(2015)
- Abstract
- Who is my other? What do I encounter when I encounter my other? And what responses and responsibilities does the encounter with my other evoke?

Blurring disciplinary boundaries, more than thirty of Jeanrond’s colleagues and companions from ten countries track the dynamics of difference driven by the encounter with the self as other, the other as other, and God as the radical other. Tying in with Jeanrond’s explorations of the many faces and facets of the other, this Festschrift ultimately aims to advocate openness to the other as a necessity for both religion and reflections on religion.
