Klappentext Contributors to this volume demonstrate how the ethics of care factors into a variety of social policies and institutions, and can indeed be useful in thinking about a number of different social problems. Divided into two sections, the first looks at care as a model for an evaluative framework that rethinks social institutions, liberal society, and citizenship at a basic conceptual level. The second explores care values in the context of specific social practices or settings, as a framework that should guide thinking. Zusammenfassung A common criticism of care ethics is that its scope is too narrow! and that it doesn't extend to issues of social justice. This book attempts to dispel that criticism. Contributors to this volume demonstrate how the ethics of care is at work in a variety of social policies and institutions.
