He's a proponent of care ethics, like Nel Noddings (care ethics - I was reading about it recently and have a lot of issues with it...how does care ethics not lead to nepotism, which damages institutions and actually cause harm so is less caring towards all of society? Can't it be used to justify racist or other discriminatory policies - I care for a race more, therefore I treat them better? And how does care ethics not become deontological/duty ethics (considering it considers itself non-deontological? A duty to those you have a stable, caring personal relationship with. And how does it account for empathy fatigue or similar reductions in empathy - does the lack of caring feeling become a valid moral reason to not give care?)
