- Title
Why Kierkegaard in Particular?
- Authors
Hannay, Alastair
- Abstract
The first meeting with Kierkegaard can determine what, and how much of oneself, one finds in the texts. I outline my own first encounter and the way in which first impressions later changed. Accepting that Kierkegaard is a current resource for philosophers, I prefer to see his contribution to philosophy in terms of a byproduct of his pursuit of a paraphilosophical goal. KierkegaardÌs writings demonstrate an existential factor that is inseparable from philosophy but which, once uncovered, testifies to its inherent limitation.
