Let´s be greek and dive today on…

CAROL GILLIGAN (1936), the American developmental psychologist, professor of Humanities and Applied Psychology at New York University and best known for her research into the moral development of girls and women.

Gilligan argued in her work that girls exhibit distinct patterns of moral development, based on relationships and on feelings of care and responsibility for others. Gilligan´s insights soon inspired a feminist-oriented movement in Philosophical Ethics known as the "Ethics of Care".

Emerging in the 1980s from Feminist Ethics when attention was drawn to Care as a structure within communities,
the Ethics of Care or Care ethics is a political-ethical movement that seeks to understand how care holds society together.
The concept of care is broadly defined as a social practice, and looking closely, it happens everywhere in society.

The Ethics of Care has become the most relevant new approach to the Ethical rationality, really proposing a new paradigm to observe, conceive, think and educate in ethical behaviours. After our rich philosophical heritage from the Ethics of Virtue (Greece), Formal Ethics (Kant) and Utilitarianism (Bentham), Carol Gilligan invites us to consider a new voice, a femenin perspective on what is essentially ethical in the human behaviour.
