This book is about the latter. It is a book about death: how death interrupts and influences the reflection on the self. It is a book about God: a detailed and critical discussion on how Kierkegaard and Derrida apply the concept of God in their philosophical reflections. \u003cbr\u003eThe most ground-breaking analysis concerns the famous passage on the self (A.A) in \u003cem\u003eThe Sickness unto Death\u003c\/em\u003e, where the author combines logical, rhetorical and dialectical means to establish a new perspective on Kierkegaard's thinking in general.

The significance of this responsibility, of this other, of this death, requires sustained and thorough consideration. Where others mark a conclusion, this book therefore marks a point of departure: reflecting on oneself at the graveside of a dead man - thus introducing an \u003cem\u003eAutopsia\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"de Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46887677198487,"sku":"9783110191288","price":22003.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783110191288.webp?v=1770256936","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/autopsia-self-death-and-god-after-kierkegaard-and-derrida-9783110191288","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
