Carol Gilligan has critiqued conventional psychological theories for narrowing the model of personality development and relegating the “care” perspective—which emphasises human relationships—to a subordinate, gendered status as a feminine moral perspective. By envisioning an enmeshment of the “ethic of justice” and “ethic of care,” Gilligan has established a new academic foundation to address global issues related to care.
