In a short and unhappy life, he wrote many books and articles on literary, satirical, religious and psychological themes, but the diversity and idiosyncratic style of his writing have contributed to a misunderstanding of his ideas. In this book--the only introduction to the full range of Kierkegaard's thought--Patrick Gardiner demonstrates how Kierkegaard developed his ideas and examines his thoughts in light of the doctrines on society developed by his contemporaries Marx and Feuerbach. Finally, he assesses the profound importance of Kierkegaard's ideas on the development of modern ways of thinking.Illustrator:YesItem Length:7.7 inLanguage:Englishbrand:Oxford University Press, IncorporatedLCCN:88-004698Intended Audience:TradeISBN-13:9780192876423Format:Trade PaperbackBook Series:Past Masters Ser.ISBN-10:0192876422LC Classification Number:B4377.G37 1988Publication Year:1988Item Width:5.1 inPublisher:Oxford University Press, Incorporated
