My Take

Charles Beitz belongs to a category of thinker I quietly revere: the person who insists, with rigor, on ideals that offer no personal payoff. As a Princeton theorist who helped build the field of global justice, he argues that fairness should not stop at national borders, an unfashionable claim in an age of self-interest. The Guggenheim and the Academy fellowship are impressive, but they are not what wins me over. What I admire is the stubborn intellectual labor of making a far-reaching ideal stand up to scrutiny. Scholars who quietly redraw the moral map of the world deserve far more attention than they get.

Overview

Charles R. Beitz (born 1949) is an American political theorist known for his contributions to the field of global justice. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in history from Colgate University and advanced degrees in philosophy and politics from the University of Michigan and Princeton University.
