In Works of Love, Kierkegaard argues that the friendships and romantic relationships which we typically treasure most are often merely disguised forms of 'selfish' self-love. Yet in this nuanced and subtle account, John Lippitt shows that Kierkegaard also provides valuable resources for responding to the challenge of how we can love ourselves, as well as others. Lippitt relates what it means to love oneself properly to such topics as love of God and neighbour, friendship, romantic love, self-denial and self-sacrifice, trust, hope and forgiveness. The book engages in detail with Works of Love, related Kierkegaard texts and important recent studies, and also addresses a wealth of wider literature in ethics, moral psychology and philosophy of religion. 517 3 $aKierkegaard & the Problem of Self-Love 606 $aSelf-acceptance 606 $aLove 606 $aSelf 615 0$aSelf-acceptance. 615 0$aLove. 615 0$aSelf. 676 $a198/.9 700 $aLippitt$b John$01617029 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809756403321 996 $aKierkegaard and the problem of self-love$93948049 997 $aUNINA
