书名: Kierkegaard's Ethic of Love: Divine Commands and Moral Obligations
作者: C. Stephen Evans (Author)
出版社: Oxford University Press, USA (October 18, 2004)
语言: English
ISBN-10: 0199272174
ISBN-13: 978-0199272174
Book Description
C. Stephen Evans explains and defends Kierkegaard's account of moral obligations as rooted in God's commands, the fundamental command being `You shall love your neighbour as yourself'. The work will be of interest not only to those interested in Kierkegaard, but also to those interested in the relation between ethics and religion, especially questions about whether morality can or must have a religious foundation. As well as providing a comprehensive reading of Kierkegaard as an ethical thinker, Evans puts him into conversation with contemporary moral theorists. Kierkegaard's divine command theory is shown to be an account that safeguards human flourishing, as well as protecting the proper relations between religion and state in a pluralistic society.
Review
`Recently,...Oxford University Press has published a handful of of remarkable books about Kierkegaard: by M. Jamie Ferreira, David R. Law, Stephen Mulhall, Murray Rae and Anthony Rudd, to which this makes a fine addition.' --New Blackfriars
