Peter Drucker先生的存在的維度: Soren Kierkegaard 齊克果
One
of the most knowledgable and also influential management theorists, the
famouis, late Peter Drucker, had a few sentences as follows, which
revealed his true diciplines: a multiple-diciplined philosopher:
For Kiekegaard, human existence is possible only in tension--in tension
between man's simultaneous life as an individual in the spirit and as a
citizen in society.
Søren Kierkegaard's 200th birthday has been virtually marked with a Google doodle today.
The
Danish philosopher - who died in November 1855 aged 42 - is widely
considered as the first existentialist philosopher, with many of his
works focusing on how life should be lived as a "single individual".
Consequently, his work often highlighted the importance of personal choice and commitment and of 'truth as subjectivity'.
The Google doodle depicts six characters - five of whom are holding outsized quills - spelling out the search engine giant's name.
Two figures each have an arm outstretched, bent at the elbow, and have
their heads held up as if contemplating something other than their task.
One of the characters also seems to be addressing the sixth figure, standing slightly away, who does not hold a quill.
Kierkegaard, who was raised as a Lutheran, gained
considerable fame for his work in the 1930s and has had an enduring
influence on subsequent generations of philosophers and writers.
Just
some of the artists was have been inspired and influenced by
Kierkegaard's notions of angst, despair and the importance of the
individual include Albert Camus, Simone de Beauvoir, Jean-Paul Sartre,
W.H Auden, Don DeLillo, Franz Kafka, J.D Salinger and Malcolm
Muggeridge.
A Short Life of Kierkegaard is a book by Walter Lowrie, the first edition was published in 1938 by Oxford University Press simply under the title Kierkegaard. The book is notable and influential for being the first English language biography which covers both wider and lesser known areas of Søren Kierkegaard's life, philosophy, and theology. Lowrie was commissioned by the editor of Oxford University PressCharles Williams
to write the biography and to translate into English for the first time
several of Kierkegaard's seminal works in full, including Either/Or and Philosophical Fragments.[1]
Literary reception
Some of the book's biographical and philosophical details, despite
the best available information at the time, are now known to be false,
yet Lowrie's examination is sympathetic, as indeed are his translations
of Kierkegaard. The reviews of the book enthused about Kierkegaard as a
proponent of the individual's worth in the midst of alienation intrinsic
to 20th century mass society.[1]
