"Redefining Ethical Engagement: Integrating Ethics of Care in Contemporary Moral Discourse"

Abstract

The paper considers the roots of Care Ethics as a new way of moral thinking that is changing the ways of perceiving to the moral responsibility and compassionate behavior in the present world. Influenced by feminist ethics, relational ontology, and different philosophical sources, the essay confronts the ethical consequences of care systems in different areas like health care, environment care and social justice. By means of its critical elaboration and utilizing case studies from actual experience it shows the way Ethics of Care transcends traditional moral theories and helps change the ethical approach into more empathetic and inclusive. Essentially, this essay argues for the adoption of care ethics as a key component in the worldview of moral decisions when seeking to tackle the complex ethical issues of today.
