"An Introduction to Kierkegaard" is an accessible introduction to
one of the most influential philosophers of the nineteenth century.
Peter Vardy is an internationally known scholar with several
bestselling titles.
Soren Kierkegaard died in Copenhagen, Denmark, at the age of
forty-two in 1855. His writings had little influence in his
lifetime and after his death; even with the translation of some of
his works into German, he was barely known. Yet today, he is
internationally accepted as one of the world's greatest thinkers
and is often considered the father of existentialism. The purposes
of this book are very similar to Kierkegaard's own purposes,
namely:
- to help you think through the meaning and purpose of your life
and what Christianity means today
- to reintroduce Christianity into a world that has largely
forgotten what the word means
- to show the limitation of reason and modern philosophy
Here, Peter Vardy makes Kierkegaard's often complex and difficult
thinking accessible to a wide audience. He sketches a few of the
central themes of Kierkegaard's thought and gives the reader a
feeling for the way he approaches problems and some sense of the
breadth of his work. This revised and expanded edition is an ideal
introduction to Kierkegaard for both students and the general
reader.
