Philosophize This: Introduction to An Ethics of Care

I've been listening to Philosophize This for a few years, and recently caught up with the backlog, meaning I've been awaiting and listening to current episodes. Introduction to an Ethics of Care is #168 in the series.

The Ethics of Care is a new topic to me. This episode does an excellent job of introducing the topic, and the topic itself seems to me both interesting and highly relvevant in a world with numerous problems and crises, tight interdependence, and faltering concepts of community and common weal.

The episode seems to warm up as it progresses, and ends quite strong. It's longer than typical for the podcast at 42 minutes (most are closer to 24).

In particular are the five components of care, drawin from the work of Joan Tronto:

1. Attentiveness: Awareness of problems for others around you.
2. Responsibility: A sense that something needs to be done, above and beyond a mere contractual sense of obligation.
3. Competence: The abiility and capacity to assist usefully.
4. Responsiveness: Constanct awareness of the response to assistance, especially awareness of power imbalance.
5. Plurality: My understanding is foggier, though this involves "communication, trust and respect; solidarity"

I'm looking at related references (Wikipedia and several of the named authors.) Stephen West typically posts a transcript, though that's not yet online for this episode. I'm looking forward to it.
