His influence on French thought is examined anew with regard to well-known thinkers like Jean-Paul Sartre, Jacques Derrida, and Paul Ricoeur, as well as readings that have largely been overlooked, like those by Simone de Beauvoir and Vladimir Jankélévitch. From existentialism and phenomenology to poststructuralism and feminism, Kierkegaard continues to be an essential interlocutor in shaping the 'continental' tradition of thought in France.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e There is a natural affinity between Kierkegaard's uniquely intense, subjectively-involved metaphysical realism and the French spiritualist tradition which eschews both idealism and reductive empiricism. This book brings out that affinity and displays it in all the variety of its manifestations, both religious and secular, both speculative and existentialist. An indispensable and monumental entry for scholars and intriguing read for a wider audience.\u003cbr\u003e --Catherine Pickstock, Norris-Hulse Professor of Divinity, University of Cambridge\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e As this outstanding collection shows, Kierkegaard's French readers have produced a series of brilliant insights that extend and challenge the interpretation of his work, often thinking 'with' Kierkegaard as much as 'about' him. This is a state-of-the-art volume that will also provide a valuable resource for students at all levels for many years to come.\u003cbr\u003e --George Pattison, University of Glasgow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hjördis Becker-Lindenthal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/06\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e New Research in the History of Western Philosophy #10\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004727847","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46858631184521,"sku":"9789004727847","price":173.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_8dbe785d-e0aa-498f-916e-94927a798874.jpg?v=1780983191","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/kierkegaard-in-france-a-history-of-reception-and-influence-9789004727847","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
