"Read this because of Mr. Mueller's philosophy class, and I did enjoy it although I remember being very overwhelmed by the argument. I struggled to conceptualize much of Kierkegaard's philosophy and the category that he argued for above Divine Command Theory. Probably bit off more than I could chew 5 years ago, but it would be interesting to give this a reread and see what I garner from it now.

Medium recommend to those interested in philosophy or Kierkegaard.


Really enjoyed reading this with Jamie. Together I think we teased out a lot of meaning from Kierkegaard's arguments and rhetoric. His preference for 'the poetic' as a medium for philosophy, his categories of faith and infinite resignation were fascinating, and the pictures that he paints throughout, especially of the knight of faith, were striking and affective. I missed so much of this when I read it 8 years ago. Really grateful for Jamie's philosophy background and his insights throughout. Loved this a lot. Looking forward to our next read.

High recommendation to anyone willing to read slowly."
