Title: Søren Kierkegaard
Description: 'Søren Kierkegaard: Subjectivity, Irony, and the Crisis of Modernity' examines the life and work of the famous Danish religious writer. Kierkegaard was a unique figure who has inspired, provoked, fascinated, and irritated people ever since he walked the streets of Copenhagen. At the end of his life, Kierkegaard said that the only model he had for his work was the Greek philosopher Socrates. This book takes this statement as its point of departure. Jon Stewart explores what Kierkegaard meant by this and shows how different aspects of his writing and argumentative strategy can be traced back to Socrates.
