Overview
In the digital world, Kierkegaard's thought is valuable in thinking about aesthetics as a component of human development, both including but moving beyond the religious context as its primary center of meaning. Contributing to the debate about Kierkegaard's conception of the aesthetic, this book argues that Kierkegaard's concern is provocatively to explore how a self becomes Christian, with aesthetics a dimension of such self-formation. At a broader level, Jothen also focuses on the role, authority and meaning of art within religious thought generally and Christianity in particular.
