Sorry for the lateness of this reply, I just found this list. Of course, it doesn't look terribly busy at the time so who knows if this response will even be read!

I would have to say that K's concept and source of moral obligation is a far cry from 'do your own thing'. I think one of the best pictures of his thinking in this area is the idea of the knight of faith (e.g. Abraham) found in Fear and Trembling. It is here that K even goes so far as to discuss a teleological suspension of the ethical, essentially placing God as the arbiter of morality, not man.
