Critical Challenge

This chapter considers Løgstrup’s relation to Martin Luther. It begins by outlining Luther’s account of human wickedness, and the crucial role this plays in his distinctive theology and ethics. It then shows how Løgstrup takes over this account, but also departs from Luther in certain fundamental respects (§11.1). It then considers how K. Olesen Larsen, building on Kierkegaard, exploits this departure to mount a critical challenge to Løgstrup (§11.2). It is then shown how Løgstrup might respond to Olesen Larsen, but in a way that reveals how his ethics is indeed a step beyond Luther, but arguably a defensible one (§11.3). Finally, the chapter considers how Løgstrup deals with an issue that is central to his Lutheran approach, namely the conception of moral agency that is possible on this model, making a critical comparison with Iris Murdoch (§11.4).

Book Of Revelation

Abstract Five hundred years ago, in troubling theological and spiritual developments of the Roman Church, Martin Luther critically approached its teaching about the soteriological value of works. The result of his inquiry was the famous sola fide doctrine. However he did not ignore the issue of works and tried repeatedly to explain their relationship with the faith. But, unfortunately, he did not consider the important contributions of the Epistle of St James and of St John’s Revelation. In the introduction to the Apocalypse he expressed the possibility that he was missing “more than one thing in this book”. His intuition was right. The book of Revelation conceals many mysteries, but first of all that of salvation. It speaks a lot about Christ and His salvific work, but also about the works of the faithful. In fact, the mystery of salvation is closely related to works. They play a crucial role in the preparation of the wedding of the Lamb with His bride. The accomplishment of God’s plan depends on them. The judgment will be done according to the works. Therefore, a lot of onceignored things stand before us. Have they the potential to bring more light on the much-disputed relationship between faith and works?

Iris Murdoch

It is quite clear that love plays an absolutely crucial role in Iris Murdoch’s philosophy. This chapter argues that Murdoch, in contrast to much contemporary philosophy, does not so much develop a theory of love that explains why and in what sense love is good or bad for philosophy. Murdoch’s problem is not the question whether one ought to bring the concept of love into other regions of thought, but to make clear that love is always already there. Murdoch is not asking us to broaden our concept of morality (or knowledge, or art) in such a way that love can be included. Murdoch should rather be seen as inquiring into, and questioning, an exclusion. She is asking us to pay attention to love and to think about why it has been blotted out, and by which means.

The Subject

The subject of this article is moral agency in nursing, studied by the use of an applied philosophical method. It draws upon nurses’ accounts of how they see intrinsic value in their work and believe that they make a difference to patients in terms that leave their patients feeling better. The analysis is based on the philosophy of Iris Murdoch to reveal how nurses’ accounts demonstrated that they hold a view of themselves and their professional practice that is intrinsically linked to, and dependent upon, their capacity to see good in the work they do.

Zusammenfassung. Im Rahmen eines studentischen Forschungsprojektes an der Martin-Luther-Universität Halle/Wittenberg stellen sich die Autorinnen die Frage, wie sich die Bewerberauswahl an Pflegeschulen vor dem Hintergrund des Mangels geeigneter Bewerber/innen gestaltet und welche Auswirkungen dies auf die Ausbildung hat. Die Ergebnisse der Experteninterviews zeigten, dass die Bewerberlage für die Ausbildung der Gesundheits- und Krankenpfleger/innen vor allem in qualitativer Hinsicht ernst erscheint.

Interprofessionelle Kooperation

Zusammenfassung. Interprofessionelle Kooperation ist ein wesentlicher Baustein der künftigen professionellen Versorgung von Pflegebedürftigen und Patienten. In der beruflichen Praxis zeigt sich, dass die Gesundheitsberufe wenig voneinander wissen. Anhand der Entwicklung eines Konzeptes der Medizinischen Fakultät der Martin-Luther-Universität Halle / Saale zur Schaffung und Umsetzung interprofessioneller Ausbildungssequenzen soll der Frage nach der Bereitschaft zum interprofessionellen Lernen in den einzelnen Gesundheitsfachberufen nachgegangen werden.
