Description
Søren Kierkegaard: A Single Life presents a fresh understanding of one of the greatest minds of the nineteenth century. This biography by scholar Stephen Backhouse offers a compelling and fluid account of Kierkegaard's life, exploring his many guises as thinker, lover, recluse, writer, and controversialist. Drawing on newly uncovered biographical material, this book sheds light on Kierkegaard's complex relationships with the Church, religion, politics, and poetry. With empathy and humor, Backhouse presents a nuanced portrait of a man whose ideas permeated culture and shaped modern Christianity, influencing thinkers as diverse as Franz Kafka and Martin Luther King Jr. An appendix provides an overview of each of Kierkegaard's works, making this biography accessible to both scholars and lay readers.
