A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'...Holmer occupies an eminent place in the transmission of Kierkegaard s thought in twentieth century America. This book breathes renewed breadth and depth into that influence. [...] As Hauerwas concludes, this is not just another book 'about Kierkegaard''; rather, this is a book that forces us to read Kierkegaard as if our lives were at stake. In the process I think that you will find that the fear of God makes joy possible .' --Simon D. Podmore, in The Expository Times, Vol.125, No 3, December 2013

'...this too-brief summary cannot do justice to the complexities and depth of Holmer's reflective thoughts on Kierkegaard and truth [...] This volume would be very helpful for anyone interested in Kierkegaard's concept of truth, his means of communicating it, and perhaps also for those looking to bridge the continental-analytic rift'.' --Victoria Davies, Reviews in Religion and Theology, Vol.21, No.1, January 2014
'On Kierkegaard and the Truth [...] gives us a carefully argued and well written inquiry of Kierkegaard as a philosopher. [...] H.'s book is still an important book to read particularly because of the fruitful and for his time very innovative way that H. uses the later Ludwig Wittgenstein in H.'s interpretation of Kierkegaard's reorientation of thinking about religious, existential and ethical matters.' --Iben Damgaard, University of Copenhagen, in Theologische Literaturzeitung, No 139, Vol 2, February 2014

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Paul L. Holmer (1916-2004) was one of the most significant American students of Kierkegaard of his generation. Although written in the 1950s and 1960s, Holmer's theological and philosophical engagement with Kierkegaard challenges much contemporary scholarly discussion. Unlike many, Holmer refuses reductionist readings that tie Kierkegaard to any particular "school." In his important reading of Kierkegaard on "truth," he pits Kierkegaard against those who see "truth" empirically, idealistically, or relativistically. This carefully textured account of Kierkegaard's conceptual grammar of "truth" in ethical and religious contexts addresses current discussions of truth, meaning, reference, and realism versus antirealism, relativism, and hermeneutics. It will be of great importance to all interested in Kierkegaard and his importance for contemporary theology and philosophy.
