Care and women's emancipation have often been seen as opposed. What
emancipation should mean for the world of care has always received
little attention. Recently, however, the whole subject has been
brought into the political arena with new reforms of the welfare
state, health care policies and family law. Politicians have begun
to look for new ways to appreciate care as a meaningful activity
and a moral perspective. In this context, Selma Sevenhuijsen argues
for a revaluation of care from a feminist perspective. She proposes
a new political concept of an ethics of care that will integrate
themes from feminist ethics and gender in concrete examples taken
from the practice and discourse of care, those found in parental
rights issues, health care education, the family and in the public
health sector.

Criticism is often levied that care ethics is too narrow in scope
and fails to extend to issues of social justice. Socializing Care
attempts to dispel that criticism. Contributors to the volume
demonstrate how the ethics of care factors into a variety of social
policies and institutions, and can indeed be useful in thinking
about a number of different social problems. Divided into two
sections, the first looks at care as a model for an evaluative
framework that rethinks social institutions, liberal society, and
citizenship at a basic conceptual level. The second explores care
values in the context of specific social practices (like live
kidney donations) or settings (like long-term care), as a framework
that should guide thinking. Ultimately, this collection
demonstrates how society would benefit from a more serious
engagement with care ethics.
