ABSTRACT

Moreover, thinking about social arrangements in terms of arrow of care maps will help to identify further differences in the social positions of women of color and white women. Like John Rawls, focus is the basic structure as the subject of social justice. Despite author argument’s reliance on only a thin set of premises, its effects are likely to be jarring to readers who consider socialization and teaching skills to be beyond the proper role of the state. In the United States, for instance, it is vital that we teach young boys the skills of attentiveness, responsiveness, and an epistemic stance as a transparent self. Other readers may find strong proceduralism’s requirement to teach caregiving skills too weak to be an adequate response to the injustice of the state of affairs. People need to develop both sets of skills to achieve and maintain a just society, but they do not guarantee a just society.
