Abstract:
This volume breaks new ground by investigating the ethics of vulnerability. Drawing on various ethical traditions, the contributors explore the nature of vulnerability, the responsibilities owed to the vulnerable, and by whom. They also examine vulnerability in specific contexts, including disability; responsibilities to children and the elderly; and intergenerational justice.
