Description
Book Synopsis
Crossing the boundaries of philosophy, theology, psychology, and literature, the Danish writer Soren Kierkegaard is regarded as one of the most significant and influential figures in contemporary thought. In Kierkegaard's view, faith is the most essential task of life. Faith is not a matter of dogmatic adherence, but rather of subjective passion. In Purity of Heart, Kierkegaard discusses different aspects of living, particularly the responsibility of single-minded spiritual seeking and ethical integrity, offering clues to the nature of the good while insisting that each reader must work this out for themselves.
From the Back Cover
'To read this book with care is to know oneself pursued by 'The Hound of Heaven.' 'Purity of Heart' is one of many books in which Kierkegaard sought to rescue the individual from 'massification' by compelling him to stand alone before God.' Howard A. Johnson in The Review of Religion'Additional product information and recommendations
