Definition(s)
- Voluntarism—sometimes called philanthropy or charity— is the donation of money, goods, and time either to those in need or an otherwise worthy cause.A question that confronts every society and every political philosophy concerns our obligations to the poor and unfortunate and how we are to extend them help.
