Justice and Care in Close Relationships

Hypatia 8 (3):48 - 60 (1993)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

The essay examines the impartialist view of justice as the first virtue of all relationships. I argue that in close associations where duties, obligations, and rights of persons are situationally contingent, abstract principles of justice fail to yield a unified moral perspective about what is fair. Solidarity and trust as moral emotions develop more complex moral competencies that go beyond what principles of justice alone require.
