Deleuze, Kierkegaard and the Ethics of Selfhood

Mehr zum Buch

Exploring the intersection of ethics and selfhood, Andrew Jampol-Petzinger delves into Gilles Deleuze's interpretation of Søren Kierkegaard. He challenges traditional theories of moral judgment based on fixed identities, advocating for a dynamic understanding of becoming one's true self. By emphasizing growth and self-overcoming, the author presents a conception of normativity that balances personal development with the necessity of values for a fulfilling life. Jampol-Petzinger's insights contribute to a deeper understanding of radical ethics in contemporary philosophy.
