Opis

This collection of essays highlights the topic of the ethics of care in times when it is difficult for human beings to ensure survival for themselves. “Taking care” is an expression that could refer to the most varied situations of social life: taking care of one’s loved ones, taking care of oneself, taking care of the environment in which we live, taking care of life itself and every nuance, as well as taking care of those you meet along the way.The emergency scenarios and the frenetic social changes that are before us put a strain on our motivation to take care, and cause us to turn our attention to solving everyday problems. However, do these scenarios and changes have the power to undo the various sensitivities regarding caring for someone or something else? The content of taking care concerns different ways of thinking, such as critical thinking.
