The Danish philosopher Kierkegaard is one o f the master thinkers of the modern age, a defining influence on existentialism and on twentieth-century theology, and this brilliantly tailored selection from his vast and varied writings is a perfect introduction to his work.

W.H. Auden, who was deeply influenced by Kierkegaard, made this selection by drawing on the full range of his published writings as well as on the private journals he m aintained throughout his life. Auden introduces the main themes of Kierkegaard's thought--his insis tence on the irreducible subjectivity of truth, his critique of scientific objectivi ty, his dramatic presentation of the aesthetic, ethical, and religious ways of life, his subtle psychological analysis of despair and its relation to faith--while also doing justice to the extraordinary variety, ranging from aphoristic concision to unb uttoned polemic, of his talents as a writer.

This celebrated book, to which Auden co ntributed an influential essay as an introduction, is not only a remarkable ant hology of the work of a central modern thinker but a meeting of two extraordinary mi nds.~
