Book
Jon Stewarts groundbreaking study is a major reevaluation of the complexrelations between the philosophies of Kierkegaard and Hegel. The standard viewon the subject is that Kierkegaard defined himself as explicitly antiHegelianindeed that he viewed Hegels philosophy with disdain. Jon Stewart showsconvincingly that Kierkegaards criticism was not of Hegel but of a number ofcontemporary Danish Hegelians. Kierkegaards own view of Hegel was in fact muchmore positive to the point where he was directly influenced by some of Hegelswork. Any scholar working in the tradition of Continental philosophy will findthis an insightful and provocative book with implications for the subsequenthistory of philosophy in the twentieth century. The book will also appeal toscholars in religious studies and the history of ideas. «
