The work of Soren Kierkegaard (1813–1855) has recently been the subject of new interpretations. Alasdair MacIntyre argues that the prolific Dane’s notion of ethics implies an arbitrary leap of faith. In this lively forum, scholars respond to MacIntyre and further explore his ideas.

Synopsis
The 1990s saw a revival of interest in Kierkegaard's thought, affecting the fields of theology, social theory, and literary and cultural criticism. The resulting discussions have done much to discredit the earlier misreadings of Kierkegaard's works. This collection of essays by Kierkegaard scholars represents the new consensus on Kierkegaard and his conception of moral selfhood. It answers the charges of one of Kierkegaard's biggest critics, contemporary philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre, and shows how some of Kierkegaard's insights into tradition, virtuous character, and the human good may actually support MacIntyre's ideas. The contributors include Alasdair MacIntyre and Philip Quinn.
