice Reader not only offers an essential foundation of global justice and its policy implications, but also aims to inspire readers to positive action for change.

"This is an important book with newly written state-of-the-art papers on all aspects of global justice. It will be an invaluable resource for researchers and a good basis for undergraduate and postgraduate courses. If you really want to know where the research frontier is today you need to buy this book!" -Professor Soren Holm, Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Medical Ethics "The unusual breadth and richness of this collection make it a distinctive addition to the burgeoning literature on global justice. Prof. Boylan's expansive interests and good taste have resulted in a volume with a surprising number of novel and interesting contributions." -David Wasserman, Director of Research, Center for Ethics at Yeshiva University
