A Vexing Gadfly de Eliseo Pérez-Álvarez

A Vexing Gadfly

Autor Eliseo Pérez-Álvarez
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 oct 2011
This essay on Soren Kierkegaard and economic matters from a theological perspective is well grounded in the Dane's journals. In these writings, the late nineteenth-century thinker shows his solidarity with rural residents and urbanite menial workers. Topics include the option for the poor and the ideology of impotence.

Recenzii

"Perez-Alvarez has made a significant contribution to Kierkegaardian scholarship, if for no other reason to spur us on to read the other 'hand' of Kierkegaard's incisive writings." Eric Austin Lee, University of Nottingham in: The Heythrop Journal, Vol. 53 (1), January 2012. 'Against the image of Kierkegaard as a bourgeois intellectual of independent means and idiosyncratic tastes, Perez-Alvarez portrays a man passionate about the poor, allying himself with the "ordinary man", and scathing in his attack on wealth and privilege. (...) Perez-Alvarez argues that Kierkegaard moved from a position of conventional conservatism, through a transitional period of increasing interest in economic affairs, and on to a final, thoroughgoing radicalisation of his socio-economic rhetoric. (...) it is an important contribution to Kierkegaardian scholarship, and will challenge many students of "the melancholy Dane" to think again.' The Rt Revd Dr Saxbee in Church Times, 28th September 2012. 'With this work, Eliseo-Perez-Alvarez has occupied an empty nook in Kierkegaard studies.' Bruce P. Baugus, Journal of Markets & Morality, Volume 15, Number 2 "This book would be of great value to those studying Kierkegaard's critique of Christendom, from social, political, economic, and philosophical or theological perspectives. [ - ] It offers an accessible, interesting, and thought-provoking account of one of the most famous thinkers of the nineteenth century, contextualized and yet still relevant today. [ - ] This refreshing and liberational reading of Kierkegaard rewards the reader." Victoria Davies, Reviews in Religion and Theology Vol.20 Issue 3. July 2013
