Fabienne Brugère - L'Éthique du Care

How can we place care and attention to others at the heart of our societal project? Fabienne Brugère presents her book "The Ethics of Care," published by PUF in the "Que sais-je?" series. Find the book here: https://www.mollat.com/livres/6489/fa... Fabienne Brugère explores the roots and ambitions of the ethics of care, a concept born from a critique of neoliberalism in the 1980s. She defines care as a practice of everyday life that connects the psychological dimension of concern for others with the physical act of providing care. By reconnecting philosophy to the senses, Fabienne Brugère offers essential insights into what truly forges social bonds in our contemporary societies. The interview highlights the work of major figures such as Carol Gilligan, author of "In a Different Voice," and Joan Tronto, who theorized the concept in "A Vulnerable World." Fabienne Brugère explains how these thinkers have politicized care, making it a pillar of public life. At the heart of this analysis are the concepts of vulnerability and interdependence. Rather than adhering to a rigid injunction to autonomy, Fabienne Brugère encourages us to recognize our shared vulnerabilities, whether related to health, unemployment, or environmental crises. The discussion ultimately outlines the contours of a sensitive democracy. Drawing on the example of the film "The Separation," Fabienne Brugère illustrates the consequences of a lack of care. She argues for a collective organization capable of supporting both early childhood and old age, while transforming working relationships through trust. 00:00 Definition and origins of care 01:05 Critique of the neoliberal model 02:10 Carol Gilligan and Joan Tronto 03:30 Politicizing care activities 04:45 Vulnerability in the face of autonomy 06:00 Interdependence and social connection 07:15 The capability approach 08:20 Care in democracies 09:20 Analysis of the film "The Separation" 10:10 Towards a sensitive democracy
