Feder (eds.) Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Lanham, 2002, 336pp. ISBN:0742513637. Contemporary Political Theory (2004) 3, 358–360. doi:10.1057/palgrave.cpt.9300147 Before freedom, there is dependency. With dependency comes the need for care. But who exactly does the bulk of life’s caretaking? Why has caretaking work frequently gone unacknowledged as real ‘labor’ (and how have gender, race and class affected its treatment)? Can contemporary political theory effectively displace the ideologically-driven fiction of the citizen as a self- sufficient, independent individual and develop more secure principles and rights to protect dependents and their caretakers? The 16 contributors to this volume raise such questions and insist upon collective attentiveness to the impoverishment and exploitation that often marks the lives of caretakers and their ‘charges’. While tackling many issues from a distinctly feminist perspective, these contributors also provide reflections and proposals that are essential readingfor any political theorist, philosopher or activist currently committed to a substantive vision of freedom and a progressive approach to social justice. Part I provides conceptual analysis and historical insights into the meaning of dependency. Nancy Fraser and Linda Gordon’s notable genealogy explores ‘registers’ of dependency (related to economic, sociological, political and moral-psychological conditions (p. 16)) and how normative claims about those who appear dependent have shifted over time, especially in relation to the dominant discourse of liberal capitalism.

Essays in Philosophy is a biannual journal published by Pacific nivU ersity Library | ISSN 1526-0569 | http://commons.pacificu.edu/eip/ Essays in Philosophy Essays in Philosophy A Biannual Journal Vol. 9, No. 1, January 2008 Cognitive Disability, Capabilities, and Justice Abstract: I argue that capabilities approaches are useful in formulating a political theory that takes seriously the needs of persons with severe cognitive disabilities (PSCD). I establish three adequacy criteria for theories of justice that take seriously the needs of PSCD: A) understanding PSCD as oppressed, B) positing a single standard of what is owed to PSCD abled individuals, and C) concern with flourishing as well as political liberty. I claim that conceiving valued capabilities as the end of social distribution may help a political theory to meet these criteria. I posit three further adequacy criteria: D) refusing to see PSCD as less than human, E) valuing moral powers other than practical reason, and F) securing space for care and dependency relationships. I show that how well Elizabeth Anderson and Martha Nussbaum’s capabilities approaches meet these criteria depends on their divergent conceptions of what capabilities are for.

  • Autonomy, Relationality, and Feminist Ethics
    Autonomy, Relationality, and Feminist Ethics JEAN KELLER While care ethics has frequently been criticized for lacking an account ofauton- omy, this paper argues that care ethics’ relational model of moral agency provides the basis for criticizing the philosophical tradttion’s model of autonomy and for rethinking autonomy in relational terms. Using Diana Meyers’s account of autonomy compe- tency as a basis, a dialogical model of autonomy is developed that can respond to internal and external critiques of care ethics. Care ethics has frequently been criticized for failing to address how women’s practice of care places women’s autonomy in jeopardy. The question of the implications of care ethics for our conception of autonomy, however, has been asked less frequently.’ This is the question that concerns me here. After first examining the general terrain of the “autonomy-care ethics debate,” focusing on the difficulties that autonomy and care ethics pose for one another,’ I turn to my central concern: laying the groundwork for a relational model of autonomy. Although it is still unclear whether care ethics will survive as the feminist ethic of the future, it would appear that whatever shape feminist ethics ends up taking, it will incorporate a relational model of moral agency. That is, the insight that the moral agent is an “encumbered self,” who is always already embedded in relations with flesh-and-blood others and is partly constituted by these relations, is here to stay. Thus, although my analysis addresses care ethics in particular, to the extent that other feminist approaches to ethics also rely on a relational model of moral agency, the issues raised here will, I hope, be relevant to feminist ethics more generall~.~ Hyptia vol.

Because people with disabilities have been considered to “deviate” from the able-bodied norm and have been systematically oppressed, there came a need to redefine disability in response to the cultural and medical narratives that historically associated disability with defectiveness, insufficiency, and imperfection.1 With the aid of medicine, the goal was to cure the disability and return the body to its original, healthy state. Thus, the body that “has the ‘right’ number of smoothly functional limbs and organs,” does not “drool, spasm, jerk, wheeze, wheel, limp, stutter, piss, or fart uncontrollably either in private or public realms.”2 The power to define and regulate impairment, disorder, malfunction, disfigurement, or dysfunction in either the body or the brain, lay in the hands of medical practitioners.

Brison Professor of Philosophy, Dartmouth College This dissertation is accepted by the Graduate School Charles Taber Dean of the Graduate School ii Abstract of the Dissertation Vulnerability’s Demands by Katharine Wolfe Doctor of Philosophy in Philosophy Stony Brook University 2015 Persons, in the words of Annette Baier, are “essentially second persons” (“Cartesian Persons” 1981, 172). Not only are we ‘second persons’ insofar as personhood arises through a childhood in the care of others, and insofar as each of us is born new in an old world where our entry has always been preceded by others; persons are also second persons insofar as we each know ourselves as a ‘you’ before knowing ourselves as an ‘I’. This work explores one strand of what it means for the self to be thus bound to others. A self so bound is a self that not only experiences deep needs for the care of others but that is also able to experience a robust set of needs to care for others, many of which take the form of second person needs.

  • Relational Personhood Jonathan Herring*
    Keele Law Review, Volume 1 (2020), 24-41 24 ISSN 2732-5679 Relational Personhood Jonathan Herring* Abstract This article discusses the basis on which it is determined that something or someone has moral personhood. It rejects mainstream approaches which rely on intellectual attributes or membership of the human species as the markers of personhood. An approach based on intellectual abilities leads to a denial of the moral status of those with cognitive impairments. The emphasis on membership of the human species struggles to explain why such membership in itself generates moral status. Instead this article promotes the view that moral values is found in caring relationships. It argues that this better captures what we regard as morally valuable and reflects the true nature of what it is to be human. This approach is potentially very significant for lawyers because the law tends to promote the rights and well-being of individuals, considered in isolation. Instead we should be designing our legal system around the promotion of caring relationships. I. Introduction Debates over personhood raise some fundamental questions for lawyers. Is a fetus a person and so deserving of a right to life? Is it appropriate to switch off the life support machine of someone in a persistent vegetative state? What should be the legal status of people with profound mental impairments? These questions are of even greater significance than they originally imply because they go to the heart of what makes human living good and valuable. This article will start with a brief discussion of the nature of personhood.1 It will then set out the two most prominent schools of thought on what a person is and concludes that neither of these is satisfactory.
