Philosopher of the Heart: The Restless Life of Søren Kierkegaard
by Claire Carlisle
“Another interesting philosophical biography about an important figure published this year.”
“There is another biography that came out this year that I wanted to mention in passing too. This was Clare Carlisle’s biography of Kierkegaard, Philosopher of the Heart. It’s very different in style—more poetic and more experimental. In a sense, she was trying to be a Kierkegaardian as she wrote about Kierkegaard. That was another interesting philosophical biography about an important figure published this year.” — Nigel Warburton on the Best Philosophy Books of 2019.
