Shallow educational response to deep social change -- Caring -- Beyond the disciplines : a critique of liberal education -- An alternative vision -- Caring and continuity -- Caring for self -- Caring in the inner circle -- Caring for strangers and distant others -- Caring for animals, plants, and the Earth -- Caring for the human-made world -- Caring for ideas -- Getting started in schools.
In this second edition of her educational text, Noddings suggests that if we make the responsiveness characteristic of caring more basic than accountability, we can accommodate both traditional and progressive preferences in one school system to the benefit of all... especially the children.
