Abstract

Of worshipers, expositors, scholars, translators, defenders and detractors Kierkegaard suffers no lack. Less forthcoming is the kind of reader he calls "my reader," one whose thought-mood reduplicates Kierkegaard's own, a "dialectician" and "poet" whose basic posture is less a professor's than that of a reflective human being, primitively attuned to the issues of faith and selfhood.
