While ‘later life sees care emerge in ways that are new’ (Dawson and Goodwin‐Hawkins), this article argues that there is a general form to ethical care that pertains to all individual citizens in a liberal or democratic society. The form is one of balance: between engagement and inclusion on the one hand, and a preservation of autonomy and personal sovereignty on the other; between action and inaction. ‘Cosmopolitan politesse’ is introduced as a term to describe a social ethics whereby Anyone is given the recognition—the right and the space—to fulfil an innate capacity for creating their own world‐views and pursuing their own life‐projects. Under this rubric ‘care’ is imagined as a particular kind of social framework or environment that endeavours to give an appropriate proportionality to autonomy and inclusion. A ‘caring sociality’ includes ensuring individual members of a ‘personal preserve’ of embodied consciousness over which each has sovereignty. The article considers the elements ‘inclusion’ and ‘autonomy’ in turn, and then the nature of their ethical balance such that Anyone may remain ‘at home’ in the world.

护理的作为与不作为：护理和个人保护

虽然“以后的生活会看到护理以新的方式出现”（Dawson和Goodwin-Hawkins），但本文认为，道德护理存在一种普遍形式，涉及自由主义或民主社会中的所有公民。这种形式是一种平衡：一方面是参与和包容之间的平衡，另一方面是自治和个人主权的保留；在行动与无为之间。“大都会政治人士”一词的引入是用来描述一种社会道德规范，通过该术语，任何人都将获得承认-权利和空间-具备创造天生的创造自己的世界观和追求自己的人生计划的能力。在这种专栏下，“关怀”被想象为一种特定的社会框架或环境，旨在为自治和包容性提供适当的比例。“关爱社会”包括确保体现个人意识的“个人保护区”的每个成员都拥有主权。文章依次考虑了“包容”和“自治”元素，然后考虑了其伦理平衡的本质，以便任何人都可以留在世界上“在家”。
