Right self-love, double commandment of love, Kierkegaard, synthesis of love, personal historyResumé
The article considers the notion of the right self-love in Kierkegaard’s Works of Love. Kierkegaard criticizes the intuitive love as selfish. He argues that it conflicts with the love required in the double commandment of love. The article discusses the right self-love as part of Kierkegaard’s conception of a synthesis of love, which is to love God and the neighbor. Today, it is argued, we have an increased need for a right self-love, which must be adequately related to the love of the neighbor. With a hermeneutic approach, the intuitive love can meet the demand of the double commandment of love. The right self-love can be developed in the individual person’s life history. If right self-love is balanced, it implies the synthesis of love, which involves the love for God, the love for neighbors and for oneself.
