ABSTRACT

This paper aims to introduce the features of caring education as an alternative moral education and highlight its expansion beyond the realm of morality into the realm of politics and society, thereby suggesting the political and social implications of caring education for future citizenship education. It first introduces the ethics of care that has been developed and presented since then, including Nel Noddings’s ethics of care, and expands on it compared to Noddings’s discussion. Second, unlike previous studies centered on Noddings, it examines the educational implications for future citizens of care ethics that has been extended to political and social aspects. Third, given that caring education is connected to fundamental question of what kind of education a moral citizen needs, it moves beyond Noddings’s ‘moral humanism’ education to a politically and socially expanded education for humanity, which I refer to as ‘political humanism’ and examines the implications for future citizenship education for fostering this.
