The book challenges traditional moral theories that emphasize impartiality, arguing for the significance of partiality and care in ethical reasoning. Friedman explores how feminist thinking re-evaluates concepts of self, autonomy, and community, and how these reconsiderations impact our understanding of personal bonds. The work is structured into three parts: \"Partiality and Impartiality,\" which critiques abstract moral principles and advocates for relational ethics; \"Care and Justice,\" examining the role of care in moral development and its connection to societal structures; and \"Friendship,\" offering a nuanced analysis of friendship's moral dimensions, its evolution, and its critical role in personal growth and identity formation. Friedman posits that a robust moral theory must account for the particularity of personal relationships, moving beyond universal generalizations to embrace the richness and demands of genuine human connection. This foundational text calls for a moral framework that honors the values of connection, empathy, and commitment inherent in friendships and other intimate ties, thereby enriching both individual lives and societal well-being through a more relational and less abstract approach to ethics.","# Wbat\n\nFeminist  \nPerspectives  \n# on\n\nPersonalRelationships  \nandFriendsMoral  \nTheoryFor?  \nMarilyn  \nFriedman  \nDigitized by the Internet Archivein 2022 with funding fromKahle/Austin Foundation  \nWHAT AREFRIENDS FOR?  \n# Feminist Perspectives onPersonal Relationshipsand Moral Theory\n\nMARILYN FRIEDMAN  \nCopyright ◎1993 by Cornell University  \nAll rights reserved.Except for brief quotations in a review,this book,orparts thereof,must not be reproduced in any form without permission inwriting from the publisher.For information,address Cornell UniversityPress,Sage House,512 East State Street,Ithaca,New York 14850.  \nFirst published 1993 by Cornell University Press.  \nInternational Standard Book Number o-8014-2721-5(cloth)  \nInternational Standard Book Number o-8014-8004-3(paper)  \nLibrary of Congress Catalog Card Number 93-25812  \nPrinted in the United States of America  \nLibrarians:Library of Congress cataloging information appears on thelast page of the book.  \nThe paper in this book meets the minimum requirements of theAmerican National Standard for Information Sciences-Permanence ofPaper for Printed Library Materials,ANSI Z39.48-1984.  \nDEDICATED TO  \nTHE MEMORY OF MY PARENTS,  \nFLORENCE KATZ SOTZKY  \nEDWARD SOTZKY  \nAcknowledgmentsix  \nIntroduction1  \n## Part I.Partiality and Impartiality\n\n1.The Impracticality of Impartiality9  \n2.The Practice of Partiality35  \n3.The Social Self and the Partiality Debates62  \n## Part II.Care and Justice\n\n4.Care and Context in Moral Reasoning91  \n5.Gendered Morality117  \n6.Liberating Care142  \n## Part II.Friendship\n\n7.Friendship and Moral Growth  \n187  \n8.Friendship,Choice,and Change207  \n9.Feminism and Modern Friendship:Dislocating theCommunity231  \nSelected Bibliography257Index271  \n[vii]","cbCaiawTYpvfRoBa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiawTYpvfRoBa","pdf",15073036,3,1,300,"English","en",105,"# Part I.
