Summary
"This introduction to the writings of Soren Kierkegaard is for anyone who has felt daunted by the prospect of reading and understanding the work of one of the most important yet elusive nineteenth-century thinkers. Kierkegaard scholar M. Jamie Ferreira sets out to make the Danish philosopher's work accessible with a unique and innovative "how to" approach, guiding readers through his works and showing how he thought, rather than simply what he thought." "The result is an extraordinary text, suitable for accompanying the new reader of the primary works but with many things to offer those returning to them." --Book Jacket.
