Starting from Kant's striking question 'What is orientation in
thinking?', this book argues that the main challenge facing global
normative theorising lies in its failure to acknowledge its
conceptual inadequacies. We do not know how to reason globally;
instead, we tend to apply our domestic political experiences to the
global context. Katrin Flikschuh argues that we must develop a form
of global reasoning that is sensitive to the variability of
contexts: rather than trying to identify a uniquely shareable set
of substantive principles, we need to appreciate and understand
local reasons for action. Her original and incisive study shows how
such reasoning can benefit from the open-ended nature of Kant's
systematic but non-dogmatic philosophical thinking, and from
reorientation from a domestic to a non-domestic frame of thought.
It will appeal to all those interested in global moral issues, as
well as to Kant scholars.
