Thinking through Kierkegaard

"Thinking through Kierkegaard is a critical evaluation of Soren Kierkegaard's vision of the normatively human, of who we are and might aspire to become, and of what Peter J. Mehl calls our existential identity. Through a pragmatist examination of three of Kierkegaard's key pseudonymous "voices" [Judge William, Climacus, and Anti-Climacus], Mehl argues that Kierkegaard's path is not the only end of our search but instead leads us to affirm a plurality of paths toward a fulfilling existential identity." "Drawing on accounts of what it is to be a person by prominent philosophers outside of Kierkegaard scholarship, including Charles Taylor, Owen Flanagan, Alasdair MacIntyre and Thomas Nagel, Mehl also works to bridge the analytic and continental traditions and reestablishes Kierkegaard as a rich resource for situating moral and spiritual identity."--Jacket.
