Abstract
My dissertation project, ‘Rethinking Development from the Ethics of Care’, explores how the widely accepted narrative around human nature as homo economicus sustains development as capitalism. Yet, the climate emergency urges us to search for alternatives to our current developmental model. Therefore, by exploring an alternative understanding of human nature, as homo curans, which translates to caring people, I engage with the ethics of care as a theoretical challenge to the development of capitalism.
