The Ethics of Care: Personal, Political, and Global: Personal, Political, Global

Description:

Virginia Held assesses the ethics of care as a promising alternative to the familiar moral theories that serve so inadequately to guide our lives. The ethics of care is only a few decades old, yet it is by now a distinct moral theory or normative approach to the problems we face. It is relevant to global and political matters as well as to the personal relations that can most clearly exemplify care.
This book clarifies just what the ethics of care is: what its characteristics are, what it holds, and what it enables us to do. It discusses the feminist roots of this moral approach and why the ethics of care can be a morality with universal appeal. Held examines what we mean by "care," and what a caring person is like. Where other moral theories demand impartiality above all, the ethics of care understands the moral import of our ties to our families and groups. It evaluates such ties, focusing on caring relations rather than simply on the virtues of individuals. The book proposes how such values as justice, equality, and individual rights can "fit together" with such values as care, trust, mutual consideration, and solidarity.
In the second part of the book, Held examines the potential of the ethics of care for dealing with social issues. She shows how the ethics of care is more promising than Kantian moral theory and utilitarianism for advice on how expansive, or not, markets should be, and on when other values than market ones should prevail. She connects the ethics of care with the rising interest in civil society, and considers the limits appropriate for the language of rights. Finally, she shows the promise of the ethics of care for dealing with global problems and seeing anew the outlines of international civility.

Review

"Virginia Held's theory of care is no less substantial than John Rawls' theory of justice. Her probing and engaging analysis of caring values, virtues, actions, and attitudes will become a classic in moral theory."--Rosemarie Tong, The University of North Carolina at Charlotte

5.0 out of 5 stars Ethical Priorities

M.D. · 15 October 2012

The Ethics of Care is a refreshing look at the difficult issue of how a caring concern can influence ethical priorities. It takes a starting point from feminist thinking about the nature of caring relationships and builds a strong theoretical and practical application of prioritising care well beyond the family setting. A powerful contribution is how the ethics of care can be applied widely including in international relation and the business of providing healthcare.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book with an alternative focus on ethics

P.G. · 30 November 2014

Excellent book with an alternative focus on ethics. Loved it .... shame my tutor didn't when marking be aware ... .

Excellent comprehensive discussion of the ethics of care from an authority in the field.

S.G. · 14 November 2013

Virginia Held is a highly respected philosopher with a lovely writing style. The book does an excellent job of spelling out multiple spheres in which the ethics of care is appropriate. I use it for my own research, but have also used it with students I am advising as an excellent way in to the ethics of care in applied fields, particularly bioethics and gender.

This was a requested book that is used by a philosophy professor in her college classes. Even though it came from the UK it was in good condition

Eye-opening

Fantastic read for all women!

Good ideas; poor foundation.

For the ethic of care, the author makes a great case. However her dismissal of the objective for the ideal is a hinderance.
