متن يادداشت
Over the past 20 years, global ethics has come to be conceived in different ways. Two main tendencies can be distinguished. One asks from whence global ethics comes and defines ?global ethics? as arising from globalization. The other tendency is to ask whither global ethics must go and thus defines ?global ethics? as a destination, namely arriving at a comprehensive global ethic. I will note some types of discussion that may have been wrongly excluded from the scope of global ethics by one or the other. In addition, I take notice of recent debates and concerns about risks that global ethics may become a neocolonial activity. These concerns raise a further conceptual question. Should ?global ethics? be defined in a normative fashion, so as to exclude neocolonial approaches that may be damaging to the credibility of global ethics? In response to these alternatives ? whence vs. whither, descriptive vs. normative ? I will propose a middle way. I begin by defining ?global problems? as those that will cause harm in the absence of crossborder cooperation. In a descriptive sense, any ethical statements about global problems should be included within the scope of global ethics. On the other hand, I will propose a more specific normative conception of the central task of global ethics: seeking reasonable and responsible agreement on global problems, agreement based on possibly diverse moral grounds.
