Document Summary
Relationality (source of value: a different version of self than is offered by any other theory. When we care about our relations our sense of self-worth becomes increasingly intertwined with the well-being of our relations and those around us: includes relationships but is concerned with more. Capacity for and commitment to keeping sustainable interactions in society. Community: rather than suggesting we would be better to only worry about ourselves, care ethics puts forward that we could not even exist without relations. At some point in your life you would not have lived if you didn"t have caring relations: proposes that our conventional idea of the self is a falsehood because everyone is already intertwined with each other. Kant says we have autonomy and this is what gives us the right to certain things/ treatment. But this theory rebuts that we are even selves in the first place: we are relationality and this is what gives everything importance.
