  • Cosmopolitanism and Nonhuman Animals ANGIE PEPPER
    Beyond Anthropocentrism: ANGIE PEPPER Cosmopolitanism and Nonhuman Animals Abstract: All cosmopolitan approaches to global distributive justice are premised on the idea that humans are the primary units of moral concern. In this paper, I argue that neither relational nor non-relational cosmopolitans can unquestioningly assume the moral primacy of humans. Furthermore, I argue that, by their own lights, cosmopolitans must extend the scope of justice to most, if not all, nonhuman animals. To demonstrate that cosmopolitans cannot simply ‘add nonhuman animals and stir,’ I examine the cosmopolitan position developed by Martha Nussbaum in Frontiers of Justice. I argue that while Nussbaum explicitly includes nonhuman animals within the scope of justice, her account is marked by an unjustifiable anthropocentric bias. I ultimately conclude that we must radically reconceptualise the primary unit of cosmopolitan moral concern to encompass most, if not all, sentient animals. Keywords: Global justice; cosmopolitanism; nonhuman animals; sentience; relational and non-relational; capabilities approach • Introduction All cosmopolitan approaches to global distributive justice are premised on the notion that individuals are the primary units of moral concern. Specifically, most mainstream cosmopolitans consider these individuals to be genetically human. That is to say, cosmopolitans tend to view only humans as the proper subjects of justice and deal only with justice as it applies to inter-human relationships. However, as I will demonstrate, the omission

  • Social Justice Within the Westphalian Nation-State Or at the Global Level?
    Social justice Within the Westphalian nation-state or at the global level? Author: Sander Scheer BSc-Thesis International Development Studies Supervisor: dr.ir. Kees Jansen Date: February 2011 Wageningen University Table of contents Abstract 2 Introduction Clarification of the basic concepts 4 - Social justice - Globalization Research question 6 The scope of organizing social justice Nationalists views 7 - John Rawls 7 - David Miller 10 - Omar Dahbour 12 Cosmopolitan views 16 - Charles Beitz and Brian Barry 16 - Thomas Pogge 19 Conclusion and the implications of the debate Justification 23 Conclusion 23 Principle of subsidiarity 27 Bibliography 30 1 | P a g e Social justice Within the Westphalian nation-state or at the global level? Abstract A research within the all-embracing scientific field of global justice has showed me that the core of this field, since its origin beginning of the 1970s, in fact comprises a debate – between cosmopolitan scholars on one side of the spectrum and nationalistic scholars on the other side – about the desirable scope to reach it. Whereas cosmopolitans think that global justice should be reached outside the borders of the Westphalian nation-state, the nationalistic scholars argue until this day that the state has some crucial characteristics, which makes it the only suitable level on which global justice can be reached. Within the light of a more and more globalized world order – focussing on concepts like social justice, Westphalian nation-state, and sovereignty - this thesis will examine arguments from both sides of the field. Because of the comprehensive character of the field of global justice, my main challenge will be to maintain my demarcation and accordingly to get an insight into the most appropriate scope to organize and eventually reach social justice on a global scale.
