This book is an original philosophic exploration of the meaning of Kierkegaard’s life, his thought, and his works. It makes a bold case for Kierkegaard’s recognition of the concrete existence of the individual, including Kierkegaard himself, as crucial to the spiritual life. Written with delicate insight, and beautifully translated from Hebrew, this work offers valuable new turns to understanding the puzzling life-work of a modern giant of spiritual reflection.

”very sound …Kierkegaard’s philosophy, he argues convincingly, sways between the hope of overcoming alienation (despair, anxiety, self-denial) by creating unity and harmony (marriage, repetition, faith), and readopting the experience of alienation as the ultimate meaning of existence, as an unbridgeable gap.” in: Tijdschrift voor Filosofie, 67/2005
