This new way of reading Kierkegaard stands alongside a revival of interest in ontology and metaphysics more generally. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis highly original book concentrates on the claim that Kierkegaard focuses in part on ontological questions and on issues pertaining to the nature of being as a whole. Alison Assiter asserts that Being, for Kierkegaard, following Schelling, can be read in terms of conceptions of birthing--the capacity to give birth as well as the notion of a birthing body. She goes on to argue that the story offered by Kierkegaard in The Concept of Anxiety about the origin of freedom connects with a birthing body, and that Kierkegaard offers a speculative hypothesis, in terms of metaphors of birthing, about the nature of Being.","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47813354717335,"sku":"9781783483259","price":6364.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781783483259.webp?v=1778335379","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/kierkegaard-eve-and-metaphors-of-birth-9781783483259","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
