The Politics of Exodus

Exploring the connections between Kierkegaard and Derrida, Mark Dooley presents a compelling argument that Kierkegaard's work reflects an "open quasi-community," challenging the view of him as an advocate of asocial individualism. Dooley posits that Kierkegaard's ideas are profoundly relevant to contemporary political thought, emphasizing the prophetic call for justice. This examination reshapes the understanding of Kierkegaard's influence on postmodern ethics and politics, making it essential for those interested in the intersections of religion, philosophy, and social responsibility.
