    Spck Introduction To Kierkegaard

    Today's Price £8.72

    Product Description

    This is a book about a remarkable man - yet in an important sense it is not about this man at all. Soren Kierkegaard died in Copenhagen, Denmark, at the age of forty-two in 1855. His writings had little influence in his lifetime and after his death, even with the translation of some of his works into German, he was barely known. Yet today, he is internationally accepted as one of the world's greatest thinkers and is often considered the father of existentialism.Here, Peter Vardy makes Kierkegaard's often complex and difficult thinking accessible to a wide audience. He sketches a few of the central themes of Kierkegaard's thought and gives the reader a feeling for the way he approaches problems and some sense of the breadth of his work. This revised and expanded edition is an ideal introduction to Kierkegaard for both students and the general reader.

    The SPCK Introduction to Kierkegaard

    This is the SPCK Introduction to the life and thinking of the nineteenth century Danish philosopher and theologian. The author, Peter Vardy, sets out to explain in laymen’s terms the essential thought and ideas of Kierkegaard contained in his prolific publications. Kierkegaard throughout his life searched for truth and meaning in our concept of God, in particular the relationship between religious faith and reason. His conclusion was that there is no objective truth and that reason cannot explain the Christian’s belief in God. Faith is paramount. He criticised the state church of Denmark for not being totally committed and was at variance with the religious superiors of the Lutheran church. He was a controversial figure, a philosopher, theologian and psychologist, and one whose arguments are still persuasive today. Vardy has done a great job in explaining these arguments clearly and making them accessible to the ordinary reader.
