Volume 16, Tome II: Kierkegaard's Literary Figures and Motifs (eBook, ePUB)

Gulliver to Zerlina

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

While Kierkegaard is perhaps known best as a religious thinker and philosopher, there is an unmistakable literary element in his writings. He often explains complex concepts and ideas by using literary figures and motifs that he could assume his readers would have some familiarity with. This dimension of his thought has served to make his writings far more popular than those of other philosophers and theologians, but at the same time it has made their interpretation more complex. The present volume is dedicated to the treatment of the variety of literary figures and motifs he used.
