Is Global Poverty a Philosophical Problem?. Berryman, S. Metaphilosophy, 50(4):405–420, 2019. ![Is Global Poverty a Philosophical Problem? [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex Peter Singer’s groundbreaking call to action in 1972, “Famine, Affluence, and Morality,” drew philosophical attention to the topic of famine and the associated suffering or preventable death of many throughout the world. Yet despite the volume of philosophical work Singer’s paper inspired, it would still be easy to suppose that global poverty is not a problem for philosophers to take seriously in itself but is rather a particularly stark illustration or instance of a more general problem, whether in ethics or in political philosophy. The aim of this paper is to argue that the philosophical landscape of global poverty is both sui generis and sufficiently complex that the topic should be considered not as an instance of a more general philosophical problem but as a distinct area of normative inquiry.
