| Summary: | Søren Kierkegaard's Concluding Unscientific Postscript has provoked a lively variety of divergent interpretations for a century and a half. It has been both celebrated and condemned as the chief inspiration for twentieth-century existential thought, as a subversive parody of philosophical argument, as a critique of mass society, as a forerunner of phenomenology and of postmodern relativism, and as an appeal for a renewal of religious commitment. These 2010 essays written by international Kierkegaard scholars offer a plurality of critical approaches to this fundamental text of existential philosophy. They cover hotly debated topics such as the tension between the Socratic-philosophical and the Christian-religious; the identity and personality of Kierkegaard's pseudonym 'Johannes Climacus'; his conceptions of paradoxical faith and of passionate understanding; his relation to his contemporaries and to some of his more distant predecessors; and, last but not least, his pertinence to our present-day concerns The "Socratic secret": the postscript to the Philosophical crumbs / M. Jamie Ferreira -- Kierkegaard's Socratic pseudonym: a profile of Johannes Climacus / Paul Muench -- Johannes Climacus' revocation / Alastair Hannay -- From the garden of the dead: Johannes Climacus on religious and irreligious inwardness / Edward F. Mooney -- The Kierkegaardian ideal of 'essential knowing' and the scandal of modern philosophy / Rick Anthony Furtak -- Lessing and Socrates in Kierkegaard's Postscript / Jacob Howland -- Climacus on subjectivity and the system / Merold Westphal -- Humor and irony in the Postscript / John Lippitt -- Climacus on the task of becoming a Christian / Clare Carlisle -- The epistemology of the Postscript / M.G. Piety -- Faith and reason in Kierkegaard's Concluding unscientific postscript / C. Stephen Evans -- Making Christianity difficult: the "existentialist theology" of Kierkegaard's Postscript / David R. Law |
