Justice, Care, and Value: A Values-Driven Theory of Care Ethics

Thomas Randall's book "In Justice, Care, and Value" argues for the radical potential of care ethics as a distinct and preferable theory of distributive justice. It proposes a values-driven theory of care ethics that derives normative criteria for evaluating the moral worth of caring relations and their surrounding institutions. The book makes significant strides to engage care ethics with the broader moral and political philosophy literature, demonstrating that it has the conceptual resources to ground distributive theories of socialism, territorial and natural resource rights, obligations to future generations, and historic redress.

Building upon the rich feminist literature, this book advocates for a society that fosters the flourishing of caring relations. Randall presents a values-driven theory of care ethics, which derives normative criteria for evaluating the moral worth of caring relations and their surrounding institutions through a classification of the values of care.

This book makes significant contributions to the field of care ethics by engaging it with the broader moral and political philosophy literature. Randall's work is both topical and interdisciplinary, showcasing the conceptual richness of care ethics to ground distributive theories such as socialism, territorial and natural resource rights, obligations to future generations, and historic redress.

Randall's insights and arguments shed light on the potential for a more just and compassionate world, and his work contributes to the ongoing dialogue on distributive justice and the values that shape our society.
