A collection containing two shorts works by the Danish existentialist philosopher Søren Kierkegaard. 'This is the only formal statement by Kierkegaard of the historical setting of his mission. His analysis of the moral values of the social and political movements of his day offers remarkable parallels, as well as striking contrasts, with the work of Nietzsche, and his attitude has, in some respects, affinities with that of Dostoevsky. It is the one work in which Kierkegaard emerges from the isolation of his poetic and philosophic pattern' (dust jacket blurb).

'As a thinker Kierkegaard is generally considered to be, however eccentric, one of the most important Christian philosophers' (PMM).
