In 'Aporophobia, the Rejection of the Poor,' Adela Cortina, recognized with the 2014 National Essay Prize, addresses a pressing social and political problem: the fear, rejection, or aversion to the poor. Cortina coins the term 'aporophobia' to describe this reality, explaining how the poor, unlike foreigners with resources, are subject to contempt. The author analyzes the human predisposition to this phobia and proposes solutions through education, economic equality, democracy, and cosmopolitan hospitality. This book invites reflection on the importance of overcoming aporophobia to build a more just and inclusive society.
Adela Cortina is a Spanish philosopher.
