Description
Summary:Kierkegaard's account of the life of faith claims that a person living faithfully continually enjoys, and takes part in, everything. What can this mean? Sheridan Hough imagines how such a person might look: 'just like a tax collector'. He embarks on an 'existential-phenomenological' investigation of the faithful life through an analysis of Kierkegaard's 'spheres of existence', each revealing a specific kind of significance, and a way of 'being in the world'. Hough examines Kierkegaard's ontology from the perspective of his pseudonymous voices, and from the characters they create.
