RELG 242 - Love and Its Critics


Semester Offered: First Semester
Full Course
Credits: 4 Credits
Attribute: 4HU

Drawing from theological and philosophical thinkers, this course examines the ethics of love in Western religious traditions with a specific emphasis upon the advocates and critics of self-sacrifice. Readings are drawn from both pre-modern (Aquinas, and Luther) and modern (Barth and Rosenzweig) defenders of love, along with modern critics (Friedrich Nietzsche, naturalistic interpreters, and Freud among others). Finally, the course concludes with response to the love critics (Max Scheler, Simone Weil, Benedict XVI).
