Other people's needs and interests give us reasons to help them - reasons that ground moral requirements. But how extensive are those requirements? How should our actions to assist other people be motivated? And what obligations does the receipt of assistance create? These questions are of foundational importance to moral philosophy, and underlie a range of practical issues of public policy, professional practice and moral education. In this project, the standard treatment of these questions is rejected. It shows how recent innovative work in theoretical ethics can be used to answer some of the most important questions of applied ethics.

别人的需要和兴趣给了我们帮助他们的理由--这些理由是道德要求的基础。但这些要求有多广泛？我们帮助他人的行动应该如何激励？接受援助产生了哪些义务？这些问题对道德哲学具有基础性的重要性，并构成公共政策、专业实践和道德教育等一系列实际问题的基础。在这个项目中，这些问题的标准处理被拒绝。它显示了如何在理论伦理学的最新创新工作可以用来回答应用伦理学的一些最重要的问题。
