complicated usage of "as something as"

Once, of course, our satisfactions were provided by our parents, or the people who looked after us when we were young. And it is clearly a very significant moment, or series of moments, in a child’s life when he begins to notice that there are satisfactions outside the family.This can feel to the child like a murder of the parents, like an act of outrageous and frightening ruthlessness. Or, as the philospher Annette Baier writes (in Reflections on How We Live) in a new twist on the perennial theme, ‘Parental love, paternal or maternal, is as dangerous a central concept for ethics as is expert wisdom’; because it leads to the perversion of authority called authoritarianism, morality as moralism.

I cannot deconstruct the phrase "is as dangerous a central concept for ethics as is expert wisdom."

Usually the as ... as is used to say something like "something is as good as other thing".

How can I rewrite that phrase ? is this a correct rephrasing?

the parental love is dangerous like a central concept for ethics, and dangerous like expert wisdom.

Instead of using the "as -- as" clause, let's chop it up into separate sentences. I believe it is the multiple uses of "is", and the use of "for" in a prepositional phrase that modifies the subordinate clause, that is confusing the meaning for you.

The original:

Parental love, paternal or maternal, is as dangerous a central concept for ethics as is expert wisdom

As individual sentences:

Parental love, paternal or maternal, is, as a central concept for ethics, dangerous. Also, expert wisdom is, as a central concept for ethics, dangerous.

The above edit changes the "as" usage to individual subordinate clauses. Using "as is -- as" as a comparative clause allows the writer to reduce all that verbiage. I'm going to modify an example from the Cambridge Dictionary to illustrate this usage.

The original:

The weather this summer is as bad as last year.

Modified by replacing "is" with "are" to accommodate the plural and adding "for" as a preposition. I've included the "for" phrasing to keep the structure closer to that in the question.

The weather this summer is as bad for crops as are locusts.
