Emphasising the vulnerability and interdependence of humans, care ethics has emerged in recent years as a powerful alternative to dominant modes of thinking in moral philosophy. Bringing together the theoretical and applied dimensions of care ethics, this pioneering volume provides an authoritative overview of what care ethics is and the contributions it can make to pressing contemporary problems.
Divided into two parts, Part I of The Bloomsbury Handbook of Care Ethics traces the development of care ethics, how it interacts with other central components of moral reasoning, such as freedom and normative justification, and the ongoing discussions among care ethicists about the direction, scope and underlying mechanisms of the theory. Part II then showcases the varied contributions care ethics can make to key areas of applied philosophy and to research in the social sciences, from disability and care, medical ethics and feminist ethics to timely issues such as maternity care and public administration. With an international team of experts providing interdisciplinary approaches to care, this is the place to start if you want to gain an in-depth insight into the field of care ethics and its crucial role in addressing worldwide vulnerabilities.Book Details
