Kierkegaard's Theological Sociology

Mehr zum Buch

Kierkegaard's unique approach to sociology in the 1840s combines theological concepts with social analysis, focusing on worship, sin, and faith. He offers a deep examination of Golden Age Denmark's urban life and critiques modernity's issues like consumerism and distraction. The book argues that contemporary society mirrors the "present age" Kierkegaard described, suggesting that his insights provide a richer understanding of human social existence than traditional materialist sociology. It advocates for a revival of theological perspectives to inform modern social theory.
