Estética del cuidado : La práctica en la vida cotidiana

According to Yuriko Saito, aesthetics cannot be reduced to a philosophy of art; rather, it is intimately connected to our daily lives, to the care of the everyday, that is, to the relationship we establish with the other, whether human beings, non-human creatures, environments, or objects. Beyond its identification with an ethical imperative, care is an essential part of an understanding of aesthetics that seeks to enrich people's lives and define how we relate to the world. Drawing inspiration from the ethics of care and Japanese culture and aesthetics, the author shows us the inseparability of the ethical and the aesthetic in the pursuit of the good life and a virtuous self.
