Overview

Kierkegaardian Phenomenologies edited by J. Aaron Simmons, Jeffrey Hanson, and Wojciech Kaftanski, offers a substantive, diverse, and timely consideration of phenomenological engagements within the thought of Søren Kierkegaard. Featuring original essays from a distinguished global collection of established and emerging scholars representing different schools of thought, this volume explains how the interest in a phenomenological reading of Kierkegaard is not only vital, but continues to grow in importance by way of reaching new users and forcing the old users to revisit their views. Divided into four parts—Phenomenological Explorations, On Hearing and Seeing, Rethinking Faith and Despair, and Kierkegaard and New Phenomenology—this collection not only reflects the current state of scholarly conversations in both Kierkegaardian studies and phenomenological research, but also envisions new directions in which they should go, exploring ways that a Kierkegaardian approach to phenomenology might help us to re-envision Kierkegaard scholarship and re-enliven phenomenological philosophy.

A remarkable unfolding of a Kierkegaardian approach to phenomenology. The essays in this volume are indicative of a genuine opening in Kierkegaard scholarship, implementing new ways of reading his signed and pseudonymous texts. --Frances Maughan-Brown, College of the Holy Cross
