In Kierkegaard and Modern European Philosophy: An Introduction
Michael Weston argues that, despite being acknowledged as a
precursor to Nietzsche and post-Nietzschean thinkers such as
Heidegger and Derrida, the radical nature of Kierkegaard's critique
of philosophy has been missed. Weston examines and explains the
metaphysical tradition, as exemplified by Plato and Hegel, and the
post-metaphysical critiques of Nietzsche, Heidegger and Derrida. He
shows how Kierkegaard's ethical critique of philosophy undermines
the former and escapes the latter. He considers another ethical
critique of philosophy, that of Levinas, before identifying ethics
as the non-philosophical site where philosophy can be criticised.
Kierkegaard and Modern European Philosophy: An Introduction argues
that, by refusing to allow philosophy jurisdiction over ethics and
religion, Kieregaard's critique applies as much to modern
continental thought as to the metaphysical thought it seeks to
undermine.
