In the broad literature of international ethics which has already been composed, especially mainstream theories namely, communitarianism and cosmopolitanism which can be classified as 'modern', are prominent. In addition, critical, feminist and poststructural/postmodern theoretical approaches can be also seen. This study reflects an attempt of such a general mapping of international ethics and brings up certain views of Zygmunt Bauman's understanding of 'postmodern ethics', even though it does not have a full theoretical perspective. The place of his views in this map is discussed. From this point forth, our study argues that the essential and ontological critiques of Bauman, which are directed to understanding of modern ethics, are concerned specifically with mainstream theories of international ethics, and their ethical claims comes into existence in a moral crisis.
