Synopsis "The Lily of the Field and the Bird of the Air: Three Godly Discourses "

A masterful new translation of one of Kierkegaard's most engaging works In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells his followers to let go of earthly concerns by considering the lilies of the field and the birds of the air. S ren Kierkegaard's short masterpiece on this famous gospel passage draws out its vital lessons for readers in a rapidly modernizing and secularizing world. Trenchant, brilliant, and written in stunningly lucid prose, The Lily of the Field and the Bird of the Air (1849) is one of Kierkegaard's most important books. Presented here in a fresh new translation with an informative introduction, this profound yet accessible work serves as an ideal entrée to an essential modern thinker. The Lily of the Field and the Bird of the Air reveals a less familiar but deeply appealing side of the father of existentialism--unshorn of his complexity and subtlety, yet supremely approachable. As Kierkegaard later wrote of the book, "Without fighting with anybody and without speaking about myself, I said much of what needs to be said, but movingly, mildly, upliftingly." This masterful edition introduces one of Kierkegaard's most engaging and inspiring works to a new generation of readers.

Søren Aabye Kierkegaard (Copenhague, 1813-1855) fue un filósofo, teólogo y escritor danés considerado el padre del existencialismo. Su obra se centra en la angustia, la libertad, la fe y la paradoja de la existencia humana, explorando siempre la relación entre el individuo y Dios. En Temor y temblor, uno de sus textos más influyentes, reflexiona sobre la figura bíblica de Abraham y el sacrificio de Isaac, planteando la tensión entre la ética universal y el deber religioso individual, una paradoja que muestra los límites de la razón frente a la fe.

Kierkegaard escribió bajo múltiples seudónimos, lo que le permitió desplegar diferentes estilos y perspectivas en sus libros. Sus reflexiones fueron poco comprendidas en su tiempo, pero hoy son referencia indispensable en la filosofía moderna, la teología y la literatura. Sus ideas han influido en autores como Jean-Paul Sartre, Martin Heidegger y Simone de Beauvoir, consolidando su papel como pionero de la filosofía existencial.
