Kierkegaard's 'Concluding Unscientific Postscript'

Furtak's cutting-edge anthology deftly selects the most insightful contemporary scholars now working to illuminate this deep but difficult text. An immensly rewarding read--highly recommended.

Scholars can find reasons to explain a writer whose belief in the uplifting aspects of irony prompted him to write an enormous text like some sparkling erudition of an imaginary friend who takes back whatever authority readers might want to find in Concluding Unscientific Postscript at the end of the text. Some professional fields have attracted the kind of people who would like to be the imaginary friend Kierkegaard and clients will rely on for guidance, so scholars have an opportunity to visit ongoing concerns when they contribute to a text like this collection of critical views.
