Why Objectivity Demands a First-Handed Foreign Policy | Scott McDonald

Podcast audio:

Foreign policy is both a political activity and a field of applied ethics. However, the metaphysical and epistemological premises held by theorists and practitioners shape their view of ethics. The lack of an objective view of the world has led to theories and policies that do not support, and are often harmful to, the role of a proper government. However, as Scott McDonald explains, an objective understanding of the global system can lead to a first-handed foreign policy.

Recorded live on June 14 in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024.
