Søren Kierkegard, një nga mendimtarët më origjinalë të shekullit të XIX shkroi intensivisht mbi temat që lidheshin kryesisht me fenë, psikologjinë dhe letërsinë. Ky libër tregon se si Kierkegard i lëvroi idetë dhe pikëpamjet e tij në kundërrjedhë me opinionet dhe qëndrimet sunduese të kohës. Në këtë libër, Patrick Gardiner-i përshkruan reagimin e Kierkegardit ndaj teorive etike dhe fetare të Kantit dhe Hegelit, duke treguar në të njëjtën kohë se si qëndrimi show more i tij binte ndesh me doktrinat e lëvruara nga Fojerbahu dhe Marksi. Diagnostikimi i hollësishëm që Kierkegardi i bën gjendjes në të cilën ndodhet natyra njerëzore, e cila përmblidhet në kuptimin e thellë që përmban zgjedhja individuale, është padyshim teoria që krijoi ndikimin më të thellë në zhvillimet filozofike të mëvonshme, sidomos rrymës së ekzistencializmit. Sakaq, Patrick Gardiner-i qëmton në mënyrë kritike konceptin dhe qëndrimin paradoksal që Kierkegardi kish në lidhje me fenë. Kjo hyrje dritëhedhëse përfundon me ndikimin që Kierkegardi la në mendimin filozofik bashkëkohor. show less
Not quite what it says on the tin as it is very focussed on how Kierkegaard disagreed with Hegel. I found it very heavy going till I read the relevant chapter of "Sophie's World" to orientate me.
(book #9 in the 2004 book challenge)
First, I have to give the fine folks at the Oxford University Press mad props for truth in advertising. This book is indeed about Kierkegaard, an introduction, and very short. I picked this up because I felt rather ignorant after reading Sophie's World. I would say it provided a very decent overview for someone who was looking to get the most basic grasp on the general thrust of Kierkegaard's work. It also has a very mod little cover, I felt like I should show more wear a black turtleneck to read it.
Grade: Well, it's A- in my book, but can you really grade A Very Short Introduction? It just, well, is.
Recommended: to people looking for A Very Short Introduction to Kierkegaard. show less

This is a deeper and more interesting (and a bit longer) introduction to Kierkegaard than the corresponding entry in the 90 Minutes series.
