4. Dissertation Topic
The intimate enemy? Assessing cosmopolitan conceptions of global distributive justice
Abstract
The impetus of the project is a disappointment with the low relevance of normative theories in providing guidance to tackle real-world problems. Assuming that the low relevance persists because of the impossibility to determine 'who is right', the dissertation aims to enter the meta-ethical discourse on how to justify normative theories. Once criteria for assessing the plausibility of normative theories have been developed and defended, these shall be used to assess prominent cosmopolitan approaches to global distributive justice. The rationale behind this is the hope that the better a normative theory can be shown to be justified, the more we are justified and willing to adjust real-world policies to it.
