Abstract

We have a responsibility rescue the poor people? That we have such a responsibility, in which different religions and cultures can find the moral basis. We can even say that it is a highly universal moral intuitions. Then we can find further intuition for the philosophical and moral basis? Some philosophers try to explain the perspective of human rights theory it is reasonable. They believe that certain fundamental rights of people we can draw the conclusion that aid the poor to reduce poverty, the impact on them responsibility. This paper aims to explore the theory of human rights into the road through to illustrate the "poverty reduction" of the responsibility involved in philosophical issues. Do we have the moral duty to help the poor? Many people think that we have. And some may argue that such a moral duty is so basic that it can find its support from the moral perspectives of different religions and cultures. Some may even say that it is a universally held moral intuition that we have the moral duty to help the poor. But can we find a philosophical justification for the universality of such a moral intuition? Some philosophers attempt to provide such a philosophical justification from the perspective of human rights theory by arguing that the moral duty can be derived from some basic human rights. This paper aims to discuss some philosophical problems inherent in the aforementioned approach to the moral duty to help the poor
