Böcker av Edward F. Mooney

"A literary and philosophical exploration of Thoreau as a prose-poet and religious adept who carries us into fresh and unexpected communion with landscape, seascape, open sky, and what he calls "the unfathomable.""--

An evocative guide through Kierkegaard's major themes of fragility, faith, birth, and death.

Offers a critique of rationalism in contemporary American thought by recovering a lost tradition of intimacy in the writings of Thoreau, Bugbee, James, Arendt, Dickinson, Fuller, Wilshire and Cavell. This title focuses on a number of American philosophers whose work overlaps the religious and the literary.

Tracing a path through Soren Kierkegaard's writings, this book brings the reader into contact with the texts and purposes of this 19th century Danish writer and thinker.
