This book reflects on theoretical developments in the political
theory of care and new applications of care ethics in different
contexts. The chapters provide original and fresh perspectives on
the seminal notions and topics of a politically formulated ethics
of care. It covers concepts such as democratic citizenship, social
and political participation, moral and political deliberation,
solidarity and situated attentive knowledge. It engages with

issues of state care provision and democratic caring institutions.

ten different countries and gives voice to their unique local
insights from various socio-political and cultural contexts.

Considering solidarity and mutual aid at the intersection of
political philosophy and biology, made more urgent and prescient by
the COVID-19 crisis, this book is grounded in the work of Catherine
Malabou and takes her theories in creative new directions. To think
about solidarity mutual aid is to think about how we can and do
live together, and how we might do so differently. Mutual aid is,
in Peter Kropotkin's famous formulation, a factor of evolution, but
also a conscious political strategy undertaken by activists in
times of crisis. While this combination of biology and politics has
been a source of controversy, and even embarrassment, recent
developments demand a rethink. The contributions in this volume aim
to renew interest in the idea of mutual aid, and to consider how
biological claims might be incorporated into political projects
without appearing as essentialist constraints. They do so in
dialogue with Catherine Malabou, whose work insists on the
importance of the biological while rejecting any notions of
biological determinism. They thus point to the necessity of
solidarity and mutual aid for understanding our social life, while
releasing them from the biological and symbolic chains in which
they often appear.
