Learning to See in the Dark: The Roots of Ethical Resistance
April 24, 2009
In this complex narrative documenting paradigm shifts in developmental thinking, Carol Gilligan
defines the very capacity of our human nature—to have a voice and to communicate—as the grounds
of both love and democratic citizenship. Dissecting the roots of healthy ethical resistance,
Gilligan weaves together developmental psychology, neurobiology, ethics, and politics in
ethical and moral decisions.

"If you separate reason from emotion, if you separate voice from relationship, and mind from body,
we lose our grounding in the human world, then it is possible to act without knowing, or
even without registering the consequences or the impact of our actions."
-Carol Gilligan
