Philosophical foundations of the polysemy of the concept of “care”

The article is a review of B. Groys’s Philosophy of Care (transl. from English by A. Fomenko. Moscow: New Literary Observer, 2024. 120 p.). This short book presents the conceptual foundations for the study of care as having fundamental importance in terms of the relationship between autonomy and dependence, self-care and external, institutional care, i.e., care is not just an “applied” term with which we tend to describe some ideal state of affairs (emotional content of labor in the broad sense) in medicine, education, cultural heritage preservation, environmental safety, etc.
