This volume aims at cultivating and enlightening our
philanthropic imagination. It addresses us all as present and
future philanthropists, as human beings who give, serve, and seek
to promote the well being of others. It suggests that we are
continually confronted with choices about giving, and offers a
collection of writings intended to help us reflect more seriously
on these choices, and to make philanthropic acts, when they are
undertaken, more meaningful.
The readings contained in The Philanthropic Imagination come
from a variety of cultures, time periods, and genres. They
represent classical works of literature, philosophy, and religion,
but also contemporary and popular writings. Selections are drawn
from the works of Aristotle, Shakespeare, Dostoevsky, C. S. Lewis,
Alexis de Tocqueville, Martin Luther King, P. G. Wodehouse, Sholom
Aleichem, and Shel Silverstein, among others. They are organized by
the specific question they address: When, why, how, to whom, and
what should we give?
Amy Kass provides a general introduction to the book, as well as
introductions to each selection. The introductions offer context
for each reading and questions to guide reflection, but they do not
supply uniform answers. The answers must come from the reader.
