Poetry and Heroism

Philosophy

“Once again Richard McCombs refreshes our understanding of Kierkegaard and unearths new levels of how the great thinker's work is relevant today. As opposed to scholars who reveal how Kierkegaard intends to disturb readers into a sense of anxiety, despair, and the sufferings of religious life, McCombs depicts a Kierkegaard who gives us hope, possibility, even the potential for everyday heroism, all without sacrificing the integrity of self-awareness or a passion for truth.”
