ABSTRACT

Kasperski's Kierkegaard. Antropologia i dyskurs o czlowieku was the first systematic work dedicated to Kierkegaard's philosophy of man that was widely available to the Polish reader. Contrary to the readings, Kasperski claims to offer a comprehensive analysis of Kierkegaard's thought that is based on understanding Kierkegaard's discourse on man as the underlying theme of his writings. But the discourse on man is not a mere term for what is considered anthropology. Kasperski's monograph offers a broad introduction to Kierkegaard's anthropology, but also to his works, thought, and life. The great advantage of the book is that it covers most every possible aspect of Kierkegaard's discourse on man. However, it seems that the book becomes in a way the proverbial victim of its own success-since to cover such a large amount material, it can only give scarce attention to some aspects of Kierkegaard's anthropology.
