A Care Index for a World in Balance: How to measure the immeasurable things in life?
„The Inclusivity Index for the Global Civic Society” strives for a world in balance and human dignity that integrates the Global South and wants to avoid the current “asymmetries in power” (see Working Paper). Therefore, in my first approach to solve this task, I was addressing the problem of “cultural bias” and the things in life that are difficult to measure, especially the aspect of “Care Ethics” (Carol Gilligan) and “Mechanical and Organic Solidarity” (Emile Durkheim, Ferdinand Tönnies) that is not integrated in the indexes yet. In this second approach, I want to deepen the understanding why those two aspects Gilligan and Durkheim addressed and could be summarized, as “interpersonal emotional care” are essential for balanced societies and intercultural peace.
