Explains what caring is and ways that you can show you care.

A picture book for toddlers about the importance of sharing and caring.

With numerous examples to supplement her rich theoretical discussion, Nel Noddings builds a compelling philosophical argument for an ethics based on natural caring, as in the care of a mother for her child. In Caring—now updated with a new preface and afterword reflecting on the ongoing relevance of the subject matter—the author provides a wide-ranging consideration of whether organizations, which operate at a remove from the caring relationship, can truly be called ethical. She discusses the extent to which we may truly care for plants, animals, or ideas. Finally, she proposes a realignment of education to encourage and reward not just rationality and trained intelligence, but also enhanced sensitivity in moral matters.

Simple text and illustrations depicting children demonstrating such virtues as courage, consideration for others, cooperation, fairness, and honesty provide examples of good behavior in everyday life.

"Should be obligatory reading. . . . A philosophy of life in a nutshell, one that has latched on to the most practical, central, and sensible of all activities, human or cosmic."--Psychology Today

Provides eyewitness accounts and personal stories demonstrating how nurses turn the awesome into the routine. Chambliss shows how patients-- many weak and helpless--too often become objects of the bureaucratic machinery of the health care system, and how ethics decisions--once the dilemmas of troubled individuals--become the setting for political turf battles between occupational interest groups. The result is a combination of realism with a theoretical argument about moral life in large organizations. --From publisher description.
