Kierkegaard's Philosophical Fragments

Søren Kierkegaard's Philosophical Fragments remains one of the most insightful yet idiosyncratic works in Christian theology. Writing under the pseudonym Johannes Climacus he seeks to answer the question 'can the truth be learned?' The truth in question is that of faith and in answering the question Climacus invents a solution that incidentally resembles Christianity, explaining how the truth can only be brought by God and accepted by a learner who is transformed by grace. Alluding to Socrates, this concise work offers a radical alternative to the views of Kierkegaard's contemporaries on such central topics as the person and work of Christ, the nature of faith and the possibility of religious knowledge.
