Care and commitment

In this book, Blustein presents the first study of an ethics of care, offering a detailed exploration of human "care" in its various guises: concern for and commitment to individuals, ideals, and causes. Blustein focuses on the nature and value of personal integrity and intimacy, and on the questions they raise for traditional moral theory. Among the topics considered are: What is the nature of caring as such? What do we (and should we) care about? What is implied by the claim that caring supports a sense of the meaningfulness of our lives? How does caring benefit the one who cares and what is the good of care? How do we care about caring?
