CARE AND CITIZENSHIP

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the problems of citizenship which currently prevail in both feminist and non-feminist discourses. even though the feminist philosophy produces plentiful critique of models of citizenship which dominate the Western philosophy at the moment it does not present many positive alternatives. This article analyses probably one from the most interesting and original conceptions of the kind of citizens does the modern world require. the article is focused on the examination of the conception of citizenship in the ethics of care and its relation to the models of citizenship which prevail in contemporary political and moral philosophy. It is suggested that the conception of citizenship inherent in the ethics of care is an emerging alternative to the liberal and republican models of citizenship. Keywords: citizenship, ethics of care, liberalism, republicanism.
