本論はノディングスの『ケアリング』をもとに、最初にノディングスのケアの定義、次いで、普遍化可能性に関する考え方、そして事例を通して彼女が推奨するケアの行為を考察し、最期にノディングスのケア論にみる方法上の難点とその背景を論じる。

The aim of this paper is to examine N.Noddings' central ideas regarding the ethics of care. Noddings defines the core sense of care as engrossment to those to whom the caretaker is emotionally attached, and she encourages caregivers to act not according to moral reasoning and principles, but according to personal existential decisions. She also rejects the concept of universalizability of moral values. However, caring in it of itself is not necessarily morally good. In order to evaluate the act of caring as morally good or moderate, caregivers must have another frame of reference outside of caring. Therefore, one must employ the notion of universalizability in order to maintain a frame of reference with which one can then examine the value of acts of caregiving. I argue that these incongruences in her theory stem from her rejection of the concept of universalizability, along with her rejection of principles and rules as the major guide to ethical behavior.
