Soren Kierkegaard is often cast as the forefather of existentialism
and an anti-Hegelian proponent of the single individual. Yet this
book calls these traditional characterizations into question by
arguing that Kierkegaard offers not only a systematic critique of
idealist philosophy, but more surprisingly, a political ontology
that is paradoxically at home in the context of
twenty-first-century philosophical and political thought. Through a
close consideration of his authorship in the context of
nineteenth-century German idealism, Michael O'Neill Burns argues
that Kierkegaard develops an ontology, anthropology and theory of
the political that are outcomes of his critical appropriation of
the philosophical projects of Hegel, Schelling, and Fichte. While
starting out in the philosophical concerns of the nineteenth
century, the book offers an interpretation of Kierkegaard that
shows his relevance to philosophers and political theorists in the
twenty-first century.
