The Heart of Justice proposes a new framework of political justice
based upon the practice of caring. Integrating the insights of
earlier care theorists with the concerns of traditional justice
theorists, Engster forges a new synthesis between care and justice,
and further argues that the institutional and policy commitments of
care theory must be recognized as central to any adequate theory of
justice.
Engster begins by offering a practice-based account of caring and
a theory of obligation that explains why individuals should care
for others. He then systematically demonstrates the implications of
this account of caring for domestic politics, economics,
international relations, and culture. In each of these areas, he
reviews the contributions of earlier care theorists and then
extends their arguments to provide a more complete description of
the institutions and policies of a caring society. Care ethics is
further put in dialogue with diverse cultural and religious
traditions and used to address the challenges of multicultural
justice, cultural relativism, and international human rights.
More fully than other works on care theory, this book provides an
over-arching account of the institutions and policies of a caring
society. The Heart of Justice provides the first full account of a
theory of justice based upon care ethics, and should be of interest
to anyone interested in thinking about the nature of our moral
obligations and the institutions of a just society
