Carolina Montero Orphanopoulos: A Theological Approach to Vulnerability, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This book explores the symbols of vulnerability, narratives of vulnerability, and ethical norms of vulnerability in the Bible. Focusing on the great Tradition of the Church-from Stoic and Neoplatonic influence to the Moral Systems-and the approach to the Second Vatican Council, the volume helps to comprehend, deepen and clarify the concept of vulnerability. As a theory, it addresses the construction of ethics of vulnerability, its characteristics, the fundamental categories it should include. Reinforced by "An Interdisciplinary Approach to Vulnerability: Towards a Humane Ethics (Vol I)", written by the same author, this book hopes to lead the discourse of Christian ethics towards a better understanding and ultimately build towards a greater integration of the vulnerability of the human being.
