Kierkegaard

Louis Mackey was Professor of Philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin.

"A sensitive, perceptive study by a philosopher who can write as well as think with verve. It's a joy to read it."-Paul Weiss"I naturally approve highly of the effort to base a study of Kierkegaard in literary criticism, which is by far the most relevant approach to him, and one that helps correct the distortions of work on him which ignores this aspect."-Northrop Frye"It is a book written by a dialectician of Kierkegaard's stature and with subtle wit, mastery of prose, and the ability to be succinct where Kierkegaard was discursive: no summary can do justice to the richness of insight in this book, and it is a source of quotations for anyone with a genuine interest in literature or philosophy, It is undoubtedly the most rewarding book that has come my way in many years."-Martin J. Scott-Taggart, The Journal of European Studies
