Denis Goulet

Denis Goulet (27 May 1931 – 26 December 2006)[1] 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.[2][3] 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 Kellogg Institute for International Studies and at the Joan B. Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies.[4]

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.[4]
