Item Number: 130987 Title: Kierkegaard, Aesthetics, and Selfhood : The Art of Subjectivity Author: Jothen, Peter Price: Not Available ISBN: 9781409470168 Description: Farnham: Ashgate, 2014. 24cm., hardcover, 262pp. Summary: 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. Seeing human formation as interrelated with aesthetics makes art a vital dimension of human existence. Contributing to the debate about Kierkegaard's conception of the aesthetic, Kierkegaard, Aesthetics, and Selfhood argues that Kierkegaard's primary concern is to provocatively explore how a self becomes Christian, with aesthetics being a vital dimension for such self-formation. At a broader level, Peder Jothen also focuses on the role, authority, and meaning of aesthetic expression within religious thought generally and Christianity in particular. Contents: Preface; Introduction; Kierkegaard’s ambiguous aesthetics; Becoming Christian; Christ and the art of subjective becoming; Mimesis, aesthetics and Christian becoming; Becoming amidst the existence stages; Becoming and art.
