ISBN: 0674548329 ISBN-13: 9780674548329 Publisher: Harvard Graduate School of Education OUR PRICE: $34.65 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: March 1989 Annotation: In the fourteen articles collected in this volume, Gilligan and her colleagues expand the theoretical base of "In A Different Voice" and apply their research methods to a variety of life situations. The contrasting voices of justice and care clarify different ways in which women and men speak about relationships and lend different meanings to connection, dependence, autonomy, responsibility loyalty, peer pressure, and violence. By examining the moral dilemmas and self-descriptions of children, high school students, urban youth, medical students, mothers, lawyers, and others, the authors chart a new terrain: a mapping of the moral domain that includes the voices of women. In this new terrain the authors trace far-reaching implications of the inclusion of women's voices for developmental psychology, for education, for women, and for men. |
