This volume places Kierkegaard in context of classical German philosophy. By demonstrating multiple connections, the authors make clear that Kierkegaard regarded himself as belonging to Kant’s legacy of a “revolutionary way of thinking,” with which he shared a common, if contentious, orientation. The studies provide a more differentiated view of Kierkegaard’s relationship with this philosophical tradition than suggested by conventional wisdom.
