|tConsidering contemporary selves: two approaches --|tBonhoeffer and the responsibly oriented self --|tBound to the Other: Bonhoeffer and Levinas in conversation --tWeil's "attention" and the Other-oriented self --|tAdolf Eichmann as personification of irresponsibility.
This volume argues that Bonhoeffer's early work, particularly his Christocentric anthropology, grounds his later expressed commitments to responsibility and faithfulness in a ""world come of age."" Ellison suggests, in fact, that a concern for otherness permeates all of Bonhoeffer's work: a Christian self-defined by its orientation towards otherness.
