of Stephen Backhouse
Description
Discover a new understanding of Kierkegaardâs thought and his life, a story filled with romance, betrayal, humor, and riots.Kierkegaard, like Einstein and Freud, is one of those geniuses whose ideas permeate the culture and shape our world even when relatively few people have read their works. That lack of familiarity with the real Kierkegaard is about to changeThis lucid new biography by scholar Stephen Backhouse presents the genius as well as the acutely sensitive man behind the brilliant books. Scholarly and accessible, Kierkegaard: A Single Life introduces his many guisesâthe thinker, the lover, the recluse, the writer, the controversialistâin prose so compelling it reads like a novel.One chapter examines Kierkegaardâs influence on our greatest cultural iconsâKafka, Barth, Bonhoeffer, Camus, and Martin Luther King Jr., to name only a few. A useful appendix presents an overview of each of Kierkegaardâs works, for the scholar and lay reader alike.
