Necessary Goods - The Moral Importance of Meeting Needs

Informationen zum Autor By Gillian Brock Klappentext Do any needs defensibly make claims on anyone? If so, which needs and whose needs can defensibly do this? What are the grounds for our responsibilities to meet others' needs, when we have such responsibilities? The distinguished contributors to this volume consider these questions as they evaluate the moral force of needs. They approach questions of obligation and moral importance from a variety of different theoretical perspectives, including contractarian, Kantian, Aristotelian, rights-based, egalitarian, liberal, and libertarian perspectives. Zusammenfassung A collection of papers which consider the moral force of needs in contemporary discourse through an analysis of the nature of obligation and moral interest from a variety of different theoretical perspectives.
