Opis

This major study of Kierkegaard and love explores Kierkegaard's description of love's treachery, difficulty, and hope. It reads his Works of Love as a text that both deciphers and complicates the central books in his pseudonymous canon: Fear and Trembling, Repetition, Either/Or and Stages on Life's Way. Amy Laura Hall argues that a spiritual void brings each text into being, and her interpretation is as much about faith as about love. Her scholarly and lyrical style makes this study a poetic contribution to ethics and the philosophy of religion.

Recenzje

'Kierkegaard and the Treachery of Love does make several welcome corrections to the received interpretation of Kierkegaard … Hall's work offers us an extremely contentious but nevertheless supportable and scholarly reading of Kierkegaard … clarification, reasoned provocation and insightful exposition …'. The Heythrop Journal
