Description
When feminist philosophers first turned their attention to traditional ethical theory, its emphasis on justice, rights, abstract rationality and individual autonomy came in for special criticism. Women's experience seemed to suggest the need for a focus on care, empathetic relations, and the interdependence of persons. The papers in this anthology trace feminist philosophy's exploration of the relationship between the ideals of justice and care. The book testifies that there is no agreement on the main questions about the relationship between justice and care.
