This title was first published in 2001: Debate about the reality of
God risks becoming an arid stalemate. An unbridgeable gulf seems to
be fixed between realists, arguing that God exists independently of
our language and beliefs, and anti-realists for whom God-language
functions to express human spiritual ideals, with no reference to a
reality external to the faith of the believer. Soren Kierkegaard
has been enlisted as an ally by both sides of this debate.
Kierkegaard, Language and the Reality of God presents a new
approach, exploring the dynamic nature of Kierkegaard's texts and
the way they undermine neat divisions between realism and
anti-realism, objectivity and subjectivity. Showing that
Kierkegaard's understanding of language is crucial to his practice
of communication, and his account of the paradoxes inherent in
religious discourse, Shakespeare argues that Kierkegaard advances a
form of 'ethical realism' in which the otherness of God is met in
the making of liberating signs. Not only are new perspectives
opened on Kierkegaard's texts, but his own contribution to ongoing
debates is affirmed in its vital, creative and challenging
significance.
