Kierkegaard on Self, Ethics, and Religion

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Kierkegaard's thought is more relevant than ever to contemporary debates about the self, truth, ethics, and religion. This study explains how to make sense of controversial ideas in Kierkegaard's work, such as wholeheartedness, subjective truth, 'the leap' into faith and 'the teleological suspension of the ethical'.
