Abstract
In exploring the writings of Kant, Kierkegaard and Simone Weil on the relationship of love, inequality and oppression, I have investigated different and challenging Christian traditions of thought and feeling. I have set these against an implicit reference to tensions and contradictions within Kant’s moral writings since they have a centrality to the ways we are brought up to think and feel about morality within a liberal moral culture.
