Kierkegaard and Kant on Radical Evil and the Highest Good

Kierkegaard and Kant on Radical Evil and the Highest Good is a major study of Kierkegaard's relation to Kant that gives a comprehensive account of radical evil and the highest good, two controversial doctrines with important consequences for ethics and religion.

In this eleven-chapter monograph, Fremstedal offers a fresh contribution to the growing scholarship on the comparative religious thought of Søren Kierkegaard and Immanuel Kant that will also appeal to philosophers of religion. (Erik M. Hanson, Religious Studies Review, Vol. 42 (4), December, 2016)
