There is much less written about Works of Love in English than one might expect. Perhaps this is because Works of Love, as a text, appears to occupy a no-man's land between the pseudonymous and the edifying works. On the one hand, it seems to be completely religious in character; on the other hand, it is not so much edifiying as it is challenging, even confrontational, in its approach; and yet, for all its apparent directness, Works of Love stirs up a great deal of debate concerning what it is really about. If it is a book on ethics, then why does it give the impression of being acosmic? If it is a book for religious edification and, hence, the deepening of inwardness, then why the apparent emphasis on action? The various books and articles found below each take their turn at trying to solve just such paradoxes. According to Fendt (see book review below), as of 1990 there was no book-length study of Works of Love in English and only one in Danish Paul Müller's Kristendom, etik og maieutik i S0ren Kierkegaards "Kjerligheds Gjerninger." As of 1998, there were two books on Works of Love in English: Fendt's and an English translation of the Müller book (also reviewed below). As for the dearth of articles, Walsh (1988, reviewed below) notes that this "misfortune is due in

C. S. Peirce posits that the self is known only through negation—by the knower finding out that he or she is wrong. Even more importantly he considers a man to be nothing more than a sign. This is existentially inadequate. In this chapter, Stacey Ake shows the shortcomings of Peirce’s Firstness, Secondness, and Thirdness in creating human identity by utilizing and developing Walker Percy’s notion of Fourthness in order to show that there is a positive way to create identity and, more importantly, community.

Ethics education is currently of major concern in higher education and in engineering in particular. There are many reasons for this, such as the seeming increase of cheating and plagiarism among students. Simultaneously, the level of trust in public and private institutions, in terms of the honesty and integrity of those in leadership, is dwindling. For engineers, whose occupation allows them potential for positive or negative societal impacts, it is critical that their decisions involve sound ethical judgment. Despite this obvious need, the amount of time given to ethics in an engineering curriculum is minimal. With all the knowledge and skills needed in engineering, it seems as if there is neither time nor space to teach ethics. Consequently, the results are predictable. During a recent meeting of engineering students, the students were asked what kinds of ethical questions they encountered at work or in their studies. The majority indicated they had never encountered any ethical...

Forse mai come in questo tempo la dignità dell'uomo, qual è stata riconosciuta dalla cultura tradizionale, è messa a dura prova dalle sfide, che giungono da tante parti del sapere, della politica e della società. Riflettere, dunque, su temi come l'identità, la libertà e la responsabilità, appare un compito ineludibile.
