Philosophy of Care cover

In this book, authors from a wide interdisciplinary spectrum discuss the issue of care. The book covers both philosophical and therapeutic studies and contains a three-pronged approach to discussing the concepts of care: vulnerability, otherness, and therapy. Above all, it is a matter of combining, in a plural form, a path with multiple theoretical and conceptual bifurcations, but which always point to an observation of society from the perspective of human vulnerability.

 

 

“As a palliative care physician, with dual expertise and interest in clinical ethics and bioethics, I found this book a breath of fresh air … . Editors Joaquim Braga and Mário Santiago de Carvalho have brought together a diverse and insightful group of thinkers and writers, and curated an excellent contribution to the theoretical discourse on care as it relates to our work and our world.” (Linda Sheahan, IAHPC Book Reviews, hospicecare.com, Vol. 23 (11), November, 2022)
