{"product_id":"between-nihilism-and-faith-karsten-harries-9783110226881","title":"Between Nihilism and Faith: A Commentary on Either\/Or","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf the Enlightenment turned to reason to reoccupy the place left vacant by the death of God, the history of the last two centuries has undermined the confidence that reason will bind freedom and keep it responsible. We cannot escape this history, which has issued in a pervasive nihilism and has rendered all appeals to the ethical questionable. Nor could Kierkegaard. The specter of nihilism haunts all of his writings, as it haunts already German romanticism, to which he is so indebted. To exorcize it is his most fundamental concern. And it is the same fundamentally religious concern that makes Kierkegaard so relevant to our situation: What today is to make life meaningful? If not reason, does the turn to the aesthetic promise an answer? To really choose is to bind freedom. Either-Or calls us to make such a choice, i.e. to be authentic. But what does it mean to be authentic? How are we today to think of such an authentic choice? As autonomous action? As a blind leap? As a leap of faith? \u003cem\u003eEither\/Or\u003c\/em\u003e circles around these questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karsten Harries\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 311022688X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110226881\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/17\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Karsten Harries","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44245343404287,"sku":"9783110226881","price":150.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5f597dfc-0dc8-48b1-bea9-bd0fb8d8f068.jpg?v=1693927506","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/between-nihilism-and-faith-karsten-harries-9783110226881","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
