Excellent biography
Well written, comprehensive and compelling reading. It's a little overly technical in places (although this may suit some readers). It also seems to focus a little to much on Kierkegaard's early works- the chapters on his later works e.g. Practice in Christianity, Sickness... and that part of his life feel somewhat more compressed than earlier ones (perhaps...

Excellent biography,
This review is from: Kierkegaard: A Biography (Hardcover)
Well written, comprehensive and compelling reading.It's a little overly technical in places (although this may suit some readers). It also seems to focus a little to much on Kierkegaard's early works- the chapters on his later works e.g. Practice in Christianity, Sickness... and that part of his life feel somewhat more compressed than earlier ones (perhaps it's actually a case of the earlier chapters being too long?) If you are new to Kierkegaard I would suggest reading Penguin's edition of Kierkegaard's Paper and Journals (edited by Alistair Hannay) first, and then this biography.

Kierkegaard ideas are timeless,
By Dag Stomberg (St. Andrews, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kierkegaard: A Biography (Hardcover)
Alastair Hannay may help us develop some of the ways of understanding the philosophy of religion as purported byKierkegaard. The accomplishments are many in this definitive biography. Only an author who has combined his erudite study of the subject with probing decisive language skills is capable of producing such a book. Soren Kierkegaard's concepts are very timeless! At times, it is necessary to look to a well qualified interpreter, to help us on our way to realize the meaning of quite a number of edifying discourses. Do explore where ethical issues arise! Dag Stomberg St. Andrews, Scotland

KIERKEGAARD'S LIFE,

This review is from: Kierkegaard: A Biography (Hardcover)
Alastair HannayKierkegaard, A Biography (Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 2001) 496 pages (ISBN: 0-512-56077-2; hardcover) (Library of Congress call number: B4376.H36 2001) Alastair Hannay is a long-time scholar and translator of Kierkegaard's works. He puts his deep understanding of SK into this comprehensive story of SK's life. References is made to the writing and publishing of each book, but Hannay do not concentrate on the content of SK's thought as much as on the events of his life and relationships. I recommend reading this biography alongside Søren Kierkegaard: Papers and Journals: A Selection, which is organized chronologically ---selected and translated by Alastair Hannay. James Leonard Park, existential philosopher |
