The traditional definition of development ethics considers the ''ethical and value questions posed by development theory, planning and practice'' (Goulet 1977: 5). The field parallels the traditional question of ethics ''How ought one to live as an individual?'' by asking in addition ''How ought a society exist and move into the future?'' This interdisciplinary field is well represented by a substantial collection of previously-published articles and papers. The volume illustrates a wide range of academic and practitioner writings on the theories and concepts of development ethics as well as ethical development policy and practice.
