About this blog
This blog is a university project within the framework of a seminar on care ethics. I basically discuss care ethics and share my insights from a standpoint informed by this ethics. The seminar is in German, but for the sake of focusing more on the content and allow more people to read it internationally, I write it in English.
About the autors
I am a third-year French philosophy student, currently in exchange for the summer semester 2026 in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. I like reading philosophy, literature, and human/social sciences above all; writing a lot, hiking, and art; and, like everyone, partying and having fun. Then I am a kind of left-wing and syndicalist activist in my home country, and I take questions of political organization, thinking, and social critics as things that matter. I’m always happy to discuss all these topics… you only have to contact me!
About the ontological and social presupposition of ethics
So, in philosophical terms, I adopt a minimal materialist conception of concrete and social being, where the real and corporally situated, still able to reflect on this situation in their minds, are agents or individuals who embody a particular point of view, taken in a contextual, historical, and materially shaped social world, with cooperation and domination. A valuable ethic is political and must take account of this reality or necessarily fail. Through my articles and reading, I wish to introduce more people to this conception of being.
About the my own limited and situated standpoint
I don’t think that I can speak from a completely detached original position. I am aware through experience, reading, and self-reflection that I am a white man of the cultural petite bourgeoisie middle class, living in a student environment of the wealthier and somehow privileged Western world, and so my own social position largely shapes my relations, views, ways to act, care, feel, and think.
That I am or am not conscious about it doesn’t change this claim as a core fact in itself, outside a radical involvement in social change. Even if I were to try to tend to objectivity, it is more of a possibility that I would be biased. More than all, I reject completely the fact of being « neutral »: my values and involvement in this society, starting from my own standpoint, matter more than pretending to represent the ultimate and so-called disinterested truth of everything, yet and for the eternity.
