A thought-provoking and essential collection for anyone seeking insight into how we can build a more just and sustainable world.
This book brings together leading international scholars in philosophy, social sciences, and religious studies to reflect on how global problems can be understood and addressed through an ethical lens. As the original scholarship in this volume reveals, the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East; the tensions in East and Southeast Asia and growing global insecurity; the climate crisis and environmental destruction; and the risk for global pandemics and global inequalities all call for action based on globally shared ethical principles and values.
