Carolina Montero Orphanopoulos: A Theological Approach to Vulnerability, Gebunden

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.
