Description
Book SynopsisA 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.
Trade ReviewA number of important issues are pursued in the essays. ...their collection in a single volume is particularly handy. The philosophers appearing here are leading thinkers in the field and represent a broad spectrum of opinion. The book would be useful for any upper-level course in political philosophy. * Oxford Academic Journals *
This collection gathers together some of the more important philosophical essays on needs from the last 15 years—some reprinted, some re-written, some new. This collection provides a valuable overview of the state of philosophical reflection on the moral status of needs. . . . An appropriate and useful addition for an advanced undergraduate or graduate course in ethical theory. -- Jon Mandle, SUNY, Albany * Ethics: An International Journal of Social, Political, and Legal Philosophy *
