Prolegomena zum Verständnis der Verletzbarkeit Anderer

From the book Moralische Dimensionen der Verletzlichkeit des Menschen

  • Burkhard Liebsch

Abstract

Prolegomena on the understanding of other’s vulnerability. This essay proceeds from the fact that human beings are „completely“ vulnerable and that we cannot form an „adequate“ idea of this. In a second move, however, a positive meaning is attributed to vulnerabilty in consideration of the fact that we often discover the vulnerability of others only by way of hurting them.
