Features: "Development" raises an ancient philosophical question: What is a good life? What is the foundation of social life? What stance should humans take toward nature? Development ethics has recently become a new field of research and action, demanding increased attention to social issues. The ethical strategies proposed in this book stem from the development practices of different countries and the author's own experience as a development ethicist. The basic research method used is phenomenological analysis, which reveals the implicit and latent values and anti-values embedded in the policies, programs, and projects proposed and implemented by development practitioners.
