​This study explores the significance of the ethics of care in contemporary Western moral thought and how it challenges the liberal approach to understanding the self and addressing social and political needs. The ethics of care rejects the notion of the self as an abstract and isolated entity, emphasizing instead the interconnectedness and interdependence of individuals within society. It aims to demonstrate that the liberal approach, based on the principle of equality, fails to capture the complexity of human relationships and neglects the importance of values such as love, compassion, and emotional sensitivity. The study argues that integrating the ethics of care into democratic practices can offer a different perspective on morality and infuse political processes with a nurturing character. The goal is not to feminize ethics, as some critics claim, but to enrich liberal justice with a deeper understanding of human experiences and narrative identities.
