Take two examples: (1) "Although it is possible that rationality may not lead to certainty, most of us, I think, would admit that human beings have evolved conceptions of cognitive virtues that have been of help in creating civilizations … We would not be better off without impartiality, consistency and reasonableness, even though we may all live them imperfectly … We can educate children to identify and agree upon a procedural conception of what it is to reason well."

(2) "A dialogue that tries to conform to logic, [the community of inquiry] moves forward indirectly like a boat tacking into the wind, but in the process its progress comes to resemble that of thinking itself. Consequently, when this process is internalized or introjected by the participants, they come to think in moves that resemble its procedures. They come to think as the process thinks."

Indeed, Gilligan's work has prompted a re-evaluation of Kohlberg, in which many theorists have found elements of a caring ethic in Kohlberg's paradigm, and/or have offered reconstructions of that paradigm that incorporate such elements. See, e.g.
  • Gilligan . 1982, 1993 . In a Different Voice: psychological theory and women's development , xiv Cambridge : Massachusetts: Harvard University Press . "The most basic questions about human living--how to live and what to do--are fundamentally questions about human relations, because people's lives are deeply connected, psychologically, economically, and politically. [One should] Refram[e] these questions to make these relational realities explicit--how to live in relationship with others, what to do in the face of conflict …"
  • 1990 . The Faces of Injustice , 2 New Haven : Yale University Press . In fact, Judith N. Shklar notes that notions of justice are largely shaped by willingness to care: "The difference between misfortune and injustice frequently involves our willingness and our capacity to act or not to act on behalf of the victims, to blame or absolve, to help, mitigate, and compensate, or to just turn away.". "The line of separation between injustice and misfortune is a political choice, not a simple rule that can be taken as a given." Ibid., p. 5

Gilligan's finding of gender preferences for divergent moral paradigms is merely a finding of correlation, and does not include a theory of causation. Moreover, this finding remains controversial, as new studies alternately confirm it (see, e.g.

Compare John Dewey: "All friendship and intimate affection are … the result of information about another person … as it becomes an integral part of sympathy through the imagination.
