Ideals of self-actualization pervade contemporary culture. Such ideals rightly recognize the dignity and inviolability of the human. However, they fail to specify criteria by which to judge what harms the self, and tend to ignore the religious character of the human and the moral life. Moreover, the traditional Christian accounts of self love which might resolve the problem tend to identify self love, be it pernicious or positive, with love for neighbor. In doing so, such accounts collapse the nature of self love and the criteriology of self love. That is, self love becomes coordinate to or coextensive with neighbor love. This collapse often results in accounts of self love which have been used to oppress women and minorities. Clearly, what is needed in ethics is an account of right self love which is mindful of critiques of traditional accounts, yet itself critiques amorphous, uncritical ideals of self realization. This dissertation argues that right self love designates a self-determining response to God actualized in but not exhausted by neighbor love. In doing so, it teases apart the nature and criteriology of self love. Methodologically, the dissertation employs the theological anthropologies of Karl Rahner and Paul Tillich to explore self love both as a moral problem and a moral principle. It develops this account of self love with respect to four problems in ethics: moral being, the moral good, moral development, and the relation between religion and morality. Using these problems, the dissertation develops a hermeneutical account of self love. Right self love designates a particular form of self-determination in response to God, namely, an ongoing self-interpretive practice in which our being and our thinking about it cohere in moral identity.
