Description
Summary:The main objective of this article is to show that, from an analysis of Works of Love, it is clear that in this work Kierkegaard is not only aware of the moral criticism of the selfish motivations of our actions, as pointed out by La Rochefoucauld in Reflections: or Sentences and Moral Maxims, but also elaborates what can be read as a response to this problem. Initially, we will address La Rochefoucauld's criticism of a certain profile of moral actions. Next, we will analyze how Kierkegaard thinks about love from its practical action. This practice of love will be enriched with an analysis of the concepts of duty to love and the neighbor. The relationship between these concepts provides parameters for thinking about ethical action that goes beyond selfishness. Finally, we will point out how Kierkegaard provides important elements for an answer to the profound questions analyzed by La Rochefoucauld.
