Kierkegaard

"This work is an insightful introduction by one of Kierkegaard's foremost interpreters. Ferreira introduces readers to Kierkegaard by introducing them to Kierkegaard's texts, and she does so with sensitivity and grace. A remarkable achievement." Professor C. Stephen Evans, Baylor University "Jamie Ferreira's 'Kierkegaard' is clearly written, pedagogically sensitive, and informed by the best current research. It offers teachers, researchers and first-time readers a reliable guide to the whole Kierkegaard, including his edifying and religious works." Professor George Pattison, University of Oxford "Jamie Ferreira has accomplished what I myself would find impossible: She has written an intellectual introduction to Kierkegaard that is accessible to the general reader. Her book provides a comprehensive account of the content of Kierkegaard's writings and captures the spirit of his work. In short, she strikes a felicitous balance between what and how Kierkegaard thought." Niels Jorgen Cappelorn, Soren Kierkegaard Research Center, University of Copenhagen
