1. 1. Being Good In A World Of Need

   

   It offers a philosophical analysis of our moral obligations to those in serious need, arguing that common intuitions and leading ethical theories both miss important considerations; the author rejects both overly demanding impartiality and overly permissive special-pleading for personal ties, and develops a nuanced account that gives substantial weight to alleviating severe need while recognizing legitimate limits grounded in proximity, personal commitments, and fairness. The book applies this framework to questions about individual charity, public policy, and how to balance competing moral claims in everyday life.
