The world we live in is unjust. Preventable deprivation and
suffering shape the lives of many people, while others enjoy
advantages and privileges aplenty. Cosmopolitan responsibility
addresses the moral responsibilities of privileged individuals to
take action in the face of global structural injustice. Individuals
are called upon to complement institutional efforts to respond to
global challenges, such as climate change, unfair global trade, or
world poverty. Committed to an ideal of relational equality among
all human beings, the book discusses the impact of individual
action, the challenge of special obligations, and the possibility
of moral overdemandingness in order to lay the ground for an
action-guiding ethos of cosmopolitan responsibility. This
thought-provoking book will be of interest to any reflective reader
concerned about justice and responsibilities in a globalised world.
Jan-Christoph Heilinger is a moral and political philosopher. He
teaches at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat, Munich, Germany, and at
Ecole normale superieure, Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
