What is at the basis of moral action? An altruism acquired by the application of rule and principle? Or, as Noddings asserts, caring and the memory of being cared for? With numerous examples to supplement her rich theoretical discussion, Noddings builds a compelling philosophical argument for an ethics based on natural caring, as in the care of a mother for her child. The ethical behavior that grows out of natural caring, and has as its core care-filled receptivity to those involved in any moral situation, leaves behind the rigidity of rule and principle to focus on what is particular and unique in human relations. Noddings's discussion is wide-ranging, as she considers whether organizations, which operate at a remove from the caring relationship, can truly be called ethical. She discusses the extent to which we may truly care for plants, animals, or ideas. Finally, she proposes a realignment of education to encourage and reward not just rationality and trained intelligence, but also enhanced sensitivity in moral matters.

reviewed Caring, a feminine approach to ethics & moral education on July 25, 2007 Caring
Nel Noddings worked in public schools for over two decades before obtaining her Ph.D. in educational theory and philosophy from Stanford University in 1975. She has written many books and is an important voice for feminine epistemology. Noddings establishes the foundation for an 'ethic of care,' which is expanded on through her term 'Caring' (with a capital 'C'). Caring occurs: through the relationship between the one-caring and the cared-for; when the one-caring has a displacement of motivation and is striving to be fully present with and truly meet the unique needs of the cared-for; and when the cared-for is open to receive the one-caring. The sensitive and trained intelligence of Caring allows for the cared-for to develop to his/her fullest potential and satisfies the one-caring through seeing this growth and development. Noddings shows how trained or completely logical learning is different from learning through Caring and highlights the importance of the latter. This is an important book for those interested in, education, feminine epistemology, and parenting.
