Care ethics does very well on its own, but we can give it a larger justificatory context by subsuming it under Chinese yin and yang, understood, respectively, as receptivity and active purposefulness. Caring involves both empathy and helpfulness, and empathy is a form of receptivity, helpfulness of active purposefulness. But yin and yang can also help us understand practically rational prudence and the two basic building blocks of the mind: belief and desire. So care ethics can receive further support by showing how it can form part of a larger yin/yang philosophy that the present chapter offers an extended argument for.

摘要

Care ethics does very well on its own, but we can give it a larger justificatory context by subsuming it under Chinese yin and yang, understood, respectively, as receptivity and active purposefulness. Caring involves both empathy and helpfulness, and empathy is a form of receptivity, helpfulness of active purposefulness. But yin and yang can also help us understand practically rational prudence and the two basic building blocks of the mind: belief and desire. So care ethics can receive further support by showing how it can form part of a larger yin/yang philosophy that the present chapter offers an extended argument for.
