Description

Kierkegaard as Psychologist by Vincent McCarthy offers a fresh perspective on the philosopher's work. Kierkegaard's psychological thought has had a significant influence on existential psychoanalysis and continues to be studied by scholars today.

McCarthy elucidates often-difficult texts, highlighting the rich psychological dimension of Kierkegaard's thought. This book provides an introduction for those new to Kierkegaard's work and offers valuable insights for specialists alike.

A coherent thread runs through Kierkegaard's pseudonymous works, demonstrating that he was pursuing a form of psychology before it became a formally recognized academic field. Rich comparisons with Freud and Heidegger add depth to this thought-provoking study.
