Abstract

The question as to the freedom of choice for man and woman with regard to the compatibility of career and family is central to Christiane Eckstein’s analysis of family politics. She bases the concept of freedom of choice on principles of Christian social ethics, which sets her study apart from other similar studies. Utilizing a social-ethical method – “seeing – judging – acting” – Eckstein develops options for developing a more comprehensive freedom of choice by critiquing current family-political methods.
