This book challenges the widespread view of Kierkegaard's
idiosyncratic and predominantly religious position on mimesis.
Taking mimesis as a crucial conceptual point of reference in
reading Kierkegaard, this book offers a nuanced understanding of
the relation between aesthetics and religion in his thought.
Kaftanski shows how Kierkegaard's dialectical-existential reading
of mimesis interlaces aesthetic and religious themes, including the
familiar core concepts of imitation, repetition, and admiration as
well as the newly arisen notions of affectivity, contagion, and
crowd behavior. Kierkegaard's enduring relevance to the malaises of
our own day is firmly established by his classic concern for the
meaning of human life informed by reflective meditation on the
mimeticorigins of the contemporary age. Kierkegaard, Mimesis, and
Modernity will be of interest to scholars and advanced students
working on Kierkegaard, Continental philosophy, the history of
aesthetics, and critical and religious studies.
