Review Questions:

1. Distinguish between the justice and care perspective. According to Gilligan, how do these perspectives develop?

She stated that women would most likely choose justice perspective rather than care becuase care is a woman's role in life. Women give birth and all women take care of their child. Well, that excludes those who abort or abondon their child.

2. Explain Kohlberg’s theory of moral development. What criticisms do Gilligan and Baier make of this theory?

There are three theories of moral development, which are: Pre-conventional level, Conventional, and Post-conventional.

I think that Gilligan is constrasting to Kohlberg's theory and they both think that people weren't that interested on Kohlbegs.

3. Baier says there are three important differences between Kantian liberals and their critics. What are these differences?

The relative weight put on relationships between equal, the relative weight put on freedom of choice, and the authority of intellect over emotions.

4. Why does Baier attack the Kantian view that the reason should control unruly passions?

Because she said that history speaks for itself, that is why she attacks the Knatian view.

Discussion Questions:

1.  What does Baier mean when she speaks of the need "to transvalue the values of our patriarchal past"? Do new values replace the old ones? If so, do we abandon justice, freedom, and rights?

I think what she means is that making new values and replacing the old ones. Values are very welcome. It's just that they are not suppose to overwrite the old ones. Not unless if its better than the old one I think.

2. What is wrong with Kantian view that extends equal rights to all rational beings, including women and minorities? What would Baier say? What do you think?

Baier said that she doesn't like the Kantian view because of history.

3. Baier seems to reject the Kantian emphasis on freedom of choice. Granted, we do not choose our parents, but still don't we have freedom of choice about many things, and isn't this very important?

As a religious person, I do think that it is part of life and it is part of God's plan. Philosophers sometimes think too much instead of enjoying life.
