Sharon Krishek is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Philosophy Department at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
'… [Krishek's] analysis makes illuminating distinctions and in the
process introduces the reader to the most recent scholarship on
Works of Love. For these reasons, the book is worthwhile reading
for any Kierkegaard student or scholar.' M. Jamie Ferreira, Notre
Dame Philosophical Reviews
'It is surely no easy task to offer a significant new
interpretation of Kierkegaard's central concepts of faith and love,
and yet this is what one finds in Sharon Krishek's bold and
stimulating new study. Krishek's work is especially valuable for
its insights into Kierkegaard's overall philosophy of love, in
particular with her attempt to deal with thorny issues raised from
the lack of a univocal conception of love in Works of Love by
considering Fear and Trembling as a corrective. This is both
provocative and novel when one considers that it is sometimes the
reverse textual relationship that is seen to hold …' Michael
Strawser, Søren Kierkegaard Newsletter
'… we have a book by an avowed Kierkegaardian who is willing to
call her mentor's hand regarding the concept of love that he
developed in Works of Love. What makes this refreshing and unusual
is that Sharon Krishek (SK) presents us with a critique of
Kierkegaard's (SK's) view of love that is based on Kierkegaard's
view of faith.' Ronald L. Hall, International Journal for
Philosophy of Religion
'Sharon Krishek's Kierkegaard on Faith and Love argues that
romantic love is a central and abiding theme in Kierkegaard's
writings and of philosophical importance.' George Pattison, Journal
of European Philosophy
