摘要

This volume collects 17 papers on the ethics and policy of global climate change, all previously published between 1992 and 2013. It also includes a substantial introduction to the papers and a brief appendix, 'Declaration on Climate Justice,'that is a statement of principles drawn up by an organization for which Shue serves as advisor. Very few of these papers offer the brand of extended philosophical analysis characteristic of philosophy journal articles. Only two were published in traditional philosophy journals; one of these (chapter 7) concerns the moral limits of national sovereignty, and the topic of climate change is only briefly touched on; the other (chapter 13) describes Shue's methodological reasons for electing, more than most philosophers, to get'bogged down in empirical details'(p. 18) in the course of providing ethical analysis of a topic. These details are essential, he says, because they define the ethical problem at issue as it actually arises in the real world. Shue claims that philosophers'standard hypothetical examples, ones that have been 'cleaned'so as to focus on a limited number of ethical variables, are not the right scenarios to investigate. Consider a case in which person A is on his way to kill innocent person B, and the only way to stop A is to inflict severe pain on A's leg for an hour. If we ask whether this is a case of justified torture, Shue's response is that it's not torture at all, since it has very few of the features we associated with torture in the real world. For example,'the person on whom the pain is inflicted is not under the complete and indefinite control of the state, she is not being humiliated and demeaned,'etc. (p. 246). Although climate change is once again mentioned only briefly in this chapter, it is included because it helps to explain why so many other papers in the volume are'bogged down'in empirical details. For those are the details that Shue takes to define the ethical problems he's concerned with.
