Philosophy of Care

Nowadays, it is clear that care is rarely considered as a way of changing and overcoming this general crisis involving man's relationship with himself, with others, with nature, and with all beings. If we look at it in practice, care is not taken into consideration either. It is in this environment that the need arises to construct a concept of care that rebuilds the relationship between people who are distancing themselves from one another. We need a consistent concept, something that can be applied as a paradigm in human relationships. This paradigmatic and libertarian concept, in turn, began to be developed from the discussions of great thinkers in the field of scientific knowledge. These discussions involved many physicists, including Fritjof Capra, one of the authors Leonardo Boff used to write about care. Capra attempted to revolutionize scientific thinking with his systemic theory, in which he perceives beings as networks within networks, thus creating an interconnection between all. Systemic thinking helps us to sustain the idea that we are all part of each other's lives and should therefore have mutual respect.
