Description
This work provides an introduction to the central issues in contemporary Anglo-American feminist moral philosphy. The focus of the volume is the debate between an "ethic of care" and an "ethic of justice". It addresses questions such as: does traditional moral philosophy suffer from gender bias?, do women reason in a "different moral voice"?, how does human dependency affect traditional moral values, such as autonomy?, and, can the care and justice perspective be reconciled? The articles are organized into sections which clearly set out the terms of the debate, the questions it raises, and why these questions matter to contemporary ethics.
