Influential Book

In her influential book In a Different Voice, Carol Gilligan argues that women and men construe moral problems differently and that these differences have important implications for moral theory. Her discussion is built around a series of contrasts: she maintains, among other things, that women’s moral thought tends to be concrete and contextual rather than abstract, personal rather than impersonal, and oriented to care rather than duty. However, this chapter argues that these and related oppositions have always been part of the moral problematic and that their introduction sheds little new light on the theoretical options that are available to us.

Carol Gilligan

Carol Gilligan has delineated two ethics, the ethic of rights and the ethic of care. In this article I argue that the two ethics are part of one overall system, the ethic of care functioning as a necessary base for the ethic of rights. 1 also argue that the system is seriously flawed. Because women are held accountable to both ethics and because the two ethics frequently conflict, women recurrently find themselves in a moral double bind.
