Kierkegaard : A Biography

Written by one of the world`s preeminent authorities on Kierkegaard, this biography is the first to reveal the delicate imbrication of Kierkegaard`s life and thought. It traces the many factors that led this gifted but (according to his headmaster) `exceedingly childish youth` to grapple with traditional philosophical problems and religious themes in a way that later generations would recognize as amounting to a philosophical revolution. This book offers a powerful narrative account which will be of interest to anyone looking for an authoritative guide to Kierkegaard`s life and work.
