Description
Summary:In this paper, I evaluate a number of care-based political theories, whose central project is to identify, frame, and address the so-called crisis of care. Three proposals emerge, which I characterize as the philosophical, economic, and political solutions. In light of recent transnational analyses, however, these solutions appear to be inadequate in addressing the global nature of the problem. Thus, there is a need to revise the political philosophy of care. To this end, I identify a set of preliminary questions to ask based on a careful consideration of the Philippine situation. © 2020 Noelle Leslie G. Dela Cruz.
