{"product_id":"kierkegaard-for-beginners","title":"KIERKEGAARD FOR BEGINNERS","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Danish Philosopher Soren Kierkegaard was one of the most original thinkers of the nineteenth century and one of the most enigmatic men who ever walked the earth. Philosophically, Kierkegaard was the bridge that led from Hegel to Existentialism. Kierkegaard abhorred Hegels abstract, know-it-all idealism that tried to capture reality in a few words. Kierkegaards attack on social and religious complacency and his single-handed assault on traditional Western philosophy generated a crisis that produced a radically new way of philosophizing and made him the founder of the school that would later be called Existentialism. To Kiergegaard, reality was personal, subjective-it began and ended with the individual-and philosophy was not something one merely talked about, it was the way you lived. For such a brilliant thinker, the way Kierkegaard lived was...somewhat too interesting? His abstract love affair? His obsession with death? His leap of Faith, his cynicism, his marvelous sense of humour-how do you put all that into one man? For starter, you read Kierkegaard For Beginners. It explains, plainly and simply, the grat Danish thinkers obsession with the particularity of human existence as well as his demonstration of how the creation of an authentic new kind of individual is possible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orient Blackswan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45882388807878,"sku":"DADAX8125031693","price":142.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/519ECtdP84L.jpg?v=1779770825","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/kierkegaard-for-beginners","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
