Beskrivelse
»The Ethics of Love reads the entire output of James Joyce, from Chamber Music to Finnegans Wake, in the perspective of the Irish author’s wish to celebrate secular love as the all-pervasive power that can be experienced in a ´post-metaphysical´ world. Boysen grounds his outstanding essay on the table-turning thesis that, far from abolishing the power of love, the ´death of God´, this essential staple of twentieth-century continental philosophy, makes mutual love all the more necessary to us; it warrants, in fact, the universality of our encounter with the Other.«
