Socializing Care: Feminist Ethics and Public Issues - Paperback

by Maurice Hamington (Editor), Dorothy C. Miller (Editor), Joan Tronto (Contribution by)

Contributors to this volume demonstrate how the ethics of care factors into a variety of social policies and institutions, and can indeed be useful in thinking about a number of different social problems. Divided into two sections, the first looks at care as a model for an evaluative framework that rethinks social institutions, liberal society, and citizenship at a basic conceptual level. The second explores care values in the context of specific social practices or settings, as a framework that should guide thinking.
