ABSTRACT
Kierkegaard in Post/Modernity aims to demonstrate Soren Kierkegaard's significance not only for religious thought but also for philosophy. This goal has been reinforced in the last five years, for example, by renowned scholar C. Stephen Evans in his brief guide, Kierkegaard: An Introduction, and it indicates an overarching movement in the most crucial interpretations of the last twenty years. By situating Kierkegaard in between modernity and postmodernity—hence the " / " in the title—this collection places his thought in relation to other key figures who have critiqued "the present age" and the era of modern philosophy, as they have been embedded in false notions of objective Enlightenment reason. Several influential interpretations of Kierkegaard early in the last century attempted to pigeonhole his writings as those of an anti-social religious dandy. Since the 1980s this caricature has been rendered defunct by many powerful biographical, philosophic, and theological representations of Kierkegaard to the contrary.
