This book offers a broad and diverse reflection of the ways in which child poverty could be conceptualised, and the ways in which it is intertwined with childhood as a specific social condition. Furthermore, the responsibilities towards children and the possible mechanisms required for dealing with this condition will be analysed and clarified. This is the first volume on philosophy and child poverty. Despite the increasing number of publications on poverty, the particular phenomenon of poverty during childhood has not received much philosophical attention. This is surprising, given the severity and depth of child poverty around the globe.This volume brings together various philosophical approaches and how they understand and tackle child poverty. This is an important addition to the philosophical literature, which is also of wider interest to scholars working in the social sciences and with an interest in child poverty.

This book presents an innovative and thought-provoking argument regarding the foundations of politics and its ethical implications, exploring the difference between what politics is (and/or can be) and what it is not (and/or cannot be). It distinguishes between two fundamental forms of political poverty, namely ontological poverty and theoretical poverty. Ontological poverty depicts the negative foundation upon which the political relies—an absence that, paradoxically, underpins the political existence. In contrast, theoretical poverty emerges when this ontological datum is self-delusively denied by politics itself, leading to the loss of political properties of politics, or political poverty, and the resulting dehumanisation of the political subject. Drawing on Aristotelian logic, the volume discloses the aporetic condition of political ontology, deploying phenomenological inquiry through deconstruction. Through close readings of Kafka, Agamben, Derrida, Levinas, and Schmitt among others, it maps the porous threshold between the political and the non-political, illuminating how this tension—between being and becoming—is conditional to politics itself and simultaneously the site of its potential impoverishment. In this context, theoretical poverty is recognised as the prodromic moment when politics ceases to carry its own name, severing its ties to the ethical and ontological relations that sustain it. This work makes a significant contribution to contemporary debates in political philosophy, political theory, political ontology, and ethics. It will particularly appeal to scholars engaged with continental philosophy and literary theory. It opens a new avenue of inquiry into the political foundations by questioning what politics is and what it risks not becoming.

This book discusses conditionality in social policy from normative, ethical, and philosophical perspectives. It brings together researchers from a variety of disciplines and parts of the world, opening new perspectives for the reader. Conditional social benefits are widespread and controversial: for supporters, they express that the state can expect something in return for its services and that self-responsibility is thereby strengthened. For critics, conditionality is synonymous with control and subjugation. This book discusses and investigates both views on conditionality, allowing the reader to get more in-depth knowledge of this topical and important aspect of social policy and political philosophy.
