Although the ideas of Soren Kierkegaard played a pivotal role in
the shaping of mainstream German philosophy and the history of
French existentialism, the question of how philosophers should read
Kierkegaard is a difficult one to settle. His intransigent
religiosity has led some philosophers to view him as essentially a
religious thinker of a singularly anti-philosophical attitude who
should be left to the theologians. In this major new survey of
Kierkegaard's thought, George Pattison addresses this question head
on and shows that although it would be difficult to claim a
"philosophy of Kierkegaard" as one could a philosophy of Kant, or
of Hegel, there are nevertheless significant points of common
interest between Kierkegaard's central thinking and the questions
that concern philosophers today. The challenge of self-knowledge in
an age of moral and intellectual uncertainty that lies at the heart
of Kierkegaard's writings remains as important today as it did in
the culture of post-Enlightenment modernity.
