Jon Mandle is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the State University of New York at Albany (State University of New York).
"Like strong cosmopolitans, Mandle endorses a universalistic
conception of human rights. Against them, he defends the widely
assumed moralsignificance of national borders - appealing not to
common language, culture, history, or sentiments, but to shared
citizenship in a state. This is a clear and promising attempt to
explain and develop some deeply held and widely shared intuitions
about justice."
Thomas Pogge, Professorial Research Fellow, Centre for Applied
Philosophy and Public Ethics, The Australian National
University
"A compelling argument for an internationalist position that
recognizes the independence of nations and the fundamental
significance of social and political relations, yet which imposes a
vigorous duty to assist disadvantaged
peoples to enable all to exercise a broad range of human rights.
Mandle sympathetically responds to cosmopolitans’ concerns without
surrendering the field to cosmopolitan critics of the priority of
social and political justice."
Samuel Freeman, Professor of Philosophy and Law, University of
Pennsylvania
