C. Stephen Evans provides a clear, readable introduction to Søren
Kierkegaard (1813–55) as a philosopher and thinker. His book is
organised around Kierkegaard's concept of the three 'stages' or
'spheres' of human existence, which provide both a developmental
account of the human self and an understanding of three rival views of
human life and its meaning. Evans also discusses such important
Kierkegaardian concepts as 'indirect communication', 'truth as
subjectivity', and the Incarnation understood as 'the Absolute
Paradox'. Although his discussion emphasises the importance of
Christianity for understanding Kierkgaard, it shows him to be a writer
of great interest to a secular as well as a religious audience. Evans'
book brings Kierkegaard into conversation with western philosophers
past and present, presenting him as one who gives powerful answers to
the questions which philosophers ask.
