Abstract
CRESPO, MARIANO. RUDOLF OTTO'S CONTRIBUTION TO ETHICS. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2019, vol.68, n.170, pp.75-97. ISSN 0120-0062. https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v68n170.62460.
R. Otto (1869-1937) is known for his work in the field of philosophy of religion. The article addresses his main contributions, with special attention to the Aufsatze zur Ethik and its connection to The Idea of the Holy. Against the idea that Otto is unable to develop an ethics without giving up some fundamental positions of The Idea of the Holy, the article argues in favor of their agreement with his ethical writings, on the basis of the thesis that not everything we know is a form of knowledge (wissen), in the sense of intellectual representation.
Keywords : R. Otto; ethics; religion; knowledge.
