She called this relationship-oriented reasoning the “ethic of care” and contrasted it with the “ethic of justice,” which often entails imposing universal principles or rights, even forcefully, to resolve conflict. Dr. Gilligan does not merely contrast these differently positioned ethical frameworks; rather her life work has been deeply concerned with an enmeshment of the two for a more fully realized understanding of human maturity and development. Her work offers a new academic foundation for addressing global societal challenges like women’s empowerment and the welfare of the elderly and disabled.Dr. Gilligan is a University Professor at New York University. She previously taught at Harvard University, University of Chicago, and Cambridge University.ABOUT THE KYOTO PRIZE:The Kyoto Prize, established in 1984, is Japan’s highest private award, recognizing outstanding contributions in Advanced Technology, Basic Sciences, and Arts & Philosophy.
