Question 555

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is NOT one of the four key claims of care ethics?


A) Agents should deliberate about particular actions by (1) identifying moral principles that are relevant to the case and then (2) using sympathy to identify the information about the case that is relevant to those principles before (3) combining the results of the first two steps to reach a final conclusion.
B) To the extent that they have value to individuals in the relationship, relationships ought to be (1) treated as moral paradigms, (2) valued, preserved, or promoted/formed, and (3) acknowledged as giving rise to weighty duties.
C) Agents should have caring attitudes, that is, attitudes that: (1) have as their object something that has interests or something that might affect something that has interests; that (2) are a positive response (e.g. promoting, respecting, revering) to those interests; and that (3) lead the agent's affects, desires, decisions, attention, and so on to be influenced by how the agent believes things are going with the interest bearer.
D) (1) Agents should perform actions under the (perhaps tacit) intention of fulfilling (or going some way to fulfilling) interest(s) that the agent perceives some moral person (the recipient) to have; (2) the strength of this "should" is determined by the moral value of action, which is a function of the strength of the intention, the likelihood that the action will fulfil the interest, and the extent to which the interest is appropriately described as a "need."
