The Legitimacy of International Human Rights Regimes
This book traverses the disciplines of law, political philosophy and international relations in assessing the normative legitimacy of international human rights regimes.
Immigration and Discrimination
Immigration and Discrimination explores what bases states are morally permitted to use for their admission decisions and policies, and why. Sahar Akhtar argues that the idea of wrongful discrimination can be applied to states' admission decisions, and what this means in terms of states' rights with regard to immigration.
Poverty, Solidarity, and Poor-led Social Movements
This book rejects familiar ethical framings of problems of poverty and inequality, arguing that they have produced apolitical solutions that ignore the demands of poor organizations and movements. Deveaux argues that normative thinking about poverty should engage with the insights and goals of "pro-poor" activists in order to develop action-guiding norms that better align with their justice claims. Defending the idea of a political responsibility for solidarity, she shows how nonpoor outsiders--individuals, institutions, and states--can help to advance a radical anti-poverty agenda by supporting the efforts of these movements.

Intellectual Virtues and Education
With its focus on intellectual virtues and their role in the acquisition and transmission of knowledge and related epistemic goods, virtue epistemology provides a rich set of tools for educational theory and practice. In particular, characteristics under the rubric of "responsibilist" virtue epistemology, like curiosity, open-mindedness, attentiveness, intellectual courage, and intellectual tenacity, can help educators and students define and attain certain worthy but nebulous educational goals like a love of learning, lifelong learning, and critical thinking. This volume is devoted to exploring the intersection between virtue epistemology and education. It assembles leading virtue epistemol...
