About this title

Synopsis

This is the first English edition of a major work by the Danish philosopher and theologian K. E. Løgstrup (1905-81). It focuses on four main themes in Kierkegaard: his understanding of Christ and Christianity; his understanding of suffering in human existence; Christian vs. secular ethics; and Platonistic influences on Kierkegaard.
