Perspectives such as Tronto’s, together with bringing vulnerability and care to political discussion, offer an interesting counterpoint to my exploration of a notion of ecological practice that could somehow capture the one of local communities in which dependence is acknowledged. Ecological care practice may be a way of dealing with frailty and necessity and maintaining, continuing and repairing our world, and would also need broad social agreements to make it possible for care to be a practice of all society’s members, but it seems inevitable to wonder how such a practice could be sustained without agents with certain dispositions living in certain social contexts. The tendency to disregard that subjective side of care, together with a view of care fundamentally focused on the distribution of the charge, seems to lead to political proposals too centered on its “objective” dimension, in the functioning of a systemic order, that overshadows the embodied living relationship between the one who cares and that who is being cared for.
