  • Basic Moral Values: A Shared Core [Abstract] | Frances V. Harbour | 12/03/1995
    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.
  • The Uses of Tragedy: Reinhold Niebuhr's Theory of History and International Ethics [Abstract] | Thomas W. Smith | 12/03/1995
    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.
  • Evaluating Democratic Progress: A Normative Theoretical Perspective [Abstract] | Brad R. Roth | 12/03/1995
    Roth argues that much of the current discourse on the diffusion of democratic norms is misleading and that only a realistic assessment of the progress of societies in transition will focus attention on the problems that remain to be solved.
  • International Deontology Defended: A Response to Russell Hardin [Abstract] | Thomas Donaldson | 12/03/1995
    Donaldson argues that agreeing with Hardin to banish deontological justifications from international discussion amounts to abandoning the power of deontology to interpret political intent and to establish hard limits on political behavior.
  • International Deontology [Abstract] | Russell Hardin | 12/03/1995
    Hardin discusses the forms that moral reasoning might take—from rationalist actor theory to Kantian proceduralism to ad hoc Kantianism—and the relation of Kant's dictum to the institutional nature of much of international affairs.

    LaBerge examines the ethical positions of Rawls, Kant, John Walzer adapted from J. S. Mill, and Canadian philosopher Howard Adelman are, and writes that they constitute "an ethics of human rights, ethics of the right to a historical community, and an ethics of peace."
  • Nuclear Proliferation and Nuclear Entitlement [Abstract] | Steven P. Lee | 12/03/1995
