摘要

This short paper builds upon the recent work by Jennifer Nedelsky and Tom Malleson, titled Part-Time for All: A Care Manifesto. The authors present a strong case for reimagining modern societies with a focus on care norms and practices. Care is intrinsically valuable and should not be exclusively linked to gender or perceived merely as a secondary concern in relation to work. Nedelsky and Malleson envision a society where everyone engages in paid part-time jobs while also participating in unpaid part-time care activities. We support the goals outlined in the book. To enrich the discussion, we highlight two aspects that, in our opinion, were briefly mentioned but are crucial for advancing toward a part-time model accessible to all: the importance of self-care and the connection between care and spirituality.
