KAerlighed – tragik. Det var de sidste ord, Wagner skrev, for han dode. Og sa kortfattet kan hovedtemaet i hans kunst i virkeligheden bestemmes: I alle hans operaer og musikdramaer er omdrejningspunktet den lidenskabelige, altopslugende kAerlighed og dens tvetydige vAesen: Den betyder bade glAede og sorg, lyst og lidelse, troskab og svig.Fra vAerk til vAerk borer Wagner dybere og dybere: Fra HollAenderens trang til forlosning over Tannhausers desperate sogen efter en sand eros til Tristan og...

Dydsetik indtager en speciel plads pa scenen for nutidig moralfilosofi. Pa den ene side udgor dydsetikken rammen om den forste vestlige filosofiske etik, som man finder i den klassiske grAeske tAenkning. Pa den anden side har dydsetikken inden for filosofien vAeret marginaliseret i arhundreder af nytte- og pligtetikken. Men her i starten af det 21. arhundrede er dydsetikken igen tradt i karakter som en selvstAendig og levende teori.Moderne dydsetik – arven fra Aristoteles er den forste bog pa...
