Description

The Philosophy of Care by Boris Groys explores the complex relationship between care and creativity in our society. Our culture often prioritises creative expression over care for the body, neglecting the needs of those who provide essential care services. This book retraces the philosophical discussions around care, tracing its roots from ancient thinkers like Plato to modern thinkers like Alexander Bogdanov. The central question at the heart of this tradition is: who should be the subject of care? Should we rely on ourselves or trust others and institutions? Groys' work offers a critical examination of these questions, arguing that the concept of self-care can be a powerful tool for challenging dominant mechanisms of control.
