An Ethics of Care
Feminist ethics, especially the ethics of care, offer a different form of ethics due to their reliance on relationships as the basis of moral theories. The ethics of care has its foundation in feminist principles. It postulates that people, particularly females, have been trained to find emotional connection and interpersonal relationships as important aspects of ethical decisions. The ethics of care differs from the conventional ethical approaches that stress rationality, formal procedures, and general rules and principles (Vaughn 149). This focus on relationships differs from other ethical theories, such as Kantian Ethics, that emphasize the principles of morality. Thus, focusing on empathy and context, feminist ethics exposes an approach that could be more suitable for comprehending multifaceted moral processes involving dependency, vulnerability, and care.
