Relationships of care in medicine and care work are characterized by existential debates concerning the decisive questions of what it means to be human. What can classical philosophy contribute to these discussions? In this book, Patrick Schuchter has repurposed the principles of the care of the self of classical philosophy into a care of others in a contemporary context. Coming from a broad and hermeneutically-founded concept of care, the text leads to a radical re-formation of ethics. In so doing, it provides the impetus for an informed philosophical practice and way of living in daily life and at work.
