  abstract: In an age of self-affirmation and self-assertion, 'selfless love' often appears as a threat to the lover's personal well-being. Such a perception jars with the Biblical promise that we gain our life through losing it. It therefore calls for a theological response. In conversation with the Protestant theologian Paul Tillich and the atheistic moral philosopher and novelist Iris Murdoch, this book enquires into the anthropological grounds on which selfless love can be said to build up the lover's self.
  table of contents: 1. Selfless love contested: framing the debate -- 2. Grappling with a tension: love and the self in Søren Kierkegaard -- 3. From tension to dichotomy: selfless love after Kierkegaard -- 4. A participatory individual: the self in Paul Tillich -- 5. Eros and agape: love in Paul Tillich -- 6. 'A mechanism of attachments': the self in Iris Murdoch -- 7. Eros and attention: love in Iris Murdoch -- 8. Recovering selfless love: final evaluations.
