Oxford University Press Kierkegaard'S Ethic Of Love : Divine Commands And Moral Obligations by C. Stephen Evans
C. Stephen Evans explains and defends Kierkegaards account of moral obligations as rooted in Gods 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 ofKierkegaard as an ethical thinker, Evans puts him into conversation with contemporary moral theorists.
