9780195067996: Care and Commitment: Taking the Personal Point of View

Synopsis

Despite the current popularity of what is commonly referred to as an `ethics of care', no one has yet undertaken a systematic philosophical study of `care' itself. In this book, Jeffrey Blustein presents the first such study, offering a detailed exploration of human `care' in its various guises: concern for and commitment to individuals, ideals, and causes. Blustein focuses on the nature and value of personal integrity and intimacy, and on the questions they raise for traditional moral theory.

Revue de presse

A rich and complex work...on an important topic, and I find many of Blustein's arguments and his rich, almost phenomenological, descriptions compelling. (Philosophical Review)
