Description
John D. Caputo's insightful exploration of Kierkegaard offers a compelling account of the philosopher's ideas in our postmodern world.
Kierkegaard's thought has had a profound impact, influencing thinkers such as Martin Heidegger and Jacques Derrida. His concepts of truth as self-transforming deed and his analysis of modern bourgeois life remain relevant today.
This book provides extracts from Kierkegaard's work, including his reading of the story of Abraham and Isaac, and his theory that truth is subjectivity. A thought-provoking introduction to Kierkegaard's philosophy for those looking to understand his ideas in context.
