Download Kierkegaard: A Single Life AudioBook Free
Discover a new knowledge of Kierkegaard's thought and his life, a tale filled with romance, betrayal, humor, and riots. Kierkegaard, like Einstein and Freud, is one particular geniuses whose ideas permeate the culture and form our world even when relatively few people have read their works. That insufficient familiarity with the true Kierkegaard is going to change. This lucid new biography by scholar Stephen Backhouse presents the genius as well as the acutely delicate man behind the amazing literature. Scholarly and accessible, Kierkegaard: A Single Life introduces his many guises - the thinker, the fan, the recluse, the article writer, the controversialist - in prose so powerful it reads just like a novel. One chapter examines Kierkegaard's impact on our biggest cultural icons - Kafka, Barth, Bonhoeffer, Camus, and Martin Luther King, Jr., to mention only a few. A good appendix presents an overview of each of Kierkegaard's works for the scholar and place listener alike.
