Heidegger and Kierkegaard

af George (St Andrew’s and Copenhagen Universities) Pattison

After setting out the context of Heidegger's reception of the Danish thinker and examining his likely knowledge of his writings, this Element examines key Kierkegaardian concepts that are explicitly present in Being and Time, including existence, 'idle talk' (Gerede), anxiety, the moment of vision, repetition, and the significance of death.
