Feminist Political Philosophy and the Ethics of Care in Governance
Quick fact
Feminist philosopher Carol Gilligan's 1982 book 'In a Different Voice' showed that women often reason about moral problems through an 'ethic of care' rather than the traditional 'ethic of justice', suggesting that caring for particular others is a moral orientation that has been systematically devalued in politics and philosophy.
Why this is interesting
What if running a government based on the principles of a fair and just society leaves out the very people it's supposed to serve?
