Reviving the Love for Economic Justice

In this book, Roshnee Ossewaarde-Lowtoo explores ways to reverse the cultural preference for utility and wealth over the democratic ideals of justice and civic friendship. She argues that economies and markets can be legitimately subordinated to the ideal of fellowship because human experience reveals love as the telos of human existence.

Roshnee Ossewaarde-Lowtoo teaches in the Tilburg School of Catholic Theology and the Department of Systematic Theology and Philosophy at Tilburg University.
