Care
From a society of carelessness towards a caring world
Care is a social process connected to all everyday human relationships. Strictly speaking, care can be seen as a practice owned by certain individuals who take care of others who are unable to do it for themselves. Broadly speaking, it can be understood as a social skill intersecting with interdependence and mutual aid, consisting of an emotion and an activity that cannot be limited to narrowly defined labor. From childcare, care for the elderly, and the disabled up to care for the environment, and from medical care up to the welfare state, this notion is hence dynamically emerging today and is proposed as an organizing principle for a world beyond the individualistic logic of contemporary capitalist societies.
