    Study Notes

    • Global justice is concerned with how individuals and states should conduct themselves towards others and how international institutions can be restructured for a more just world.
    • It includes issues such as world poverty, immigration, and climate change.
    • Acting morally involves free will, good intentions, and being free from fear or self-interest.
    • Ethical egoism involves pursuing self-interest, but this can be self-defeating and not advantageous for everyone.
    • The theory of moral sentiments suggests that humans desire mutual sympathy of sentiments with others to form moral sentiments.
    • Justice involves negative duties to guard life, property, and promises, while beneficence involves positive duties to improve others' situations.
    • Social justice includes some degree of duties of beneficence for a fair society.
    • Negative duties are more stringent than positive duties.
    • Common sense morality and moral intuition can be balanced with theoretical accounts of moral theories in reflective equilibrium.
    • Identity, patriotism, citizenship, and cosmopolitanism are factors that affect one's sense of attachment and belonging.
    • Different definitions of nation exist: ethnic/cultural/religious vs. manufactured language/history/culture.
    • States create nations based on manufactured elements.
    • Country is an administrative notion of a nation-state bound by ethnicity, language, and culture.
    • Nationality is one's membership of the nation-state as a citizen.
