Notes

  1. All page references are to Clayton (2006) unless clearly indicated otherwise.

  2. Hankivsky’s discussion of the need and implications of taking care seriously in social policy is especially valuable. Chapter 1 of her monograph defends the claim that we must “recognize the value and uniqueness of the care ethic” in order to combine it with the “values of justice to ensure a balanced and reasoned resolution of practical issues and social problems” (Hankivsky 2004, p. 25).

  3. See Morgan (1996).
