Maurice Hamington

Maurice Hamington, a philosopher and professor at Portland State University, explores his latest book, Revolutionary Care: Commitment and Ethos. He contrasts care ethics with traditional moral theories like utilitarianism, emphasizing its feminist roots and the influence of thinkers like Carol Gilligan. The conversation highlights global care traditions, including those from marginalized communities, and discusses the transformative potential of care as a political force. Hamington also advocates for nonideal morality and the revolutionary changes small acts of care can bring.
