Description
George Pattison’s Heidegger and Kierkegaard offers a comprehensive analysis of the philosophical relationship between Martin Heidegger and Søren Kierkegaard, two seminal figures in existential thought. The book traces how Kierkegaard’s groundbreaking work on subjectivity, anxiety, and authentic existence profoundly shaped Heidegger’s ontological project and phenomenological methodology.
Pattison demonstrates the ways in which Kierkegaard’s existential insights—particularly regarding the individual’s confrontation with freedom and the concept of the absurd—become foundational to Heidegger’s Being and Time. The volume explores their shared preoccupation with authenticity, temporality, and the structures of human existence.
Part of the Elements in the Philosophy of Martin Heidegger series, this work provides philosophers, students, and scholars with essential insights into how nineteenth-century existentialism informed twentieth-century phenomenology, making it invaluable for understanding the genealogy of modern continental philosophy.
