Book Description:

This is a clear, concise introduction to central ideas in the philosophy and theology of Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855), focusing in particular upon his ethical theory and relating it to current debates in this area. Kierkegaard's radical and still inadequately understood work suggests that morality and religion must be seen in terms of the individual's search for a sense of meaning in his or her life, but this does not mean that values are arbitrary or merely subjective.
