Passionate Reason – Making Sense of Kierkegaard`s Philosophical Fragments de C. Stephen Evans

Passionate Reason – Making Sense of Kierkegaard`s Philosophical Fragments

Autor C. Stephen Evans
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 noi 1992
Johannes Climacus, Soren KierkegaardÕs pseudonymous author of Philosophical Fragments, ÒinventsÓ a religion suspiciously resembling Christianity as an alternative to the assumption that humans possess the Truth within themselves. Through this literary device, Climacus raises in a fresh and audacious way age-old questions about the relation of Christian faith to human reason. Is the idea of a human incarnation of God logically coherent? Is religious faith the product of a voluntary choice? In a comprehensive discussion of one of KierkegaardÕs most important books, C. Stephen Evans elucidates KierkegaardÕs novel explanation that the tension between faith and reason must be understood as a consequence of the passionate character of reason itself. Passionate Reason situates KierkegaardÕs philosophy in the context of postmodern religious thought, providing a contemporary reading of Fragments as a challenge to both the modern Enlightenment critique of reason and the postmodern abandonment of truth.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Johannes Climacus, Soren Kierkegaard's pseudonymous author of Philosophical Fragments, ""invents"" a religion suspiciously resembling Christianity as an alternative to the assumption that humans possess the Truth within themselves. Through this literary device, Climacus raises in a fresh and audacious way age-old questions about the relation of Christian faith to human reason. Is the idea of a human incarnation of God logically coherent? Is religious faith the product of a voluntary choice? In a comprehensive discussion of one of Kierkegaard's most important books, C. Stephen Evans elucidates Kierkegaard's novel explanation that the tension between faith and reason must be understood as a consequence of the passionate character of reason itself. Passionate Reason situates Kierkegaard's philosophy in the context of postmodern religious thought, providing a contemporary reading of Fragments as a challenge to both the modern Enlightenment critique of reason and the postmodern abandonment of truth.
