Description
1. Us and Them Global justice seems to be all about "us" treating "them": how should we, the citizens of liberal democracies through our elected governments, approach problems in other societies? What support should we offer to "distant" individuals who suffer from extreme poverty? What should we do about those who want to escape hardship and suffering by becoming our fellow citizens? Do we owe equal respect to conceptions of human rights different from ours? These questions constitute the core of what contemporary philosophers refer to as "the problem of global justice." (1) Yet, though significant, these questions all take an outward look and thus risk missing something even more basic--us. I will argue here that there is such a thing as our problem of global justice, and that it must be both temporally and logically prior to the problem of global justice.
