Consensual Discourse and the Ideal of Caring

Authors

  • Sheila Mullett Concordia University

Abstract

In this paper, I discuss the extent to which caring for others involves relinquishing our own perspective and assuming the viewpoint of the one for which we care. I argue that there is no need to shed one's perspective, but that even in contexts in which the cared-for is the victim of political oppression there are occasions when caring might call for confrontation.
