Protestant C hristian ethicist T imothy J ackson and secular feminist philosopher E va F eder K ittay each explore the relationship between love or care and justice through the lens of human dependency. J ackson sharply prioritizes agape over justice, whereas K ittay articulates a more complex and integrated understanding of the relationship of care and distributive justice. An account of C hristian love and its relation to justice must account for the gratuity, mutuality, and reciprocity that pervade human existence. Such an account must integrate provision for another's basic needs, a feature of agape, with a distributive justice that fairly allocates the material prerequisites of care and the burden of caring labor. K ittay's treatment of care and justice is more adequate to the realities of human embodiment and the social organization of care than J ackson's, but neither offers a fully adequate ground for the moral personhood of all human beings, including deeply dependent persons
