Description

Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) remains one of the most enigmatic, captivating, and elusive thinkers in the history of European thought.

The Kierkegaardian Mind provides a comprehensive survey of his work, placing it not only in its historical context but also exploring its contemporary significance. Comprising thirty-eight chapters by a team of international contributors, this handbook is divided into eight parts covering the following themes:

Methodology
Ethics
Aesthetics
Philosophy of Religion and Theology
Philosophy of Mind
Anthropology
Epistemology
Politics.

Essential reading for students and researchers in philosophy, Kierkegaard’s work is central to the study of political philosophy, literature, political thought, and theology.
