The Kierkegaard scholarship industry is one of the marvels of the last twenty years of the history of ideas. Since the early 1990s, Kierkegaard has become one of the best translated, most rigorously documented and frequently cited philosophers. [...] It is remarkable how long it has taken Kierkegaard scholars to face up finally to his conservatism and general disdain for the social. It is to be hoped, therefore, that Kierkegaard and the Political - alongside Assiter's own equally confrontational Kierkegaard, Metaphysics and Political Theory (2009) - marks a watershed in transforming the standard `Kierkegaard or the political' into a series of interventions into Kierkegaard and the political. - Daniel Whistler, Radical Philosophy, November 2013.
