Kierkegaard and the Treachery of Love Paperback / softback
by Amy Laura (Duke University, North Carolina) Hall
Part of the Cambridge Studies in Religion and Critical Thought series
Paperback / softback
Description
This is a major study of Kierkegaard and love. Amy Laura Hall explores Kierkegaard's description of love's treachery, difficulty, and hope, reading his Works of Love as a text that both deciphers and complicates the central books in his pseudonymous canon: Fear and Trembling, Repetition, Either/Or, and Stages on Life's Way.
In all of these works, the characters are, as in real life, complex and incomplete, and the conclusions are perplexing.
Hall argues that a spiritual void brings each text into being, and her interpretation is as much about faith as about love.
In a style that is both scholarly and lyrical, she intimates answers to some of the puzzles, making a poetic contribution to ethics and the philosophy of religion.
