Summary/Abstract: K.E. Løgstrup is a Danish philosopher and theologian who has tremendous influence on moral thinking in welfare professions in Northern Europe. He developed a conceptual framework for ontological ethics which challenges traditional ethical theories like utilitarianism, Kantianism and virtue theory. Although Løgstrup developed his theory within a protestant cultural tradition, my thesis is that his thinking shares similarities withthe orthodox moral theology which is expressed in the work of the Romanian orthodox scholar G. Popa.
