Care ethics is the moral view that comes closest to Hume's sentimentalism. Butit disagrees with Hume in the emphasis it places on good relationships ratherthan virtues. However, the empathy Hume was the first to describe can enablecare ethics to deal with moral issues it has previously ignored. For example, itcan help care ethics give a better account than rationalistic liberalism does of thejustification of civil liberties. The liberal (Rawlsian) gives inadequate answers toquestions about when restraining orders should be issued against husbands whothreaten wives, and this means that the traditional liberal idea that rights are rationallyintuited and are independent of human emotion should be replaced by acare-ethical approach that emphasizes empathy and people's welfare.
