| Summary |
This account of Kierkegaard's ethical views sees him against the backdrop of nineteenth-century European society but shows the relevance of his thought for the twenty-first century. His view of morality as grounded in God's command to love our neighbours as ourselves has clear advantages over contemporary secular rivals |
