Reason and Emotion in International Ethics (Hardcover)

The study of international ethics is marked by an overwhelming bias
towards reasoned reflection at the expense of emotionally driven
moral deliberation. For rationalist cosmopolitans in particular,
reason alone provides the means by which we can arrive at the truly
impartial moral judgments a cosmopolitan ethic demands. However,
are the emotions as irrational, selfish and partial as most
rationalist cosmopolitans would have us believe? By re-examining
the central claims of the eighteenth-century moral sentiment
theorists in light of cutting-edge discoveries in the fields of
neuroscience and psychology, Renee Jeffery argues that the
dominance of rationalism and marginalisation of emotions from
theories of global ethics cannot be justified. In its place she
develops a sentimentalist cosmopolitan ethic that does not simply
provide a framework for identifying injustices and prescribing how
we ought to respond to them, but which actually motivates action in
response to international injustices such as global poverty."
