About this episode
Professor Kozlowski discusses the Ethics of Care as a revolutionary alternative to liberal government theory.
The Ethics of Care presents one of the most cogent and effective alternatives to liberal government theory current today. It is revolutionary, empathetic, inclusive, and compelling. Today, Professor Kozlowski outlines the theory and practice of the Ethics of Care (as presented in Held's The Ethics of Care and Pirate Care by Graziano et al. ) as a culmination of his discussions of liberal theory, anarchism, activism, and contemporary political practice. This is what the future could look like, folks. Don't miss it. Additional readings today include: Graeber, Pirate Enlightenment, or the Real Libertalia Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath Silko, Ceremony and a double video game recommendation - probably two of the greatest politically-minded games ever made: Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri Shadowrun: Dragonfall
