Denis Goulet

Denis Goulet (27 May 1931 – 26 December 2006) was a human development theorist and a founder of work on ''development ethics'' as an independent field of study. Goulet's definition of Development Ethics is that it is a field that examines the ethical and value questions related to development theory, planning, and practice. He sought to synthesize insights from philosophy, policy practice, and anthropology to better understand development ethics.

Goulet was a professor emeritus in the Department of Economics and Policy Studies at University of Notre Dame. He had also served as a faculty fellow at the [http://nd.edu/~kellogg/ Kellogg Institute for International Studies] and at the Joan B. Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies.

He took his undergraduate and master's degrees in Philosophy from St. Paul's College, he took a master's degree in Social Planning from IRFED in Paris; and took his PhD in Political Science from the University of São Paulo, Brazil. Provided by Wikipedia
