Contents:
Summary: 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.
Considering contemporary selves: two approaches -- Bonhoeffer and the responsibly oriented self -- Bound to the Other: Bonhoeffer and Levinas in conversation -- Weil's "attention" and the Other-oriented self -- Adolf Eichmann as personification of irresponsibility.
