Theoretical and Practical Perspectives
Louise Reader
Read on Louise Reader App.
This book offers a set of reflections on the ethics of care in full articulation with some of the most pressing issues of our time. Several themes are analyzed, such as medical care, self-care, justice, economics, politics, and technology. All of them, however, are permeated and united by a common philosophical purpose, namely: an ethics of care not only allows the conception of behavioral relationships and human values but also puts into play the theoretical foundations of ethics itself. It is in this sense that the ethics of care proposed in this volume can be considered metaethics. Since they present multidisciplinary contents and concepts, the chapters of this volume are relevant theoretical tools for researchers, professors, and students, as well as specialized caregivers, who want to deepen the new theoretical and practical implications of care in contemporary society.
