null The patriarchal system threatens our capacity to love and generate trust, according to philosopher Carol Gilligan
Barcelona, October 2013./ The Víctor Grífols i Lucas Foundation has published La ética del cuidado(The ethic of care), by American philosopher, psychologist and feminist, Carol Gilligan. This distinctively feminist ethics focuses on human relations, and locates the person, rather than the patient, at the centre of its concerns. The monograph contains the two talks given by the author within the framework of the 6th Annual Josep Egozcue Lectures, held last April. The author relates the ethics of care to what she terms "moral injury" and "resisting injustice", theories that defend the need to change existing social structures, based on patriarchal systems. If we fail to do this, we will lose the capacity to love and to generate trust in each other.
