Abstract

This book engages a debate on the ethics of care that evolves around the phenomenon of goodness without acknowledgment. Central to this investigation are care relations from a position that critically revaluates the intricate issues for the ethics of care: altruism and self-sacrifice, selflessness of care and lack of recognition. The inquiry opens a new perspective on self-sacrifice by drawing on the responsive phenomenology of Bernhard Waldenfels. Interpreting his description of the relationship between self and Other and the experience of otherness changes our view of the ways in which we are connected with each other and of the reasons why we respect and care for each other to a point at which the self is at risk. This new approach is well-placed to strengthen both the ideal and the recognition of self-less care. By bringing together intense debates in care ethics and responsive phenomenology, Susanne Pohlmann profoundly enriches the ethics of care and its related discussions.0.

Abstract

This edited volume offers translations of important texts published by francophone care ethics scholars since the early 2000s. The anthology hopes to give readers a glimpse of the diversity of French-language care scholarship and of its unwavering commitment to showing that care is fundamentally political. The first part of the volume offers critical reflections on the controversies and debates that accompanied the introduction of care ethics in French-speaking academic life and in public debates. It also includes essays that reflect on the concepts of vulnerability and?the ordinary?. In the second part of the anthology, readers will find essays that place care ethics in conversation with other bodies of literature (disability studies, animal ethics, nanoethics, neorepublicanism, liberal theory, continental philosophy, contemporary feminist thought).00This collection includes contributions from Sophie Bourgault, Fabienne Brugère, Solange Chavel, Aurélie Damamme, Estelle Ferrarese, Marie Garrau, Claude Gautier, Naïma Hamrouni, Monique Lanoix, Sandra Laugier, Pascale Molinier, Vanessa Nurock, Patricia Paperman. The volume also includes a foreword by Fiona Robinson.

Abstract

This book investigates the relationship between philosophical phenomenology and ethics of care. The relationship between these two traditions in normative philosophy is particularly fascinating for theoretical scholars, researchers as well as bioethicists and health care clinicians. Both traditions elucidate the normative significance of human experience, emotion and embodiment. One reason for investigating the relationship is that care is both a concept (ethical, sociological etc.), a practice, and a phenomenon that has significant bearing upon human existence. Care as a phenomenon and concept also regards the human condition and experience as being invested with normativity. The book brings together care ethicists of different scholarly generations and from different countries (Belgium, Norway, USA, the Netherlands) who each explain their version of phenomenology, and secondly it includes three of today's prominent German phenomenologists who have reflected on care. Hopefully, the collection will stimulate care ethicists to inquire more deeply into phenomenology, and phenomenologists looking for connection with care ethics.

Abstract

The ethics of care, developed in early 1980s within feminism as a critique on the biases of neokantian ethics, is 40 years old. This book presents its key insights, the developments and debates over the years and the challenges care ethics faces. Internationally renown scholars from various continents have contributed, a clear sign that care ethics has spread over the globe. The key insights regard issues close by, care from person to person, but also at an institutional level and questions of global impact. Vulnerability and relationality are examples of these insights. What can caring practices, ranging from social welfare to palliative care, learn from care ethics? Has care ethics had an impact on ethics at large and what is its future?"--

Abstract

"Welche Themen bewegen Gläubige, die für existenzielle Grundfragen und Antwortversuche empfänglich sind, sich in bestimmtem Maße vom kirchengemeindlichen Leben "angezogen" fühlen, dort aber nicht aktiv teilnehmen? Die - meist implizit vorhandenen - Leutetheologien dieser Suchenden bzw. "SchwellenchristInnen" werden in narrativen Interviews zugänglich gemacht. Der Terminus "Leute" verweist dabei u. a. auf lateinamerikanische Theologien der Befreiung, die sich wie die argentinische teología del pueblo den Glaubensäußerungen des Volkes bzw. der Leute verpflichtet wissen. Die Aussagen der LeutetheologInnen eröffnen dabei ein praktisch-theologisches Lernfeld für die akademische Theologie und die pastorale Praxis, denn beide müssen sich zukünftig noch stärker daran messen lassen, inwieweit sie auch Suchende und SchwellenchristInnen in den Blick nehmen bzw. ansprechen." --provided by publisher

Abstract

What is an ethics formulated in a "different voice"? This book develops the connection between ordinary language philosophy, represented by Wittgenstein and Austin, and the ethics of care. Care is at once a practical response to specific needs and a sensitivity to the ordinary details of human life that matter. The Ordinary has been variously denied, undervalued, or neglected - not taken into account - in theoretical thought. Such negligence, I propose, has to do with widespread contempt for ordinary life inasmuch as it is domestic and female. The disdain stems from the gendered hierarchy of objects deemed worthy of intellectual research. One important aspect of ordinary language philosophy is its capacity to call our attention to human expressiveness as embodied in women's voices. It thus provides the basis for a re-definition of philosophy as attention to ordinary life, and care for moral expression. This book proposes nothing less than a paradigm shift in ethics, with a reorientation towards vulnerability and a shift from the "just" to the "important".
