Description
Discover the profound insights of one of the greatest philosophers in Kierkegaard's Writings, XII, Volume I. This essential edition, published by Princeton University Press, offers both scholars and enthusiasts a deep dive into Sřren Kierkegaard’s pivotal thoughts surrounding faith, individuality, and the essence of truth. In Philosophical Fragments, the pseudonymous author Johannes Climacus examines what one must do to transcend mere recollection of truths inherent within. This exploration lays the groundwork for the Concluding Unscientific Postscript, where Kierkegaard dons his pseudonymous mask again to present a playful yet incisive critique of how subjective truth might be reconciled with Christianity. Both ironic and engaging, this masterwork—the cornerstone of Kierkegaard's philosophical journey—demands contemplation and introspection. Divided into two parts, the volume investigates Christianity's objective truths and the individual’s subjective experience in embracing faith. Furthermore, it includes an illuminating addendum wherein Kierkegaard elucidates his complex relationship with his pseudonymous works. Ideal for philosophy students, scholars of existentialism, and readers curious about the intersection of faith and reason, Kierkegaard's Writings, XII, Volume I is a must-have addition to any philosophical library. Immerse yourself in the world of existential thought, and explore Kierkegaard's lasting impact on modern philosophy with this vital text.
