C. Stephen Evans provides a clear, readable introduction to Søren Kierkegaard (1813-55) as a philosopher and thinker. His 2009 book is organised around Kierkegaard''s concept of the three ''stages'' or ''spheres'' of human existence, which provide both a developmental account of the human self and an understanding of three rival views of human life and its meaning. Evans also discusses such important Kierkegaardian concepts as ''indirect communication'', ''truth as subjectivity'', and the Incarnation understood as ''the Absolute Paradox''.
