Johannes Climacus, S??ren Kierkegaard's pseudonymous author of                  Philosophical Fragments, "invents" a religion suspiciously resembling Christianity                  as an alternative to the assumption that humans possess the Truth within themselves.                  Through this literary device, Climacus raises in a fresh and audacious way age-old                  questions about the relation of Christian faith to human reason. Is the idea of a                  human incarnation of God logically coherent? Is religious faith the product of a                  voluntary choice? In a comprehensive discussion of one of Kierkegaard's most                  important books, C. Stephen Evans elucidates Kierkegaard's novel explanation that                  the tension between faith and reason must be understood as a consequence of the                  passionate character of reason itself. Passionate Reason situates Kierkegaard's                  philosophy in the context of postmodern religious thought, providing a contemporary                  reading of Fragments as a challenge to both the modern Enlightenment critique of                  reason and the postmodern abandonment of truth.
