Reviews
Eric Ziolkowski's Kierkegaard, Literature, and the Arts is a thought-provoking exploration of Kierkegaard's treatment of the aesthetic generally, and of the arts individually. Ziolkowski has done a masterful job of organizing the essays as mutually illuminating contributions on a variety of themes, such as receptivity and engagement, immanence and transcendence, and Bildung and disruption. Throughout, Ziolkowski and his contributors engage these issues with a lively sense for the apt metaphor, for the revealing historical and cultural reference, and for the sheer variety of voices and forms that comprise the Kierkegaardian authorship. --Vanessa Parks Rumble, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Boston College
This is an imaginative, provocative collection of essays that not only teaches us about Kierkegaard, but it teaches us to be better, more well-informed readers of him. At its heart is the often understated, or barely stated, sense of Kierkegaard as a religious thinker--disruptive, unsettling, creative. Eric Ziolkowski deserves our gratitude for his extensive, fascinating and original book that expands the boundaries of our thoughts on religion, literature and the arts in the writings of the Danish master. --Literature and Theology Eric Ziolkowski's Kierkegaard, Literature, and the Arts is a thought-provoking exploration of Kierkegaard's treatment of the aesthetic generally, and of the arts individually.
