This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book
examines the concept of care and care practices in healthcare from
the interdisciplinary perspectives of continental philosophy, care
ethics, the social sciences, and anthropology. Areas addressed
include dementia care, midwifery, diabetes care, psychiatry, and
reproductive medicine. Special attention is paid to ambivalences
and tensions within both the concept of care and care practices.
Contributions in the first section of the book explore
phenomenological and hermeneutic approaches to care and reveal
historical precursors to care ethics. Empirical case studies and
reflections on care in institutionalised and standardised settings
form the second section of the book. The concluding chapter,
jointly written by many of the contributors, points at recurring
challenges of understanding and practicing care that open up the
field for further research and discussion. This collection will be
of great value to scholars and practitioners of medicine, ethics,
philosophy, social science and history.
