Everyone seems to be talking about care these days, but why should I care? In this book, Todd May offers a lucid and comprehensive overview of the current discussions about the many philosophical meanings of care. -- Joan Tronto, author of Moral Boundaries: A Political Argument for an Ethic of Care The clear language, humorous asides, and a fairly expansive explanation of major ideas surrounding the meaning of care and care ethics make this short book an excellent resource for undergraduates, non-specialists, and really, anyone who cares about a meaningful life and world. -- Sally Fischer, Professor of Philosophy, Warren Wilson College, Asheville, NC If you care about improving your life and becoming a morally better, more caring person or perhaps especially if you dont now care about these matters you will benefit greatly from reading this book. It is astonishing that Todd May has managed to convey so much wisdom in a book so short, humorous, and enjoyable to read. -- Jeff McMahan, Sekyra and Whites Professor of Moral Philosophy, University of Oxford
