This volume explores the connections between emotions andcare--understood here as a practice, an ethical ideal and a moraldisposition. Ever since its origins in the early 1980s, the ethics ofcare has been built on the presupposition that there are intimate linksbetween our emotional lives and care. Nonetheless, relatively littlescholarship has been devoted to the close study of these connections orto an exploration of the 'darker' emotions that can often accompanycare. This edited volume hopes to address this relative neglect in theliterature by offering interdisciplinary perspectives on the matter.Penned by scholars from different parts of the world, the essays in thisvolume seek to bring greater conceptual articulacy into our discussionsof the ways emotions can motivate or thwart care. Some contributors alsooffer critical assessments of care ethics scholarship--discussing, forinstance, the feminist stakes in the debate over the significance ofemotions for care. Other contributions propose novel ways of exploringthe ties between emotions and care by bringing new voices and authorsinto the debate--mostly from phenomenological, literary andanthropological circles.
