Sommario/riassunto

Patrick Stokes explores Kierkegaard's understanding of selfhood by situating his work in relation to central problems in contemporary philosophy of personal identity. By bringing his thought into dialogue with major living and recent philosophers, Stokes reveals the lasting contribution that Kierkegaard made to the study of self and identity.
