Reviews

Leo Stan's Selfhood and Otherness in Kierkegaard's Authorship is an outstanding study that explores Kierkegaard's analyses of different versions of the other. He thus allows Kierkegaard to take his rightful place as an important forerunner of the tradition of heterology that runs from Rosenzweig to Levinas. While this topic has at times been touched upon in the literature, it has never been explored with the acuity and depth of analysis of Stan's investigation. This work will give both students and scholars a greater appreciation for Kierkegaard's views on ethics, psychology, personal identity, and religion. -- Jon Stewart, Harvard University
