Opis

How much does ethics demand of us and on what authority? How does this relate to prudence, law, and social convention? Such questions lie at the heart of K. E. Løgstrup's work. Stern situates his distinctive position in relation to Kant, Kierkegaard, Levinas, Darwall and Luther, offering a full account of his key text, The Ethical Demand (1956).

Recenzje

terrific ... The book gracefully introduces Løgstrup to the uninitiated reader, but more impressively, it builds a critical apparatus around his work of remarkable depth .... It is truly a rich book. I naturally recommend it to those interested in the historical moment Løgstrup inhabited, but I recommend it even more strongly to those interested in original approaches to the foundations of ethics. Kenneth Walden, European Journal of Philosophy
