Description

With the rise of modernity, traditional moral concepts such as 'selfless love' have come to appear oppressive or utopistic. Selfless Love and Human Flourishing in Paul Tillich and Iris Murdoch puts such a judgment to the test and reconsiders the grounds on which selfless love may in fact be crucial to human flourishing. It argues that Paul Tillich and Iris Murdoch sought to sustain the link between selfless love and human flourishing by capitalising onthe very deconstruction of the self that contributed to the demise of selfless love.
