Kierkegaard's Concepts is a comprehensive, multi-volume survey of
the key concepts and categories that inform Kierkegaard's writings.
Each article is a substantial, original piece of scholarship, which
discusses the etymology and lexical meaning of the relevant Danish
term, traces the development of the concept over the course of the
authorship, and explains how it functions in the wider context of
Kierkegaard's thought. Concepts have been selected on the basis of
their importance for Kierkegaard's contributions to philosophy,
theology, the social sciences, literature and aesthetics, thereby

Certain questions have recurred throughout the history of
philosophy. They are the big questions-about happiness and the good
life, the limits of knowledge, the ultimate structure of reality,
the nature of consciousness, the relation between causality and
free will, the pervasiveness of suffering, and the conditions for a
just and flourishing society-that thinkers in different cultures
across the ages have formulated in their own terms in an attempt to
make sense of their lives and the world around them. The essays in
this book turn to the major figures and texts of the Buddhist
tradition in order to expand and enrich our thinking on these
enduring questions. Examining them from a comparative and
cross-cultural perspective demonstrates the value of alternative
ways of addressing philosophical problems, showing how different
approaches can produce new and unexpected kinds of questions and
answers. Engaging with the Buddhist tradition, this book shows,
helps return philosophy to its practical as well as theoretical
aim: not only understanding the world but also knowing how to live
in it. Featuring striking and generative comparisons of Buddhist
and Western thought, Philosophy's Big Questions challenges our
thinking in fundamental ways and offers readers new conceptual
tools, methods, and insights for the pursuit of a good and happy
life.
