Acknowledgments; Abbreviations; Introduction; 1. Knights and Knaves of the Living Dead: Kierkegaard's Use of Living Death as a Metaphor for Despair; 2. To Die and Yet Not Die: Kierkegaard's Theophany of Death; 3. Christian Hate: Death, Dying, and Reason in Pascal and Kierkegaard; 4. Suicide and Despair; 5. Thinking Death into Every Moment: The Existence-Problem of Dying in Kierkegaard's Postscript; 6. Death and Ethics in Kierkegaard's Postscript; 7. The Intimate Agency of Death; 8.A Critical Perspective on Kierkegaard's "At a Graveside."
Few philosophers have devoted such sustained, almost obsessive attention to the topic of death as Søren Kierkegaard. Kierkegaard and Death brings together new work on Kierkegaard's multifaceted discussions of death and provides a thorough guide to the development, in various texts and contexts, of Kierkegaard's ideas concerning death. Essays by an international group of scholars take up essential topics such as dying to the world, living death, immortality, suicide, mortality and subjectivity, death and the meaning of life, remembrance of the dead, and the question of the afterlife.
