Ulrich Knappe works at the Søren Kierkegaard Research Centre at Copenhagen University, Denmark.

"This excellent study of Kierkegaard is based on a very careful reading of the texts and a keen understanding of the issues Kierkegaard confronted. The surprising conclusion to which the author comes, that Kierkegaard's philosophy is in its basic structure very close to that of Kant is elaborated with great frown and clarity and vigourously defended. This book will be of great interest to anyone concerned with the history of ethics in the 19th century and indeed to anyone concerned with ethics as a serious philosophical enterprise."Raymond Geuss/Reader in Philosophy/University of Cambridge
