Vrinda Dalmiya

Caring to Know

Comparative Care Ethics, Feminist Epistemology, and the Mahabharata

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The manuscript explores the plausibility of care-based epistemology in a comparative key. Investigating the epistemic virtue of care-giving, the work weaves together insights from care ethics, virtue epistemology and a particular reading of the Mah¿bh¿rata which, left to themselves, do not appear compatible with one another. Drawing on these traditions, the work goes on to provide a feminist vision of search for truth that is consistent with both ethical relations and interventions for justice.
