ABSTRACT
Denis Goulet (1931-2006) was probably the main founder of work on ‘development ethics’
as a self-conscious field that treats the ethical and value questions posed by development
theory, planning and practice. This overview of a selection of papers presented at a
conference of the International Development Ethics Association (Uganda, 2006) surveys
Goulet’s work and compares it with issues and approaches in the selected papers. Ideas
raised by Goulet provide a framework for discussing the set of papers, which especially
consider corruption, professional ethics and the rights to water and essential drugs. The
papers in turn provide a basis for comparing Goulet’s ideas with actual directions of work on
development ethics. Rather than as a separate sub-discipline, development ethics takes shape
as an interdisciplinary meeting place, aided though by the profile and intellectual space that
Goulet strikingly strove to build for it.
