Reason and Emotion in International Ethics

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'This innovative book establishes the foundation for what could be called 'sentimentalist cosmopolitanism'. Challenging the rationalist assumptions that underpin much of cosmopolitan thought, Renee Jeffery convincingly argues that reason and emotion are intrinsically linked as well as essential to both decision making and ethical judgement.' Roland Bleiker, University of Queensland 'Renee Jeffery has both recovered a long lost emotional underpinning to international ethics - in Hume and other sentimentalist scholarship - and with her perceptive analysis and arguments, offered insights that may reinvigorate debates about justice and inequality. This is a rich and interesting book that just might help us make the world a better place.' Neta Crawford, Boston University 'Jeffery's book is clear and readable, and some sections may be appropriate for advanced undergraduates ... it will appeal mostly to scholars and graduate students with an interest in ethics and global poverty.' M. W. Sontag, Choice 'It essential reading for scholars concerned with questions of ethics or motions within International Relations, as well as the intersections between the natural and the social sciences.' K. M. Fierke, International Studies Review
