Care is one of the patterns of thought linked to feminism, which can be defined as a sex and biological, social and political life programme built with regard to sex (in the first two cases) and gender (in the second two cases). This line of thought embodies the logic of relativising patriarchal values by considering the male as a generic and thus as a universal 'false' and by considering the life of couple from a criticism of the domination registers of one another. For life in society, the thoughts vary between the content to be given to parity and the content to be given to complementarity. To speak of care requires a definition of what is at stake and it is important to highlight the multitude of concepts associated with it, as the whole is a real fresh one, the cardinal points of which could be as follows: — Is it rather representative of a process, rather of a state, or of both aspects at the same time? With care, there is a question of tension.- Is it a rather representative concept of emotion (that is to say, a disorder, temporary agitation, a highly emotional emotional reaction caused by a stimulus coming from the environment, a concept linked to the individual and his consciousness), an impression (that is to say, something from an outside that marks with regard to appearances), a feeling (more or less clear knowledge of an immediate fact, an opinion or even a lasting emotional state and which, unlike printing depends on a collective dimension), or still the three aspects at the same time? It should be emphasised that these three concepts belong to the field of affective (and not that of the cause) and the fact that they are accessed through sensations through cognitivo-sensualist prism which underlies them. In very general terms, care can be defined as everything that revolves around the concept of attention (mobilisation, reception, associated activities). This is a non-utilitarianism form of concern and concern for the other. ; Master ; Care is one of the patterns of thought linked to feminism, ...

Effective spiritual care must truly interact with its recipients in order to discern need and to engage in a mutual process of exploration. Spiritual carers should be a resource in the individual's search for meaning and purpose, and a support through the sometimes painful re-examination of beliefs in the face of some life crisis. To be effective the carer must have personally engaged with the existential issues which arise. Support for spiritual caregivers is essential in order to increase self knowledge, address sources of anxiety, and work through the difficult feelings which engagement with another person at this level will arouse.

In the COVID-19 pandemic the (nuclear) family, and the private household that is assumed to contain it, receives an enormous revaluation across different welfare regimes. At the same time the notion of a nationally formed welfare state that protects "its" vulnerable national population is re-enacted as a central care entity. From an intersectional and transnational perspective, the article coins the concepts of "care familialism" and "care nationalism" to analyse both the conditions of inequality and the exclusionary effects of these intertwined formations of "home" in the wake of the pandemic state crisis management in Germany. The article presents central dimensions of German care familialism and care nationalism to demonstrate how - and which - hierarchies of care/carelessness are systematically established and deepened within the current state of pandemic policies - from the neglect of those who cannot retreat to a "safe home" to the necropolitics of tightened border regimes and carelessness towards those who are recruited to provide care as live-in or illegalised domestic workers. Against an often-unquestioned methodological familialism and methodological nationalism in current care debates, a research agenda is proposed, which methodologically and conceptually decentres the family and the nation as the dominant formations through which care relations are institutionalised.
