Philosophy of Devotion

The Longing for Invulnerable Ideals

Beschreibung

Paul Katsafanas examines the role of devotion as an ethical stance in human life. Devotion typically involves treating certain values, goals, or relationships as inviolable, incontestable, and invulnerable to argument. Katsafanas argues that devotion can be reasonable, and suggests how it can avoid deforming into fanaticism.
