Ebook: Salto mortale: Deklinationen des Glaubens bei Kierkegaard

A salto mortale is far more than just a leap, as Kierkegaard well understood, along with Jacobi his mentor in matters of metaphor. This metaphor is used as an image of faith. However, researchers often speak only of a “leap of faith,” thereby interchanging the two motions/metaphors. Compared to a leap of faith, the salto mortale suggest a far more complex notion of God, man, and religious commitment.
