The Morality of Assistance

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。但是这些要求有多广泛呢？我们帮助他人的行为应该如何受到激励？接受援助会产生什么义务？这些问题是道德哲学的基础，也是公共政策、专业实践和道德教育的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。它展示了最近在理论伦理学方面的创新工作如何被用来回答应用伦理学的一些最重要的问题。

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.
