Ethics of Care

Over the last 20 years there has been a flourishing of work on feminist care ethics. This collection makes a unique contribution to this body of work. The international contributors demonstrate the significance of care ethics as a transformative way of thinking across diverse geographical, policy and interpersonal contexts. From Tronto’s analysis of global responsibilities, to Fudge Schormans’ re-imagining of care from the perspective of people with learning disabilities, chapters highlight the necessity of thinking about the ethics of care to achieve justice and well-being within policies and practice. This book will be essential reading for all those seeking such outcomes.

"An exciting collection of new, cutting-edge research on care ethics that is theoretically-rich, provocative and timely." Dr. Fiona Robinson, Carleton University, Canada

"This text engages with some of the most challenging issues relating to care in diverse political and practice contexts through the lens of ethics of care. Contributors from different cultural contexts and disciplines make this a valuable addition to a growing body of scholarship critically examining political and philosophical perspectives on care." Ann Gallagher, University of Surrey

"This book deserves to be widely read, providing a stimulating account of care ethics in various international perspectives." Critical Social Policy
