Overview
This book engages a debate on the ethics of care that evolves around thephenomenon of goodness without acknowledgment. Central to thisinvestigation are care relations from a position that criticallyrevaluates the intricate issues for the ethics of care: altruism andself-sacrifice, selflessness of care and lack of recognition. Theinquiry opens a new perspective on self-sacrifice by drawing on theresponsive phenomenology of Bernhard Waldenfels. Interpreting hisdescription of the relationship between self and Other and theexperience of otherness changes our view of the ways in which we areconnected with each other and of the reasons why we respect and care foreach other to a point at which the self is at risk. This new approach iswell-placed to strengthen both the ideal and the recognition ofself-less care. By bringing together intense debates in care ethics andresponsive phenomenology, Susanne Pohlmann profoundly enriches theethics of care and its related discussions.
