dc.description.abstract | This paper will examine several philosophical approaches to poverty, and attempt to find the one among them that will be most effective in the fight against international poverty. The four major approaches that will be examine are a rights-based approach, illustrated by the work of Henry Shue; a Kantian approach, illustrated by the work of Onora O'Neill; an Aristotelian approach based on the work of Martha Nussbaum; and a feminist ethics approach based on the work of a variety of thinkers.
