In this book, authors from a wide interdisciplinary spectrum discuss the issue of care. The book covers both philosophical and therapeutic studies and contains a three-pronged approach to discussing the concepts of care: vulnerability, otherness, and therapy. Above all, it is a matter of combining, in a plural form, a path with multiple theoretical and conceptual bifurcations, but which always point to an observation of society from the perspective of human vulnerability.

Rezensionen
"As a palliative care physician, with dual expertise and interest in clinical ethics and bioethics, I found this book a breath of fresh air ... . Editors Joaquim Braga and Mário Santiago de Carvalho have brought together a diverse and insightful group of thinkers and writers, and curated an excellent contribution to the theoretical discourse on care as it relates to our work and our world."
