PHIL 139 - Global Justice: This course studies “Global justice.” Justice here just names the enforceable part of morality. A moral duty is apt for enforcement just in case those who violate the duty are liable to penalties, so long as the penalties are not disproportionate (so it would be disproportionate, and wrong, to shoot someone who has violated a duty not to steal your milk shake, or your car). The study of global justice is the study of (a) the duties we have to people anywhere on Earth and of (b) the institutions and practices that are morally required. Otherwise put, theories of global justice advance claims about what conditions would have to obtain, for the relationships that people have to other people around the globe to be fair, morally acceptable.
