Kant and Kierkegaard on Time and Eternity

Building on his earlier work, Ronald Green presents Kant as a major inspiration of Kierkegaard’s authorship. Green argues that Kant’s ethics provided the rigor on which Kierkegaard drew in developing his concept of sin. He maintains that the chief difference between Kant and Kierkegaard has to do with whether we need a historical savior to restore our broken moral wills.
