CAROSIO, Alba. La ética feminista: Más allá de la justicia. Revista Venezolana de Estudios de la Mujer [online]. 2007, vol.12, n.28, pp.159-184. ISSN 1316-3701.

This paper has the aim of proposing a feminist ethics capable to provide the valúes about the care and concrete approach to universal ethics. Feminism has signified an upset for androcentric order which proposes a realisation of abstract contractual power hiding concrete dominations. Feminism of '70s showed the daily social structure of power from the conviction that «the personal is political», so its intention was to build a new kind of power, which originales a political ethics. The ethics of justice must be completed with an ethics of careness, based on the lovely relationship, mercy and responsibility for others, which are valúes historically developed so far by women. Henee the careness is proposed as social responsibility and no a simple individual choice, and as a social transformative valué of living together
