Description
Dr. Steven Daskal • Thomas Pogge has argued that typical citizens of affluent nations participate in an unjust global order that harms the global poor, and that "we" therefore have stringent negative duties to reform the global order and compensate those we have harmed. In this talk, Dr. Daskal engages Pogge's provocative claims. Dr. Daskal is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Northern Illinois University. He has questions about domestic welfare policy, duties to the global poor, and end of life ethics. This talk was recorded Wednesday, September 16th 2015 at Wheaton College.
