II—Refugees, Safety, and a Decent Human Life

In this paper, I explore how engaging with refugee voices might contribute to more nuanced and informed philosophical responses to refugee movements. I also highlight a common methodological approach in political philosophy and propose that there are virtues in rethinking it. The common approach assumes that first ‘we’ need to settle ‘our’ views about the requirements of justice, and then apply these fixed ideas to questions about migration and other such topics. Instead, I ask what might happen if that order is revised.
