Virginia Held Quotes on Knowledge
Virginia Held’s Feminist Morality: Transforming Culture, Society, and Politics (1993) and The Ethics of Care: Personal, Political, and Global (2006) give contemporary feminist moral philosophy one of its most systematic statements of care ethics. The central project is the philosophical articulation of care as a substantive normative tradition irreducible to the dominant impartialist (Kantian, utilitarian, contractarian) frameworks: care designates both a distinctive practice of attentive responsiveness to particular others in relations of dependence and a corresponding analysis of the moral knowledge proper to such relations. The framework, drawing on Carol Gilligan’s developmental psychology and the broader feminist ethical tradition through Noddings, Ruddick, and Tronto, shaped the subsequent care-ethical engagement with global justice, political institutions, and the philosophical foundations of moral psychology.
