Abstract

This Dossier collects seven essays which examine the possibilities and the limitations of the precept “Love your neighbor as yourself”, a precept that is central to both Hebrew and Christian doctrines and teachings, and that also transcends religiosity as it is crucial in both secular and even “postsecular” thinking and praxes.
