This book reimagines the foundations of moral philosophy by centering on the ethical significance of second-personal experience our direct, lived responsiveness to others. Philip Strammer challenges the dominance of both naturalist and transcendental traditions, arguing that neither adequately accounts for the moral depth of the I You relation.
Drawing on Martin Buber s dialogical philosophy and enriched by post-Wittgensteinian moral thought, the book explores conscience, remorse, and saintliness as second-personal phenomena. At its heart is the concept of lovingness a wholehearted, unmediated openness to otherness as the key to understanding moral meaning and the manifestation of goodness.
Through rigorous philosophical analysis and vivid phenomenological examples, Strammer offers a compelling alternative to moral theories moving within the subject-object dichotomy. This work will appeal to scholars and advanced students in ethics, phenomenology, moral psychology, and religious thought, offering a fresh and challenging perspective on what it means to live a morally responsive life with and among others.
Philip Strammer teaches at at the University of Pardubice, Czech Republic.
