Summary
Nel Noddings, one of the central figures in the contemporary discussion of ethics and moral education, argues that caring--a way of life learned at home--can be extended into a theory that guides social policy. Tackling issues such as capital punishment, drug treatment, homelessness, mental illness, and abortion, Noddings inverts traditional philosophical priorities to show how an ethic of care can have profound and compelling implications for social and political thought.

Summary
"Reclaiming Knowledge reasserts the importance of a strong view of knowledge for a robust sociology of knowledge, for analysing and formulating curricula, and for a responsible approach to education policy." "A recurring theme of the book is that constructivism, as a broad anti-epistemological movement, has taken a perfectly reasonable set of theses about the social constitution of knowledge, and radicalised it into a set of sceptical claims about reality itself. This has had pernicious effects upon the formulation of policy, the practice of education and the conduct of government." "Divided into three sections, the first section provides a general introduction to the notion of knowledge as a dynamic set of social interpretations which converge or diverge under certain conditions. The second section considers the issue of economic globalisation, and asks whether there are special requirements for thought and knowledge in such a world. Section three considers the emergence of new forms of thinking about curriculum and pedagogy, and the possibilities and limits of these forms of thinking. Section four does the same for policy formulation and analysis. The central question underlying each investigation is: how, in a world of uncertainty and challenge, do we develop a responsible knowledge practice?"--Jacket.

Given the task of providing adequate mental health care to the burgeoning U.S. prison population, including those thousands with serious mental illnesses who have defaulted from the nation's disjointed mental health systems, the book provides a consideration of approaches and ideas beyond those generated in the domestic academic-practitioner community, including the mental health concerns that transcend borders and national sovereignty. In this category are the treatment and management of te.

Summary
Feminist Ethics and Social Policy presents complex social issues in light of a feminist ethical perspective. The spirited essays collected here critique gender blindness and biases in traditional ethical theory while developing more gender-sensitive theories and concepts. Taken together, they conceptualize issues of right action, social justice, and the human good out of the specifically gendered experience of diverse groups of women.
