About the Book
With numerous examples to supplement her rich theoretical discussion Nel Noddings builds a compelling philosophical argument for an ethics based on natural caring as in the care of a mother for her child.
In Caring—now updated with a new preface and afterword reflecting on the ongoing relevance of the subject matter—the author provides a wide-ranging consideration of whether organizations which operate at a remove from the caring relationship can truly be called ethical. She discusses the extent to which we may truly care for plants animals or ideas. Finally she proposes a realignment of education to encourage and reward not just rationality and trained intelligence but also enhanced sensitivity in moral matters.
