According to ................., there are no standards of justice that are globally significant.
Answer: C
The view is Thomas Nagel's.
In his essay 'The Problem of Global Justice' (2005), Nagel argued that demands of justice arise only among people who share a sovereign state that coerces them and acts in their name. Since there is no world sovereign, he concluded that there are no globally binding standards of justice, only weaker humanitarian duties. This is the political conception of justice that cosmopolitan writers have answered.
Hobbes said justice depends on a sovereign but wrote of states, not of global justice debates. Rawls extended his theory to the society of peoples in The Law of Peoples, and Julius Stone wrote on justice in a sociological jurisprudence; neither denies global standards in Nagel's terms.
