Bhikhu Parekh - Global Ethics (UCSB Global Studies Colloquium)

Bhikhu Parekh - Global Ethics Almost all societies today are bound into a system of interdependence. They face common problems which they cannot tackle on their own. The current wave of the corona virus proves the point with abundant clarity. The question therefore is how societies should cooperate and develop the necessary spirit of global solidarity. This is only way human beings can avoid being reduced to playthings of the forces they have themselves created and charter them in the service of common purposes. Human solidarity in turn presupposes a set of common moral and political principles to guide collective action, in short, a global ethics grounded in a universal consensus. Global ethics is not just a new name for the traditional discussion of universal morality, but rather a set of normative principles addressed to and guiding institutions. That raises the question of how such an ethics can be developed and institutionally articulated. This lecture addresses three important and interrelated questions raised by globalization. First, the dialectic of globalization and the ways in which it both negates and reinforces national identity and consciousness. Second, global solidarity and how it is possible in the face of class division and national conflicts. Third, global ethics and especially how it is arrived at, validated and translated into appropriate policies.
