Kierkegaard on Politics

Zusatztext “The most admirable about Kierkegaard on Politics is the attempt from Stocker to try and argue for something original in contrast to existing works. … Kierkegaard’s religious writings concerning the Absolute are used in an interesting way concerning politics. The book contains many interesting passages, and each essay is neatly demarcated from the other, and original and uniquely personal in its own way.” (Roel Wolters, History of Philosophy & Logical Analysis, Vol. 27, 2024) Informationen zum Autor Barry Stocker teaches philosophy at Istanbul Technical University, Turkey, and is an Honorary Research Associate at the Department of Philosophy, University College London, UK.
