How To Read Kierkegaard

John D. Caputo

A Bridge of Ideas

Both books, despite their differing domains, reveal a shared dedication to illuminating human experience through periods of intense intellectual and societal flux. Your appreciation for Kierkegaard through Caputo suggests you’re drawn to the individual’s struggle for meaning amidst existential doubt, a quest that subtly echoes the very human drive for innovation and breakthroughs you explored in Grayling’s 'The Age of Genius'.
