{"product_id":"global-ethics-and-global-common-patrick-riordan-9781474294263","title":"Global Ethics and Global Common Goods","description":"Patrick Riordan takes a different approach to the questions of global ethics by following the direction of questioning initially pioneered by Aristotle; for him the most basic question of ethics is 'what is the good life'? So in the context of contemporary global ethics the Aristotelian questioner wonders about the good life on a global scale. \u003ci\u003eGlobal Ethics and Global Common Goods\u003c\/i\u003e fills the gap in existing literature caused by the neglect of the topic of the good in global ethics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeginning by outlining answers to questions such as 'what is good?' and 'is there a highest good?' Riordan demonstrates the value of a common good perspective in matters of universal human rights and their institutions and practices, the study of international relations and the construction of global institutions, and debates about global justice between cosmopolitanism, nationalism and economic globalization. Philosophical questions provoked by these debates are identified and pursued, such as the question of a common human nature which seems presupposed by the language of universal rights. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor experienced students of political philosophy and international relations this is a crucial text in the literature exploring the possibilities for politics on a world scale, while the perspective of the common good adds a new and distinctive dimension to current debates on global security and the challenges of managing conflict.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Riordan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 147429426X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474294263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.48d","brand":"Patrick Riordan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47200716423423,"sku":"9781474294263","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_64f02a7c-d32d-40ae-af5a-cb0ad4eceb59.jpg?v=1756787671","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/global-ethics-and-global-common-patrick-riordan-9781474294263","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
