Evaluating Democratic Progress: A Normative Theoretical Perspective [Abstract] - 12/03/95

International Deontology [Abstract] - 12/03/95

Author(s): Russell Hardin
 
 
International Deontology Defended: A Response to Russell Hardin [Abstract] - 12/03/95

Author(s): Thomas Donaldson
 
 
Basic Moral Values: A Shared Core [Abstract] - 12/03/95
Without some form of objectivity, Harbour argues, there is no firm grounding other than taste for criticizing whatever constitutes another culture's values, or even for reforming one's own—and there is no firm grounding for moral objections to someone such as Hitler or Idi Amin.
Author(s): Frances V. Harbour
 
 
The Uses of Tragedy: Reinhold Niebuhr's Theory of History and International Ethics [Abstract] - 12/03/95
As Smith points out, Reinhold Niebuhr's political ethic is closely linked to his philosophy of history. This view of history blends a dualistic understanding of human nature and rigorous contingency of experience - all sobered by a creative sense of tragedy.
Author(s): Thomas W. Smith
