"The Core of Care Ethics is an original and insightful book. Collins offers rigorous and detailed analyses of many of the core concepts of care ethics and in the process brings greater analytical precision to them. Care theorists will benefit immensely from engaging with Collins's arguments ... . her book brings new depth and clarity to the theory while making it more accessible to mainstream analytical philosophers. ... it is an extremely valuable contribution to the literature on care ethics." (Daniel Engster, Hypatia, hypatiaphilosophy.org, January, 2016) 'Are care ethics a moral theory? Stephanie Collins offers this synthesis to demonstrate its coherence: 'dependency relationships generate responsibilities.' After Collins' reformulation, moral philosophers no longer can ignore care ethics. It is also essential reading for supporters of care ethics. This is a smart and indispensable book.' Joan C. Tronto, University of Minnesota, USA, author of Moral Boundaries: A Political Argument for an Ethic of Care
