Description
Recent years have seen a resurgence in interest in Kierkegaard's thought, particularly in theology, social theory, and literary criticism. This collection of essays by leading scholars offers a fresh perspective on Kierkegaard's conception of moral selfhood.
The contributors address criticisms of Kierkegaard's work, including those made by philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre, and demonstrate how some of Kierkegaard's insights into tradition, virtuous character, and the human good align with MacIntyre's ideas. This collection provides a valuable contribution to ongoing discussions about Kierkegaard's legacy.
With 363 pages, this paperback edition offers an in-depth exploration of Kierkegaard's philosophy and its relevance today.
