This article aims to initiate a discussion on the demarcation of the ethics of care. This discussion is necessary because the ethics of care evolves by making use of insights from varying disciplines. As this involves the risk of contamination of the care ethical discipline, the challenge for care ethical scholars is to ensure to retain a distinct care ethical perspective. This may be supported by an open and critical debate on the criteria and boundaries of the ethics of care. As a contribution, this article proposes a tentative outline of the care ethical discipline. What is characteristic of this outline is the emphasis on relational programming, situation-specific and context-bound judgments, a political-ethical perspective, and empirical groundedness. It is argued that the ethics of care is best developed further by means of an intradisciplinary approach. Two intradisciplinary examples show how within the frame of one discipline, other disciplines are absorbed, both with their body of knowledge and their research methodology.
本文旨在引发一场关于关怀伦理学界限的讨论。这场讨论很有必要，因为关怀伦理学是通过借鉴不同学科的见解而发展起来的。由于这涉及到关怀伦理学科被污染的风险，关怀伦理学者面临的挑战是确保保持独特的关怀伦理视角。关于关怀伦理学的标准和界限展开公开且批判性的辩论或许能为此提供支持。作为一份贡献，本文提出了关怀伦理学科的初步大纲。该大纲的特点在于强调关系规划、针对具体情境和受上下文约束的判断、政治伦理视角以及基于实证。有人认为，借助跨学科方法能最好地进一步发展关怀伦理学。两个跨学科的例子展示了在一门学科的框架内，其他学科及其知识体系和研究方法是如何被吸纳的。
