Annette Baier

Annette Baier was a philosopher known for her contributions to moral philosophy, particularly the Ethics of Care. She emphasized the importance of relationships, empathy, and shared human experience in ethical decision-making. Baier argued that traditional ethical theories often overlooked the value of care and nurturing in moral considerations, which are fundamental to human life. Her work sought to balance rationality with emotional understanding, highlighting that ethical behavior arises not just from rules or logic but from our connections with others and the responsibilities these connections entail.
