The last decade has seen a revival of interest in Kierkegaard's thought,
particularly in the fields of theology, social theory, and literary and
cultural criticism. The resulting discussions have done much to
discredit the earlier misreadings of Kierkegaard's works. This
collection of essays by Kierkegaard scholars represents the new
consensus on Kierkegaard and his conception of moral selfhood. It
answers the charges of one of Kierkegaard's biggest critics,
contemporary philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre, and shows how some of
Kierkegaard's insights into tradition, virtuous character, and the human
good may actually support MacIntyre's ideas.
