Omschrijving

~

The course has been set up as an introductory course for care ethics. The point of departure is its feminist roots, its contrast to different approaches of ethics and its international development since its conceptual origin. In a structured way we think through what care and care ethics are, we analyze certain key terms of care ethics like ‘relationality’, ‘dependency’, ‘context’, ‘justice’ and ‘emotions’, and look at (the nature of and problems in) concrete care practices. How does care ethics enable us to identify and reframe problems in a different way than in mainstream social sciences and in (bio-)ethical approaches?
