Abstract

This paper examines the contribution of Carol Gilligan’s philosophy of psychology to moral philosophy. It argues that Gilligan provides a suitable philosophy of psychology in the sense demanded by Elisabeth Anscombe – one that allows moral philosophy to acknowledge the social and psychological origins of its ideals. Given the interpretative challenges posed by Gilligan’s work – stemming from the diversity and complexity of her themes and her writing style – this article aims to clarify her philosophical contribution. After exploring the influence of modern moral philosophy on contemporary psychological theories, its entanglement with patriarchy, and the injustices it perpetuates, Gilligan’s approach is presented as both an alternative framework and a form of resistance. Her philosophy of psychology defends relational justice and responsible care as foundational principles, aligning with Anscombe’s call for a more psychologically grounded moral philosophy.
