Summary

"Examining what Kierkegaard has to say about the meaning of life requires looking at his conception of "subjective truth," as well as how he understands the ancient ideal of "amor fati," a notion that Nietzsche would subsequently take up, but that Kierkegaard understands in a manner that is distinctly his own"-- Provided by publisher.
