Pedro P. Serna S.
I took a series of studies in humanities including history, literature, sociology and anthropology before undertaking philosophy as my main area of research in the Javeriana University (Bogotá, Colombia) in the decade of 1990’s. After working in social projects for almost ten years I undertook MA studies in the Universidad del Valle in which I focused my research in Kantian practical philosophy. Presently I am working on my dissertation on global justice under the advisory of Francisco Cortés R, in the Universidad de Antioquia (Medellín, Colombia).
The main ideas I shall develop in my thesis are related to the debate between the political scholar and philosopher John Rawls and the sociologist and philosopher Thomas Pogge regarding to the international distributive justice. In my opinion, both approaches differ with respect to the proper way to analyze the foundations of global justice, but at the same time they are similar inasmuch as the ideas about the function of the liberal state in the task of constructing global justice itself. Notwithstanding this, the problematic issue here is that in order to achieve such goals as the desired global justice it is required to conceptualize a different notion of state than the one adopted by these two thinkers.
