The feminine ethic of care and reflection in the concept of autonomy

Autonomy is one of the most important components of modernism which has connection with humanism in the realm of political and moral theories. Two important pillars of the autonomy are believing on Intellectual independence of the human subject and also having some ability to fulfillment of practical goals. However, the assumptions of autonomy have been criticized by different thoughts. One of the most important criticisms in the relation of autonomy especially in recent times, has been presented from the point of view of the ethics of care, particularly by reference to Carol Gilligan's views. By emphasizing the tolerant, dynamic and relational identities that emerge especially in women and their moral and psychological personality, the ethics of care has criticized the conventional notion of modern autonomy specially ethics of justice because of its emphasis on abstract, universal and ultra-contextual bases which is male discourse in its nature. So, in this paper, while expressing criticisms of the ethics of care on autonomy, would be presented the special narrative of ethics of care on the autonomy.
