KIERKEGAARD: ANXIETY, REPETITION AND CONTEMPORANEITY

"Drawing on a wide range of writings, this original work offers a novel way of approaching the concepts of the fall, repetition and freedom. More specifically, it explores the interrelationship between the notions of the fall, repetition and, freedom focusing primarily on the writings of Kierkegaard an secondarily on those of Kant, St. Augustine and Schelling. Pivotal to this project is a reinterpretation of Kierkegaard's notion of 'taking notice' and its elevation to the status of a central principle with the aid of which various conceptualisations of freedom, repetition and the fall become accessible."--BOOK JACKET.
