Carol Gilligan (; born November 28, 1936) is an American philosopher and psychologist, known for her work in feminist theory, ethical community, and ethical relationships. Gilligan is a professor of humanities and applied psychology at New York University and was a visiting professor at the Centre for Gender Studies and Jesus College at the University of Cambridge until 2009. Her influential book, In a Different Voice (1982), theorized that moral decisions are guided by different interior voices and perspectives, a view contrary to Lawrence Kohlberg's stages of moral development. In 1996, Time magazine listed her among America's 25 most influential people. She is the originator of the ethics of care and has been called "perhaps the world’s leading authority" on active listening.
