ISBN: 9780810131316 出版年：2015 页码：207 Mccarthy, Vincent A Northwestern University Press

Kierkegaard psychological thought has always been acknowledged as very rich鈥擱einhold Niebuhr hailed him as the greatest psychologist of the soul since Augustine鈥攁nd has had a major influence on Heidegger, Sartre, and existential psychoanalysis. Nevertheless, his accomplishment has not always been fully appreciated, in part because it is so scattered across his works. As Vincent McCarthy demonstrates in Kierkegaard as Psychologist, Kierkegaard was pursuing 鈥減sychology鈥?before there was a formally recognized academic field bearing that name, and a coherent thread runs through the so-called pseudonymous works. McCarthy elucidates often-difficult texts, highlights the rich psychological dimension of Kierkegaard thought, and provides an introduction for the nonspecialist and a commentary on Kierkegaard psychology that will interest both specialists and nonspecialists, while engaging in rich comparisons with such figures as Freud and Heidegger.
