Preferred term

maternal ethics  

Definition

  • Maternal ethics are an approach to formulating ethical theory by holding the mother-child relationship to be central. The paradigm for understanding ethical conduct is thus a relationship between unequals who are vested in each other's well-being rather than that of two autonomous self-interested males. [Source: Encyclopedia of Business Ethics and Society; Maternal Ethics]
