About this video

Runtime: 37 mins

Robert Stern looks at Løgstrup's ideas which culminate in this book 'The Ethical Demand,' focusing on his concept of the ethical demand. Løgstrup's philosophy emphasizes the interdependence of human beings and the ethical responsibility to care for others. He argues that trust and vulnerability are central to human relationships and that the ethical demand requires unselfish love and care. The demand is silent, radical, one-sided, and unfulfillable, meaning it cannot be met as a mere duty but must be spontaneous. Løgstrup's work challenges traditional ethical theories and offers a unique perspective on ethics and morality.
