Philosophy and Child Poverty cover

This insightful volume explores the philosophical dimensions of child poverty, highlighting its significance within the broader social context. Philosophy and Child Poverty encourages critical engagement with this urgent issue.

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of child poverty, emphasizing its complex relationship with childhood as a distinct social condition. Philosophy and Child Poverty delves into various conceptual frameworks, examining how child poverty can be understood and addressed within philosophical discourse. The text highlights the responsibilities society holds towards children and discusses potential mechanisms for alleviating this pressing issue.

As the first volume dedicated to the intersection of philosophy and child poverty, this work fills a significant gap in the literature. Despite the growing body of research on poverty in general, the specific challenges faced by children living in poverty have often been overlooked in philosophical discussions. This oversight is particularly striking given the profound impact that poverty has on the lives of children worldwide.

Bringing together diverse philosophical perspectives, Philosophy and Child Poverty serves as an essential resource for scholars in both philosophy and social sciences. It not only addresses theoretical aspects but also engages with practical implications, making it relevant for those interested in the ethical and social dimensions of child poverty. Through its thoughtful analysis, this volume aims to stimulate further dialogue and research in this critical area of study.
