The ethics of care in the late antique Christian discourse: (trans)historical perspectives on the social, political and philosophical value of care

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.
