Recenzii
This compelling book offers much of interest for both academic and general readers of Kierkegaard. Mark Bernier takes up the theme of hope and persuasively argues that it is more central to Kierkegaard's thought than has often been previously suggested. ... Bernier's thought-provoking book contains much that will inspire further discussion among Kierkegaardians.
The major contribution of Bernier's work lies ... in the convincing demonstration of just how important hope is for understanding the task of self-formation in Kierkegaard. Once again, however, that is not all. Faith as a willingness to hope that defeats despair and accepts the good as gift: such a formulation opens a door for us, not just unto Kierkegaard's thought, but - perhaps - unto the nature of hope itself.
Bernier's monograph is a judiciously written work that articulates a complex thinker with lucidity and great nuance. He includes helpful and concrete examples throughout the book that make Kierkegaard more comprehensible, painting his ideas thus in an attractive light. Its main contribution is clear and persuasive, that hope is central to the Kierkegaardian concept of the self as a task...this is a well-argued book that should make for essential reading for those who desire a clear exposition of Kierkegaard or engaged in Kierkegaard studies.
The treatment here is highly competent and it distinguishes itself from previous work through its persistent focus on the concept of hope.
Admirable
