Kierkegaard in Post/Modernity

Kierkegaard is to be taken seriously as a philosopher at the turn of the twenty-first century, and emerges as a vital participant in some of the liveliest controversies in modern philosophy. While some of the essays included here establish Kierkegaard's relevance to the post-modern critique, of logocentrism, others emphasize his contributions to critical social theory.
