An ethic of care can be distinguished from an ethic based on autonomous rights, utilitarian principles, or indeed principles of any kind, since care has less to do with intellect than with emotions and will. Moreover, an ethic of care is consistent with the example of Jesus and the virtues advocated by the apostle Paul. Emily A. Hitchens and Lilyan S. Snow make their case with particular reference to accounts by Civil War nurses, who developed the skills of care without precedent and without the expectation of cure that scientific medicine has aroused.
关怀伦理可以与基于自主权利、功利主义原则或任何种类原则的伦理区分开来，因为关怀与情感和意志的关系大于与理智的关系。此外，关怀伦理与耶稣的榜样以及使徒保罗所倡导的美德是一致的。艾米丽·A·希钦斯和莉莲·S·斯诺特别参照了美国内战护士的记述来阐述她们的观点，这些护士以前所未有的方式培养了关怀技能，且没有科学医学所引发的治愈期望。
