Document Summary
Morality is based on 2 feelings: the sentiment of natural caring care for the other, the sentiment of moral caring care-for-another as we ourselves are cared-for. Caring is fundamental and foundational (care for self, care for offspring, care for affiliates) Dependency condition runs one way we cannot have the sentiment of moral caring without having the sentiment for natural caring. Dyadic ethical relation of care: 1) the one-caring, 2) the cared-for. Noddings: the ethical ideal of one-caring is built up in relation. It reaches out to the other and grows in response to the other (81) Caring must be practiced and applied in concrete situations and relations; we cannot care-for in abstraction i. e. if caring occurs to you at all, you are immediately committed to concrete caring. From whence the obligation to care: direct feeling of having-concern-for, direct response to a situation calling you to care. E. g. seeing someone in anguish and responding by alleviating the cause of suffering.
