Justice and Care: Essential Readings in Feminist Ethics Hardcover - 1995

by Virginia Held


From the publisher

When feminist philosophers first turned their attention to traditional ethical theory, its almost exclusive emphasis upon justice, rights, abstract rationality, and individual autonomy came under special criticism. Women's experiences seemed to suggest the need for a focus on care, empathetic relations, and the interdependence of persons.The most influential readings of what has become an extremely lively and fruitful debate are reproduced here along with important new contributions by Alison Jaggar and Sara Ruddick. As this volume testifies, there is no agreement on the important questions about the relationship between justice and care, but the debate has deepened and enriched our understanding in many ways. Justice and Care is a valuable collection of readings--an essential tool for anyone studying the state of feminist thought in particular or ethical theory in general.

First line

It is generally agreed that ethics is the philosophical study of morality, but we also speak of "professional ethics" and "a personal ethic."
