| Summary: | "Supplementing her rich theoretical discussion with numerous examples, 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 -- Noddings provides a wide-ranging consideration of whether institutions and large 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"--Page 4 of print cover. |
