This multi-authored book explores the ways that many influential
ethical traditions - secular and religious, Western and non-Western
- wrestle with the moral dimensions of poverty and the needs of the
poor. These traditions include Buddhism, Christianity,
Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, and Judaism, among the religious
perspectives; classical liberalism, feminism,
liberal-egalitarianism, and Marxism, among the secular; and natural
law, which might be claimed by both. The basic questions addressed
by each of these traditions are linked to several overarching
themes: what poverty is, the particular vulnerabilities of
high-risk groups, responsibility for the occurrence of poverty,
preferred remedies, how responsibility for its alleviation is
distributed, and priorities in the delivery of assistance. This
volume features an introduction to the types, scope, and causes of
poverty in the modern world and concludes with Michael Walzer's
broadly conceived commentary, which provides a direct comparison of
the presented views and makes suggestions for further study and
policy.
