Recenzii
Donahue brings fresh insights to normative global justice debates. Arguing that unjust social and political structures make everyone unfree in myriad, insidious ways, Donahue shows why the moral case for opposing global inequalities and harms need not depend on ineffective appeals to charity or the elusive prospect of global class struggle. Instead, the inescapably subjugating effects of systems of exploitation and domination-even for putatively free citizens of liberal democracies-may supply a central and hitherto missing piece of the moral motivational puzzle
In this wide-ranging book, Donahue seeks grounding for the old idea that while anyone is oppressed, no one is free. He finds it in the argument that structural injustice subjects us all to arbitrary power. Ambitious in scope and carefully argued, Unfreedom for All marks a significant contribution to the philosophical literature on oppression.
Unfreedom for All offers a compelling diagnosis of contemporary global injustices and prescriptions for overcoming them. Assuming only the familiar libertarian notion of negative freedom, Donahue powerfully shows that oppression harms us all; it is literally true that 'no one is free unless everyone is free'. Hence we all have reason to struggle for emancipation. Deeply insightful, this book should reset the terms of debate in normative political theory. It is also beautifully written and accessible. A tour de force
