Meer over het boek

Exploring the moral implications of needs, this volume delves into whether and how certain needs can justifiably impose claims on individuals. Distinguished contributors analyze the grounds for our responsibilities to fulfill others' needs through diverse theoretical lenses, including contractarian, Kantian, Aristotelian, rights-based, egalitarian, liberal, and libertarian frameworks. This multifaceted examination addresses complex questions of obligation and moral significance, offering a rich discussion on the interplay between needs and ethics.
