Her results contested a widely accepted model which saw the goal of moral development as the autonomous self speaking in the voice of justice. Published in 1982, Carol Gilligan's "In A Different Voice" proposed a new model of moral reasoning based on care, arguing that it better described the moral life of women. An immediate center of controversy and one of the most widely discussed books of our time, "In A Different" "Voice" launched the ethic of care as a field of study. |
