In Concern for the Other: The Ethics of K. E. Løgstrup, eleven scholars examine the structure, intention, and originality of Løgstrup'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 Løgstrup's crucial concept of the "sovereign expressions of life"; 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. Løgstrup also firmly advanced the controversial thesis, examined by several essays in this volume, that the demand for "other-concern" central to his ethics does not depend on religious faith.
| Sobre o Livro |
A ética de K. E. Løgstrup e o conceito das "sovereign expressions of life" são o foco central, com ensaios que analisam a estrutura, a intenção e a originalidade dessa proposta. Vários autores discutem a concepção de princípios morais como substitutos ou formas inferiores de ética e situam as ideias de Løgstrup em diálogo com filósofos morais britânicos do século XX. O volume aborda ainda a relação entre o contexto luterano e a obra do autor, incluindo a tese controversa de que a exigência de "other-concern" não depende de fé religiosa.
