Abstract

The paper examines the historical context of ethics of care in early Christian discourse. The historical context of the ethics of care enables us to comprehend the ways in which ethics of care was employed and disseminated as part of political ideology and public discourse, significantly influencing the social relations of the rapidly changing Roman world between the fourth and seventh centuries. The Byzantine Empire is a prime example of a political entity in which philanthropy was the driving force behind imperial politics and social relations. Emperor Justinian?s laws, which proclaimed social justice and protection for those in need, serve as a case study for an ethics of care. Also, the ethics of care is reconfigured within the context of Byzantine theology as a theology of care, in which the primary virtue of a true Christian is his fervent love for the community (agape). The ethics of care is then examined from the perspective of gender and the newly established cult of the Theotokos, which degendered the concept of maternal thinking and maternal care by making it a universal experience and the new moral code for all Christians.
晚期古代基督教话语中的关怀伦理:(跨)关怀的社会、政治和哲学价值的历史视角
本文考察了早期基督教话语中关怀伦理的历史背景。护理伦理的历史背景使我们能够理解护理伦理作为政治意识形态和公共话语的一部分被采用和传播的方式,它对四世纪到七世纪之间迅速变化的罗马世界的社会关系产生了重大影响。拜占庭帝国是一个典型的政治实体,其中慈善事业是帝国政治和社会关系背后的驱动力。皇帝查士丁尼吗?美国的法律宣称社会正义和保护有需要的人,这是一个关于关怀伦理的案例研究。此外,关怀伦理在拜占庭神学的背景下被重新配置为关怀神学,其中真正基督徒的主要美德是他对社区(agape)的热烈爱。然后,从性别和新建立的Theotokos崇拜的角度来审视护理伦理,这使母性思维和母性护理的概念变性,使其成为所有基督徒的普遍经验和新的道德准则。
