Here historian Bruce Kirmmse provides a collection of every known eyewitness account of the great Danish thinker. These accounts give us a glimpse of Kierkegaard's spiritual and intellectual development, along with other aspects of his life. 21 photos.
An Introduction to Child Theology
These essays in this book are pastoral and scholarly, to encourage parents to nurture and foster Christian family life by learning from scripture and history. The Bible, in both testaments, offers us stories that provide moral and spiritual substance to the nurture of the child and the family. Beginning with the mythopoetic story of Adam and Eve, and the fratricide of Abel by the envy of Cain, the stories of the sacrifices parents made, then moving on to the stories of Abraham and Isaac, Ruth and her mother-in-law, Hannah and her son Samuel, Jeremiah the child prophet, these stories form our moral imaginations. Further, for Christians, they all augur the promise of the Incarnation, with the birth of Jesus to Mary and Joseph. Then through the history of the Church the role of the Child is further unfolded. It begins with Jesus teaching that to be as one of his disciples is to be a child. This is so radical that the subsequent churches have found it hard to follow. Perhaps one symbolic attempt was that of the monks' cowl which is a child's garment, and still worn in their monasteries. The book even explores the way that Christian maturity is one of childlikeness.

Kierkegaard on Dialogical Education
Kierkegaard on Dialogical Education: Vulnerable Freedom examines a unique conception of freedom that underscores the productive role of human vulnerability, as found in the work of Søren Kierkegaard. Anna Strelis Söderquist uncovers Kierkegaard’s method of “indirect communication” as a formative and dialogical approach to education that guides a person in becoming not only free and independent, but also receptive and empathetic. This approach bestows upon a human being the dignity that comes from being both capable and humble. It emphasizes the need for trust and courage alike in our dialogical relations, freeing us to receive and respond to the other both in our need and through our...
Philosopher of the Heart
Selected as a Book of the Year in The Times Literary Supplement 'This lucid and riveting new biography at once rescuses Kierkegaard from the scholars and shows why he is such an intriguing and useful figure' Observer Søren Kierkegaard, one of the most passionate and challenging of modern philosophers, is now celebrated as the father of existentialism - yet his contemporaries described him as a philosopher of the heart. Over about a decade in the 1840s and 1850s, writings poured from his pen analysing love and suffering, courage and anxiety, religious longing and defiance, and forging a new philosophical style rooted in the inward drama of being human. As Christianity seemed to sleepwalk thr...
Kierkegaards saltomortalespring
Torsdag den 12. november 1840 foretog den 27-årige Søren Kierkegaard som sædvanlig en gåtur i Københavns gader. Undervejs slog han et smut omkring Børsen, hvor han i Schubothes boghandel købte en splinterny roman i to bind skrevet af Carl Bernhard. Gamle Minder lød dens lovende titel. Efter købet ilede Kierkegaard hjem til sin lejlighed på Nørregade, hvor han i de følgende dage slugte den ekstremt underholdende bog, der foregår i Struensee-årene og handler om lidenskab og troskab. Ja, han blev så begejstret for værket, at han onsdag den 18. november forærede det til sin forlovede den 18-årige Regine Olsen. Hvorfor ville Kierkegaard for enhver pris have netop hende til at læse Bernhards roman? Hvilken rolle kom Gamle Minder i det hele taget til at spille i den verdensberømte love story, der udspillede sig for knap 200 år siden bag voldene i Kongens København? Kierkegaards saltomortalespring henvender sig til alle, der måtte interessere sig for Søren Kierkegaard, Regine Olsen, Carl Bernhard og/eller tilsyneladende ulykkelige kærlighedshistorier, der måske alligevel ender lykkeligt?
