Soren Kierkegaard - the prodigious Danish author who published
dozens of genre-bending works of fiction, theology, philosophy and
personal confession before his death in 1855 at the age of
forty-two - would appear to be changing. Hitherto he has been
interpreted either as a grim preacher of doom or as a precursor of
'existentialism'. But at the end of the twentieth century he is
beginning to emerge as a fundamental philosophical theorist and a
scintillating theoretical stylist - on of the greatest figures of
modern European thought, and perhaps a proto-postmodern to rival
Nietzsche and Heidegger both in theme and significance.
Beginning with an editorial introduction outlining the
contradictory history of Kierkegaard's reputation, this Critical
Reader brings together a range of essays - some previously
published - which together paint a vivid picture of the new
Kierkegaard.
Contributors include Paul Ricoeur, Emmanuel Levinas, Wilhelm
Anz, David Wood, Joakim Garff, George Steiner, Gabriel Josipovici,
Syviane Agacinski and Jacque
Derrida.
