Kierkegaard's and Heidegger's Analysis of Existence and its Relation to Proclamation by K Lgstrup
In Kierkegaard's and Heidegger's Analysis of Existence and its Relation to Proclamation (1950), Lgstrup offers an original critique of these key thinkers. Arguing against their idea that 'life in the crowd' threatens individuality, he proposes an ethic beyond social rules: a requirement to care for a person whose life is placed in your hands.
In January 1950, the Danish philosopher and theologian KE. Løgstrup delivered a series of lectures at the Freie University in West Berlin. Originally published in German at the time, and now here appearing in English as part of a four-volume series of his key works translated by Robert Stern and others, the result is one of the finest comparative studies of Kierkegaard and Heidegger ever written. There is the old adage about Løgstrup which works engaging him inevitably reference when observing his importance to Denmark but relative obscurity elsewhere: verdensberømt i Denmark ("world-famous in Denmark"). No longer! With this eminently readable English translation from Robert Stern and colleagues, the long overdue reception of one of the twentieth century's great thinkers has finally begun. * Steven DeLay, Old Member, Christ Church, Oxford, The Review of Metaphysics *
Robert Stern is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Sheffield, where he has worked since 1989. He was previously a student and then Junior Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge.
