Academic Interests

Higher education and employment history

Thomas Pogge  was raised in Germany. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University with a dissertation supervised by John Rawls, and has previously held appointments at Columbia University. Pogge has written extensively on political philosophy, especially on Rawls, Kant, global justice and extreme poverty. His work has been categorized as belonging, along with that of Charles Beitz and Henry Shue, to the "first wave" of work on global justice. His book World Poverty and Human Rights (second edition, Polity 2008) is widely regarded as one of the most important books in that area. What makes this work distinctive is the emphasis on negative duties rather than on the duties to aid and protect stressed by Peter Singer and Shue. According to Pogge, the more affluent worldwide have a stringent duty of justice to help eradicate global poverty primarily because such poverty is foreseeably and avoidably reproduced by a global institutional order to whose design or imposition they contribute.
