Product Description

Book Description
Søren Kierkegaard is now regarded as the founder of Existentialism and the first modern theologian. Philosophy, in Kierkegaard’s radical view, was of no use unless it permanently changed people’s lives. His distrust of grand abstract schemes, particularly Hegel’s, and his insistence that philosophy is essentially writing also identify him as a forerunner of postmodernist concerns.

Kierkegaard disguised his own authorship by adopting multiple pseudonyms and plural viewpoints often contrary to his beliefs. He was the first great thinker to explore the unexplained sense of anxiety that oppresses modern individuals. He probed deep into the paradoxes of religious belief and challenged a society which falsely claimed to be "Christian".

Introducing Kierkegaard is an account of the strange life and ideas of a being tortured by his attempts to change the priorities of Western thought. Dave Robinson offers a clear path through Kierkegaard’s "anti-philosophy", and Oscar Zarate illustrates a passionate story with skill and humour.

About the Author
Dave Robinson has taught philosophy for many years and is the author of many Introducing titles, including the bestsellers Philosophy and Ethics. He is now a part-time lecturer in Critical Studies and lives in Devon.

Oscar Zarate is an acclaimed graphic artist, and has illustrated many titles in the Introducing series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear & Concise, 3 Jan 2008
By R-S (Scotland) - See all my reviews
The majority of the book looks at his ideas and works. It also tells us briefly about his life, and ties events and relationships of his in neatly with the work he produced. Easily read and understood by those who know nothing of Kierkegaard.
