| Summary: | Despite traditionally being characterised as a melancholy thinker with a propensity to dwell on existential anxiety, sin and despair, scholarly interest in the place of love in Søren Kierkegaard's ethical thought is currently gaining significant traction. In particular, Kierkegaard's Works of Love (1847) has increasingly come under the academic spotlight as a text with potentially rich and previously underappreciated insights for Christian ethics. This article aims to contribute to this ongoing illumination, by highlighting the moral psychology and theological anthropology of Kierkegaard's Christian lover in discourses II-V of Works of Love's second series. In doing this, I aim to put forward an overarching ethical framework which can be seen to structure these moral deliberations. |
