Care Ethics : New Theories and Applications Paperback / softback
Edited by Christine Koggel, Joan Orme
Paperback / softback
Description
The ethic of care has developed to become a body of theory that has expanded from its roots in social psychology to many other disciplines in the social sciences as well as the humanities.
This work on care has informed both theory and practice by generating complex accounts of care ethics for multiple and intersecting kinds of relationships, and for a variety of domains and contexts.
Its application now extends from the moral to the political realm, from personal to public relationships, from the local to the global, from feminine to feminist virtues and values, and from issues of gender to issues of power and oppression. The developments in the theories and applications of care ethics over the past few decades make this book an appropriate and timely publication.
It includes chapters by authors who are developing or expanding theories of care ethics and also by those who work on applying and extending insights from care ethics to practices and policies in personal and institutional settings.
Care Ethics provides readers from different disciplines and professional groups with a substantial number of new theories and applications from both new and established authors.
This book was originally published as two special issues of Ethics and Social Welfare.
