Description

Explore the philosophical foundations of human necessity in The Ethics of Need: Agency, Dignity, and Obligation. Published by Routledge as part of the Studies in Philosophy series, this work examines the moral weight of human needs and provides a framework for determining which needs carry ethical significance. Author Sarah Clark Miller provides a unique synthesis of Kantian principles and feminist care ethics. The text explores how our natural interdependence creates a fundamental duty to care for one another. Beyond simply addressing physical or material requirements, Miller introduces the concept of dignifying care. This approach focuses on how we meet the needs of others in ways that respect their agency and inherent dignity. This book is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in political philosophy, ethics, and social sciences. It offers a deep look into the relationship between human obligation and the ways we support the well-being of our community through meaningful, respectful care.
