Reviews

"Are our lives enacted dramatic narratives? Did Kierkegaard understand human existence in these terms? Anyone grappling with these two questions will find in these excellent essays a remarkable catalogue of insights and arguments to be reckoned with in giving an answer. That is no small achievement.-- ""Alasdair MacIntyre, University of Notre Dame"" This wonderful collection tackles the issue of who I am and where I'm going (if anywhere), and the place of telling my story in forming my identity. It opens new vistas on this philosophical concern, drawing on MacIntyre, Taylor and Frankfurt, and centrally, Kierkegaard - a virtuoso explorer of this terrain.-- ""Edward F. Mooney, Professor Emeritus, Syracuse University"""
