This book takes the debate about the (ir)rationality of the
transition to ethical life in Kierkegaard's thought in a
significantly new direction. Connecting the field of Kierkegaard
studies with the meta-ethical debate about practical reasons, and
engaging with Alasdair MacIntyre's and Bernard Williams' thought,
it explores the rationality of the choices for ethical life and
Christian existence. Defending a so-called 'internalist'
understanding of practical reasons, Compaijen argues that previous
attempts to defend Kierkegaard against MacIntyre's charge of
irrationality have failed. He provides a thorough analysis of such
fundamental topics as becoming oneself, the ideal of objectivity in
ethics and religion, the importance of the imagination, the power
and limits of philosophical argument, and the relation between
grace and nature. This book will be of great interest to
Kierkegaard scholars in philosophy and theology, and, more
generally, to anyone fascinated by the rationality of the
transition to ethical life and the choice to accept Christianity.
