Description

Kierkegaard and Socrates: A Study in Philosophy and Faith by Jacob Howland explores the complex relationship between philosophy and faith in Kierkegaard's Philosophical Fragments. This book examines the role of Socrates in this body of writings, shedding new light on their significance for Kierkegaard's thought. Howland argues that in the Fragments, philosophy and faith are intertwined passions, with Socratic philosophical eros offering a path to faith. The author also analyzes other key works, including Johannes Climacus and Plato's Apology, to illuminate the Socratic character of the pseudonymous author and the role of "the god" in Socrates' pursuit of wisdom. By examining these themes, Howland provides a nuanced understanding of Kierkegaard's thought and its connections to ancient Greek philosophy.
