Download or read book Kierkegaard and the Treachery of Love written by Amy Laura Hall and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-08-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This major study of Kierkegaard and love explores Kierkegaard's description of love's treachery, difficulty, and hope. It reads his Works of Love as a text that both deciphers and complicates the central books in his pseudonymous canon: Fear and Trembling, Repetition, Either/Or and Stages on Life's Way. Amy Laura Hall argues that a spiritual void brings each text into being, and her interpretation is as much about faith as about love. Her scholarly and lyrical style makes this study a poetic contribution to ethics and the philosophy of religion.
