| Riepilogo: | Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the twentieth century German theologian, wrote as he lived, in a manner that challenged the status quo, and his life was guided by one of his key ethical arguments: "the penultimate must be preserved for the sake of the ultimate." In order to understand this ethic adequately, the nature and practicality of the two key words "ultimate" and "penultimate" must be investigated. A methodology for the application of Bonhoefferian ethics can be developed by utilizing the twentieth century American psychologist Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs. In return, Maslow's hierarchy can be informed by Bonhoeffer's theology. |
