Kierkegaard and Nietzsche: Faith and Eternal Acceptance (Library of Philosophy and Religion)

Examines the thinking of two 19th-century existential philosophers, focusing on the different ways each envisioned a joyful acceptance of life. Looks at how their contrasting visions connect to other areas of their thinking, especially regarding the place of religious belief and the part of morality in a fully realized life, and examines the presuppositions of each vision for our modern and postmodern world. For scholars and students in philosophy and theology, and for educated general readers. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
