Taking Kierkegaard Personally (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780881467703)

TAKING KIERKEGAARD PERSONALLY is a one-of-a-kind volume in which scholars address personal, existential lessons that Kierkegaard has taught them. Papers range from a preacher in Texas discussing how the Dane's thought speaks to black issues, to a development director wondering what Kierkegaard can teach Silicon Valley executives, to a Danish scholar struggling with human autonomy versus dependence on God, to a Jewish scholar finding hope in Kierkegaard's works in which existential alienation from the world is the norm, to a Nigerian scholar introducing Kierkegaard's single individual into his Ndi Igbo community (a tribe predicated to the collective), to an scholar's passion to teach Kierkegaard to Hispanic students, to other scholars coping with deaths of parents, divorce, raising children, working in trauma units, finding the need for self-denial in flourishing countries, preaching valuable sermons, dealing with college campus politics, and living perfectly quotidian lives.
