Last updated: Saturday, 29 June 2024
Ethical framework stressing the importance of relationships, context, and individual needs, and committed to maintaining and nurturing sustaining social connections.
- attentiveness
- responsibility
- responsiveness
Attending to the affective, embodied, and contextual dimensions of moral life. Rooted in the details of specific, actually-existing relationships and responsibilities, and standing against the methodological individualism of the autonomous, self-sovereign actor.
Focuses on the question of ‘how to respond?’ Resists hard and fast, fixed principles. Demands tinkering and adjustment.
