Description

The Ethics of Need explores the philosophical foundations of human need and constructs an ethical framework for determining which needs carry moral weight. Sarah Clark Miller synthesizes Kantian philosophy with feminist care ethics to demonstrate how mutual interdependence creates duties of care toward others. The volume argues that meeting others' needs requires more than material provision; it demands dignifying care that respects human agency and worth. By bridging traditional philosophical approaches with contemporary care ethics, this work addresses fundamental questions about obligation, dignity, and the role of need in moral reasoning. Published by Routledge as part of the Studies in Philosophy series, the book provides rigorous philosophical analysis for scholars and students of political philosophy, ethics, and social theory.
