Description

Caring: A Relational Approach to Ethics and Moral Education by Nel Noddings provides a thought-provoking philosophical argument for an ethics based on natural caring. The author explores whether organizations can truly be called ethical when operating at a remove from the caring relationship, and discusses the extent to which we may truly care for plants, animals, or ideas. Nel Noddings proposes a realignment of education to encourage and reward not just rationality and trained intelligence, but also enhanced sensitivity in moral matters. With numerous examples to supplement her rich theoretical discussion, this book offers a compelling consideration of how our values and relationships shape our understanding of ethics and morality. Through its exploration of caring as a fundamental principle of ethics, Caring challenges readers to rethink their assumptions about what it means to be ethical and responsible.
