Overview

In "Speaking from the Heart", Rita Manning has added an important contribution to the growing literature on feminist moral theory and ethics. Manning presents an original and ambitious study of the moral practice and moral intuitions which are infused by a commitment to an ethic of care. In doing so, she challenges the received wisdom about moral philosophy-that to reason morally one must appeal to underlying principles rather than one's own experience.
