The Anti-Christianity of Kierkegaard [Book Review]

Review of Metaphysics 19 (1):151-151 (1965)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

Garelick, in this closely-argued presentation, maintains that although Johannes Climacus defines Christianity as irrational, he presents it not as an end in itself but as a means to the higher end, eternal happiness, "a choice which a reasonable man could accept." Climacus thus becomes "anti-Christian" in a twofold manner, by making Christianity reasonable and by making it a means. This book can be considered a welcome addition to Kierkegaard scholarship, even though the arguments for the final conclusion are not quite convincing.—A. E. J.
