4.0 out of 5 stars
An interesting fragment,
By Nathaniel Avery (Bicton, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Johannes Climacus: A Life of Doubt (Paperback)
This slight novella tells the tale of Johannes Climacus, interspersing philosophical investigation with his personal information.Kierkegaard is considered the father of existentialism, and it is just as evident here. The attempt to impose a static philosophy on the process of becoming leads to philosophic untruth and irrelevance. There is something of aesthetic brilliance in the dialectical fortresses they construct, but no individual could ever be contained in those propositions. It is in the form of Johannes Climacus that Kierkegaard expresses his revelation. The book is skillfully constructed and witty. For someone interested in Kierkegaard's thought, but turned off by his monstrous, enigmatic books like Either/Or, I would recommend this book. This is philosophy that reaches the individual but never forces him into a system to regurgitate. |
