Frederick Douglass and the Philosophy of Religion

An Interpretation of Narrative, Art, and the Political

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Timothy J. Golden presents an existential, phenomenological, and political interpretation of Douglass's use of narrative. Reading Douglass with Kierkegaard, Kafka, Kant, and Levinas, Golden argues that analytic theism is an inauthentic preoccupation with knowledge at the expense of a concrete moral sensibility that Douglass's narrative provides.
