The problem of whether we should love ourselves - and if so how -
has particular resonance within Christian thought and is an
important yet underinvestigated theme in the writings of Soren
Kierkegaard. 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.
