While Kierkegaard's philosophy focuses on concrete human existence,
his thought has rarely been challenged regarding concrete and
contemporary moral issues. This volume offers an overview of
contemporary ethical issues from a Kierkegaardian perspective,
deliberately taking him out of the sphere of Theology and Christian
Ethics, and examining the ways in which his works can provide
fruitful insight into questions which Kierkegaard certainly never
himself envisaged, such as accepting refugees into our communities,
understanding how we relate to social media, issues of identity
with regard to bioengineering or transgender identity, or problems
of interreligious dialogue. The contributions in this volume, by
international scholars, seek to address both the challenges and
insights of Kierkegaard's existential ethics for our contemporary
societies, and its relation to topics of current interest in the
field of moral philosophy. The volume is organized into three major
sections: the first focusing on the relation between ethics and
religion, a topic of primary importance with regard to the
development of religious foundationalism and the challenges of
dealing with diverse belief systems within our communities; the
second on our understandings of ourselves and our relations to
others with regard to issues of media and community; and the third
targeting more specifically questions of identity, and the ways in
which the developments of modern science impact identity
construction. This work offers new paths for critically engaging
with the moral issues of our times from an existential perspective.
