Reviews

"Boylan makes a daring effort to take on the broad scope of global ethics in a manageable and comprehensive way. His 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
