A Kierkegaard Handbook - Paperback

Fredrick Sontag has created a remarkable work on Soren Kierkegaard. He combines a brief biography, an introduction to Kierkegaard's writings plus interpretations of the writings. This overview offers a framework in which the entire life and work of Kierkegaard is put into perspective. Kierkegaard is very difficult to understand. Sontag has integrated the man and his work in a way that enables you to grasp the essence of this great philosopher. 'A Kierkegaard Handbook' is a valuable and useful tool for better understanding of a significant existentialist. Professors, students, and Kierkegaard enthusiasts will find this a remarkable and certainly informative volume. There is a wealth of books on existentialism and existentialists (Kierkegaard is of course always included) but now Sontag presents Kierkegaard and his major concepts in a readily accessible format -- all under one cover. The handbook includes definitions of terms and explanations of concepts.
