Care Ethics in Yet a Different Voice: Francophone Contributions (Ethics of Care)

This edited volume offers translations of important texts published by francophone care ethics scholars since the early 2000s. The anthology hopes to give readers a glimpse of the diversity of French-language care scholarship and of its unwavering commitment to showing that care is fundamentally political. The first part of the volume offers critical reflections on the controversies and debates that accompanied the introduction of care ethics in French-speaking academic life and in public debates. It also includes essays that reflect on the concepts of vulnerability and "the ordinary". In the second part of the anthology, readers will find essays that place care ethics in conversation with other bodies of literature (disability studies, animal ethics, nanoethics, neorepublicanism, liberal theory, continental philosophy, contemporary feminist thought). This collection includes contributions from Sophie Bourgault, Fabienne Brugere, Solange Chavel, Aurelie Damamme, Estelle Ferrarese, Marie Garrau, Claude Gautier, Naima Hamrouni, Monique Lanoix, Sandra Laugier, Pascale Molinier, Vanessa Nurock, Patricia Paperman. The volume also includes a foreword by Fiona Robinson. This edited volume offers translations of important texts published by francophone care ethics scholars since the early 2000s.
