Kierkegaard's writings are interspersed with remarkable stories of
love, commonly understood as a literary device that illustrates the
problematic nature of aesthetic and ethical forms of life, and the
contrasting desirability of the life of faith. Sharon Krishek
argues that for Kierkegaard the connection between love and faith
is far from being merely illustrative. Rather, love and faith have
a common structure, and are involved with one another in a way that
makes it impossible to love well without faith. Remarkably, this
applies to romantic love no less than to neighbourly love.
Krishek's original and compelling interpretation of the Works of
Love in the light of Kierkegaard's famous analysis of the
paradoxicality of faith in Fear and Trembling shows that
preferential love, and in particular romantic love, plays a much
more important and positive role in his thinking than has usually
been assumed.
