Since Carol Gilligan’s In a Different Voice (1982) the
ethics of care has developed as a movement of allied thinkers, in
different continents, who have a shared concern and who reflect on
similar topics. This shared concern is that care can only be revalued
and take its societal place if existing asymmetrical power relations are
unveiled, and if the dignity of care givers and care receivers is better
guaranteed, socially, politically and personally.
In this first volume of a new series leading care ethicists from Europe
and the United States
focus on the moral significance of two concepts in the debate that ask
for further reflection. In discussion with the work of Axel Honneth on
recognition and the work of Emmanuel Housset on compassion a
contribution is made to a reconsideration of recognition and compassion
from an ethics of care perspective.
This volume contains contributions by Andries Baart, Estelle Ferrarese,
Chris Gastmans, Mieke Grypdonck, Emmanuel Housset, Carlo Leget, Hilde
Lindemann, Axel Liégeois, Christa Schnabl, Joan C. Tronto, Annelies van
Heijst, Linus Vanlaere, Frans Vosman and Margaret Urban Walker.
