care ethics

The ethics of care is a normative ethical theory that holds that moral action centers on interpersonal relationships

and care or benevolence as a virtue.

EoC is one of a cluster of normative ethical theories that were develop by feminists in the second half of the twentieth century

.^[1] While consequentialist and deontological ethical theories emphasize generalizable standards

and impartiality, ethics of care emphasize the importance of response to the individual.

The distinction between the general and the individual is reflected in their different moral questions:

Firstly, “what is just?”

Secondly, “how to respond?”.

^[2] Carol Gilligan, who is considered the originator of the ethics of care, criticize the application of generalize standards as “morally problematic, since it breeds moral blindness or indifference”

The best example

The best example of this may be seen in how ethics of care differs from two dominant normative moral theories of the 18^thand 19^thcentury.

The first is deontology, best associate with Immanuel Kant.

And the second utilitarianism, attribute to Jeremy Bentham and improve upon by John Stuart Mill.

In addition, They each require the moral agent to be unemotional.

Moral decision making is thus expect to be rational and logical,

with a focus on universal, objective rules.

In contrast, ethics of care defends some emotions, such as care or compassion, as moral.

On this view, there is not a dichotomy between reason and the emotions

– as some emotions may be reasonable and morally appropriate in guiding good decisions or actions.

Feminist ethics also recognises that rules must be apply in a context,

and real life moral decision making is influence by the relationships we have with those around us.

Instead of asking the moral decision maker to be unbias, t

he caring moral agent will consider that one’s duty may be greater to those they has particular bonds with

, or to others who are powerless rather than powerful.
