Description

Knud Ejler Løgstrup's The Ethical Demand is a foundational work in modern moral philosophy. First published in 1956, it has been widely reinterpreted and remains a pivotal text in the field. This English translation makes Løgstrup's complete work available for the first time. Løgstrup's project challenges traditional approaches to ethics, rejecting utilitarianism, Kantianism, Christian existentialism, and subjectivism. Instead, he presents an alternative understanding of interpersonal life, one that assumes a fundamental trust in human interaction. The ethical demand, as Løgstrup defines it, cannot be derived from rules or principles. This book offers a nuanced exploration of human morality, one that seeks to transcend the boundaries between Christian and secular ethics. With its unique perspective on the nature of moral obligation, The Ethical Demand is a thought-provoking work that continues to resonate with scholars and philosophers today.
