Similarly, this book teaches us about the ethics of care. The book titled as “Feminist ethics in film: Reconfiguring care through cinema, which examines the ways in which popular film, rather than art house or foreign cinema, conveys and configures a particular philosophical view the ethics of care. In film, the feminist ethics covers the quasi-biographies on offer at the cinema and also explains how these stories and relationships expand our theoretical grasp of care based ethics that have been overlooked in less contextualized discussions. In addition, this book also examines the relationships between care and community, autonomy, family and self-transformation.
