And what is it to be a Christian? Casey Spinks suggests these two questions belong together when readers attend to Kierkegaard’s authorship, and such attention calls for the task of uncovering Kierkegaard’s fundamental ontology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book argues that the heart of that ontology is to be found in the religious discourses of his Second Authorship. Using the devotional discourse \u003ci\u003eThe Lily of the Field and the Bird of the Air\u003c\/i\u003e as his guide, Spinks argues that Kierkegaard offers a distinct Christian sense of being: faith. In particular, in his Second Authorship, he moves from irony to earnestness and identifies silence, obedience, and joy as ontologically significant categories. This Christian ontology fundamentally opposes the rationalist ontology of G.W.F. Hegel—as well as any other philosophical ontology based on autonomous reason or human subjectivity. As a result, Kierkegaard proves to be a unique Christian figure in the history of Western metaphysics, one with forceful relevance to contemporary questions of first philosophy and first theology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PTY Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47397885935852,"sku":"9781666981926","price":356.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/c15e12ec6f4adae12285891a3afb2946.jpg?v=1773777445"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/series-new-kierkegaard-research.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
