(1 other version)Cracking the mirror: on Kierkegaard’s concerns about friendship.John Lippitt - 2007 - International Journal for Philosophy of Religion 61 (3):131-150.details In this article, I offer a brief account of some of Kierkegaard's key concerns about friendship: its "preferential" nature and its being a form of self-love. Kierkegaard's endorsement of the ancient idea of the friend as "second self" involves a common but misguided assumption: that friendship depends largely upon likeness between friends.

Living Dogma and Marriage.Michael T. McFall - 2011 - Philosophia 39 (4):657-672.details The decision to get married, as well as choosing whom to marry, is of the utmost importance to most people. This decision consists of many amoral considerations, but an ethical relationship arises when a promise is made, especially a vow that binds for a lifetime and affects oneself, one’s spouse, one’s children, and society. This essay provides an account of ideal romantic marriage, arguing that John Stuart Mill’s On Liberty provides an excellent foundation for constructing such an account. Neither dead (...)
