This is done through a critique of Peter Singer's thesis of one world. Appreciating that he has introduced a new dimension to the discussion on globalisation, certain limitations in his argument are analysed in the spirit of taking forward the discussion on an important theme. It is contended that we live in one world and at the same time in many worlds. Human beings as Singer argues are more connected today than ever before; we are at the same time divided by our partial views, interests, legacies and fears. This brings the agenda of a global ethic to the forefront with all the complexity that is involved. Some of the issues concerning this complexity are discussed.engWith permission of the license/copyright holderglobalizationbusiness ethicsEconomic ethicsBusiness ethicsEthics of economic systemsConference proceedings
