Gilligan's Ethic of Care
Captions available
The idea
Gilligan proposed a morality of care, centered on relationships and responsibility, as an alternative to Kohlberg's morality of justice, centered on rights and rules.
In practice
Care asks who will be hurt and how to help; justice asks what is fair by rule.
Where people slip
She described three positions: survival, conventional care for others alone, and integrated care for self and others.
