Concern for the Other e-bog

In Concern for the Other: The Ethics of K. E. Logstrup, eleven scholars examine the structure, intention, and originality of Logstrup's ethics as a whole. This collection of essays is a companion to Beyond the Ethical Demand, as well as to The Ethical Demand. The essays examine Logstrup's crucial concept of the "e;sovereign expressions of life"e;; his view of moral principles as a substitute for, or inferior form of, ethics; his relationships to other philosophers, including the twentieth-century British moral philosophers; and the role of his Lutheran background in his ethics. Logstrup also firmly advanced the controversial thesis, examined by several essays in this volume, that the demand for "e;other-concern"e; central to his ethics does not depend on religious faith.
