Weltherrschaft und Menschheitsethos&ldquo\; ("Universalism: World Domination and the Ethos of Humanity"). This book presents an attempt at a global history of moral universalism from the so-called Axial Age (800-200 BC) to the present day &ndash\; including the history of colonialism\, fascism\, and communism. My central argument is that the history of the moral demand to take into account the well-being of all people\, and not just those in any sense close to us\, can only be understood in the context of the history of empires\, i.e.\, the struggle for world domination.</p>\n<p>This is the keynote address for the inaugural conference of the Institute of Global Value Inquiry (IGVI).

Material and institutional support is specifically directed to scholars pursuing this research in the Global South. IGVI funds fellowships and research projects\, offer travel grants\, organizes conferences and workshops\, and will soon launch a peer-reviewed\, open-access scholarly journal\, the <em>Journal of Global Value Inquiry</em>.
