"Tronto's analysis is helpful, as it offers a framework to distinguish four emerging characteristics of care ethics that become apparent in this volume. ... the volume indicates what a combination of normative reflection, empirical research, and critical power analysis can contribute to making our societies more caring and more democratic."
