Becoming a Self

Více o knize

Kierkegaard's philosophy, particularly his assertion that "truth is subjectivity," is explored in this comprehensive guide. Merold Westphal examines the text within Kierkegaard's broader work, emphasizing the theory of existence stages and his critique of Hegel. He argues that Kierkegaard's insights can enrich religious thought within postmodernism, revealing that a decentered self can still embody responsibility and community. This volume positions Kierkegaard's ideas as a critique of modern complacency, challenging the notion that individualism leads to isolation.
