Until now, ethicists have said little about the body, limiting
their comments on it to remarks made in passing or, at best,
devoting a chapter to the subject. Embodied Care is the first work
to argue for the body's centrality to care ethics, doing so by
analyzing our corporeality at the phenomenological level. It
develops the idea that our bodies are central to our morality,
paying particular attention to the ways we come to care for one
another. Â Hamington's argues that human bodies are "built to
care"; as a result, embodiment must be recognized as a central
factor in moral consideration. He takes the reader on an exciting
journey from modern care ethics to Merleau-Ponty's philosophy of
the body and then to Jane Addams's social activism and philosophy.
The ideas in Embodied Care do not lead to yet another competing
theory of morality; rather, they progress through theory and case
studies to suggest that no theory of morality can be complete
without a full consideration of the body. Â
