Concern for the Other

In <i>Concern for the Other: The Ethics of K. E. Løgstrup</i> eleven scholars examine the structure intention and originality of Løgstrup's ethics as a whole. This collection of essays is a companion to <i>Beyond the Ethical Demand</i> as well as to <i>The Ethical Demand</i>. 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.
