Its scope covers the questions "why do we need a global ethic?", "what kind of global ethic do we need and what sort of normative justification does it imply?" The book considers the imperative of global ethic to be plausible because it demands consistency in the application of the rule or standard of moral behavior. 606 $aPhilosophy, African 606 $aEthics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPhilosophy, African. 615 0$aEthics. 676 $a170 676 $a170.96 700 $aOkeja$b Uchenna B.$f1983-$0959947 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452679003321 996 $aNormative justification of a global ethic$92175699 997 $aUNINA
