She explains the basis of common sense moral intuitions in a way that shows that they are grounded in sound moral reasoning. Moreover, examples of the drowning child and the Bengali refugee are cited in order to explain the concept of aid. A distinction between perfect and imperfect duties is presented. Furthermore, it explains the conditions of moral determinacy. The moral distinction between duties to rescue and duties to aid the needy is also cited.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
