Reihe: Ethics of Care

Joan Tronto’s Moral Boundaries. A political Argument for an

Ethic of Care (1993) is one of the most influential works in the

short history of the ethics of care. In her book Tronto rethinks ‘care’

as one of the central activities of human life and explains that it is

shaped through politics. Since it is two decades ago that Moral

Boundaries was published it seems more than worthwhile to take stock

of its significance. This volume does so. It attempts to redraw the

moral boundaries Tronto discusses and explores the impact and meaning of

her thinking for care ethics as a developing discipline.

This volume celebrates the anniversary of a book. Our ‘author of honour’

is Joan Tronto herself. The contributions of the other authors

concentrate on three domains: political theory, professional ethics and

the understanding of care as practice.
