Ethics of care, an ethical theory that emphasizes interpersonal relationships, emotions, and moral responsibility, is gaining increasing attention in the modern public sphere. Virginia Held advocates extending care beyond personal interactions to the public domain. Practicing care in the public sphere allows for a shift away from the utilitarian principle of "greatest good" or the rigid rationality of deontological ethics. Instead, it focuses on individuals' emotional needs, vulnerabilities, and social relationships. This approach not only elevates the moral dimension of policies but also enhances their inclusiveness towards people, society, and nature.
