The concept of “care” is one of the most fundamental concepts in modern civilization: we are engaged in medical care, child care, protect monuments and museums, worry about the state of the environment and, most importantly, take care of ourselves.

In his new book, renowned philosopher Boris Groys reconstructs a long tradition of caring research involving many thinkers, including Plato, Hegel, Richard Wagner, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Bathai, Kojève and Alexander Bogdanov. At the center of this book is an important question: what is the relationship between autonomy and dependence, between self-care and external, institutional care?
