Product Description

The nature of Kierkegaard's political legacy is complicated by the religious character of his writings. Exploring Kierkegaard's relevancy for this political-theological moment, this volume offers trans-disciplinary and multi-religious perspectives on Kierkegaard studies and political theology. Privileging contemporary philosophical and political-theological work that is based on Kierkegaard, this volume is an indispensable resource for Kierkegaard scholars, theologians, philosophers of religion, ethicists, and critical researchers in religion looking to make sense of current debates in the field. While this volume shows that Kierkegaard's theological legacy is a thoroughly political one, we are left with a series of open questions as to what a Kierkegaardian interjection into contemporary political theology might look like. And so, like Kierkegaard's writings, this collection of essays is an argument with itself, and as such, will leave readers both edified and scratching their heads--for all the right reasons. ""While everyone admits Kierkegaard's greatness, our perception of the political dimension of his thought is mired in antagonisms: was he a proto-Fascist, a fundamentalist anti-democrat, a superb dialectical ironist ignoring social life and focusing on subjective experiences? Kierkegaard and Political Theology raises these debates to a new level. It is much more than yet another attempt to 'reactualize' Kierkegaard, to make him useful for our time. It refers to Kierkegaard as a privileged lens through which we can approach in a new way the antagonisms of our dangerous time. So it's not just a volume for those who want to get a better grasp of Kierkegaard, but a must for all those who want to understand our own predicament."" --Slavoj
