Abstract

This essay examines the concept of the neighbor in Soren Kierkegaard’s “Works of Love”. It examines Kierkegaard’s understanding of the teaching of Christ: “You must love your neighbour as yourself”, as a commandment, and how it is connected to the love of God. It then relates this to the writings of Levinas on “the other”.
