Johannes Climacus, Soren Kierkegaard's pseudonymous author of
Philosophical Fragments, "invents" a religion suspiciously
resembling Christianity as an alternative to the assumption that
humans possess the Truth within themselves. Through this literary
device, Climacus raises in a fresh and audacious way age-old
questions about the relation of Christian faith to human reason. Is
the idea of a human incarnation of God logically coherent? Is
religious faith the product of a voluntary choice? In a
comprehensive discussion of one of Kierkegaard's most important
books, C. Stephen Evans elucidates Kierkegaard's novel explanation
that the tension between faith and reason must be understood as a
consequence of the passionate character of reason itself.
Passionate Reason situates Kierkegaard's philosophy in the context
of postmodern religious thought, providing a contemporary reading
of Fragments as a challenge to both the modern Enlightenment
critique of reason and the postmodern abandonment of truth."
