Description
Søren Kierkegaard's Philosophical Fragments presents a provocative challenge to traditional notions of reason and faith. Through his pseudonymous author Johannes Climacus, Kierkegaard explores the idea that human reason is inherently passionate and that this passion can lead to tension with Christian faith. In Passionate Reason, C. Stephen Evans provides a comprehensive analysis of one of Kierkegaard's most important works, situating it within the context of postmodern religious thought. This book offers a contemporary reading of Fragments as a challenge to both the modern Enlightenment critique of reason and the postmodern abandonment of truth. By elucidating Kierkegaard's novel explanation of the relationship between faith and reason, Evans provides insight into the complexities of Kierkegaard's philosophy and its ongoing relevance in today's world.
