Kierkegaard and the New Nationalism

A Contemporary Reinterpretation of the Attack upon Christendom

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Kierkegaard and the New Nationalism argues for the relevance of Kierkegaard's "attack upon Christendom" within our current situation of resurgent nationalism. Kierkegaard's ascetic voice calls his readers not simply to critique nationalism, but to renounce it, thereby striking at nationalism's self-assertive core.
