Exploring the religious category of dying to self, this book aims
to resolve contemporary issues that relate to detachment. Beginning
with an examination of humility in its general notion and as a
religious virtue that detachment presupposes, Kellenberger draws on
a range of ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary sources that
address the main characteristics of detachment, including the work
of Meister Eckhart, St. Teresa, and Simone Weil, as well as writers
as varied as Gregory of Nyssa, Rabi'a al-Adawiyya, SAren
Kierkegaard, Andrew Newberg, John Hick and Keiji Nishitani.
Kellenberger explores the key issues that arise for detachment,
including the place of the individual's will in detachment, the
relationship of detachment to desire, to attachment to persons, and
to self-love and self-respect, and issues of contemporary secular
detachment such as inducement via chemicals. This book heeds the
relevance of the religious virtue of detachment for those living in
the twenty-first century.
