Zusammenfassung: | Paul L. Holmer (1916-2004) was Professor of Philosophy at the University of Minnesota (1946-1960) and Noah Porter Professor of Philosophical Theology at Yale Divinity School (1960-1987). Among his many acomplishments, Holmer was one of the most significant American students of Kierkegaard of his generation. Although written in the 1950s and 1960s, Holmer's theological and philosophical engagement with Kierkegaard challenges much in the contemporary scholarly discussions of this important thinker. Unlike many, Holmer refuses reductionist readings that tie Kierkegaard to any particular "school." He likewise criticizes biographical readings of Kierkegaard, much in vogue recently, seeing Kierkegaard rather as an indirect communicator aiming at his reader's own ethical and religious capacities. Holmer also rejects popular existentialist readings of Kierkegaard, seeing him as an analyzer of concepts, while at the same time denying that he is a "crypto-analyst." Holmer criticizes the attempt to construe Kierkegaard as a didactic religious thinker, appreciating Kierkegaard's "cool" descriptive objectivity and his ironic and stylistic virtuosity. In his important reading of Kierkegaard on "truth," Holmer pits Kierkegaard against those who see "truth" empirically, idealistically, or relativistically. Holmer's carefully textured account of Kierkegaard's conceptual grammar of "truth" in ethical and religious contexts, fifty years after it was penned, addresses immediately current discussions of truth, meaning, reference, and realism versus antirealism, relativism, and hermeneutics. It will be of great interest to all interested in Kierkegaard and his importance for contemporary theology and philosophy |

PAUL L. HOLMER (1916-2004) WAS
PROFESSOR
OF PHILOSOPHY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA (1946-1960)
AND NOAH PORTER
PROFESSOR
OF PHILOSOPHICAL THEOLOGY AT YALE
DIVINITY
SCHOOL (1960-1987). AMONG HIS
MANY ACOMPLISHMENTS, HOLMER WAS ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT AMERICAN
STUDENTS
OF KIERKEGAARD OF HIS
GENERATION.
ALTHOUGH
WRITTEN IN THE
1950S
AND 1960S, HOLMER S THEOLOGICAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL
ENGAGEMENT
WITH
KIERKEGAARD
CHALLENGES
MUCH IN THE CONTEMPORARY SCHOLARLY
DISCUSSIONS
OF THIS IMPORTANT THINKER.
UNLIKE
MANY, HOLMER
REFUSES
REDUCTIONIST
READINGS
THAT TIE KIERKEGAARD TO ANY PARTICULAR SCHOOL. HE
LIKEWISE
CRITICIZES BIOGRAPHICAL
READINGS
OF KIERKEGAARD, MUCH IN VOGUE RECENTLY,
SEEING
KIERKEGAARD RATHER
AS AN INDIRECT COMMUNICATOR AIMING AT HIS
READER S
OWN ETHICAL AND RELIGIOUS CAPACITIES. HOLMER
ALSO
REJECTS
POPULAR EXISTENTIALIST
READINGS
OF KIERKEGAARD,
SEEING
HIM AS AN ANALYZER OF
CONCEPTS,
WHILE AT THE
SAME
TIME DENYING THAT HE IS A CRYPTO-ANALYST. HOLMER CRITICIZES THE
ATTEMPT TO
CONSTRUE
KIERKEGAARD AS
A DIDACTIC RELIGIOUS THINKER, APPRECIATING KIERKEGAARD S COOL
DESCRIPTIVE OBJECTIVITY AND HIS IRONIC AND
STYLISTIC
VIRTUOSITY. IN HIS IMPORTANT READING OF KIERKEGAARD ON TRUTH, HOLMER
PITS KIERKEGAARD
AGAINST
THOSE
WHO SEE TRUTH EMPIRICALLY, IDEALISTICALLY, OR
RELATIVISTICALLY.
HOLMER S CAREFULLY TEXTURED ACCOUNT OF
KIERKEGAARD S CONCEPTUAL GRAMMAR OF TRUTH IN ETHICAL AND RELIGIOUS
CONTEXTS,
FIFTY
YEARS
AFTER IT WAS
PENNED,
ADDRESSES
IMMEDIATELY CURRENT
DISCUSSIONS
OF TRUTH, MEANING,
REFERENCE,
AND REALISM
VERSUS
ANTIREALISM,
RELATIVISM,
AND HERMENEUTICS. IT
WILL
BE OF
GREAT
INTEREST TO ALL INTERESTED IN KIERKEGAARD AND HIS
IMPORTANCE FOR CONTEMPORARY THEOLOGY AND PHILOSOPHY.
THIS
IS THE
FIRST
VOLUME OF THE
PAUL
L.
HOLMER
PAPERS,
WHIC H INCLUDES
ALSO
VOLUME 2, THINKING THE
FAITH
WITH
PASSION:
SELECTED
ESSAYS,
AND VOLUME 3, COMMUNICATING THE
FAITH
INDIRECTLY: SELECTED SERMONS,
ADDRESSES,
AND
PRAYERS.
PAUL L. HOLMER WAS AND IS
STILL
A LARGELY UNHERALDED KIERKEGAARD SCHOLAR AND ANALYTIC PHILOSOPHER. THIS
VOLUME AND THE COLLECTED WORKS
SERIES
IT INTRODUCES SHOULD DO A LOT TO CORRECT THAT OVERSIGHT IN BOTH FIELDS.
WE OWE THE EDITORS, BOTH OF WHOM WERE HOLMER S
STUDENTS,
A
GREAT
DEAL OF
THANKS
FOR THEIR LABOR OF
LOVE.
*ROBERT L. PERKINS,

UNIVERSITY
PAUL HOLMER WAS ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING AND ORIGINAL RELIGIOUS
THINKERS IN MID-TWENTIETH-CENTURY
AMERICA,
YET HE IS
LITTLE
KNOWN TODAY. SOREN KIERKEGAARD WAS HIS CENTRAL SCHOLARLY INTEREST AND
HIS UNUSUAL
AND PROVOCATIVE READING OF KIERKEGAARD IS IMPORTANT.

PROFESSOR
PAUL
L.
HOLMER WAS THE DOYEN OF KIERKEGAARD
STUDIES
FOR MUCH OF THE LATER PART OF THE TWENTIETH

EARNEST...

Unlike many, Holmer refuses reductionist readings that tie Kierkegaard to any particular "school." He likewise criticizes biographical readings of Kierkegaard, much in vogue recently, seeing Kierkegaard rather as an indirect communicator aiming at his reader's own ethical and religious capacities. Holmer also rejects popular existentialist readings of Kierkegaard, seeing him as an analyzer of concepts, while at the same time denying that he is a "crypto-analyst." Holmer criticizes the attempt to construe Kierkegaard as a didactic religious thinker, appreciating Kierkegaard's "cool" descriptive objectivity and his ironic and stylistic virtuosity. In his important reading of Kierkegaard on "truth," Holmer pits Kierkegaard against those who see "truth" empirically, idealistically, or relativistically. Holmer's carefully textured account of Kierkegaard's conceptual grammar of "truth" in ethical and religious contexts, fifty years after it was penned, addresses immediately current discussions of truth, meaning, reference, and realism versus antirealism, relativism, and hermeneutics. It will be of great interest to all interested in Kierkegaard and his importance for contemporary theology and philosophy Kierkegaard, Søren / 1813-1855 / Ethics Kierkegaard, Søren 1813-1855 (DE-588)118562002 gnd rswk-swf Wahrheit (DE-588)4064314-1 gnd rswk-swf Philosophische Theologie (DE-588)4207262-1 gnd rswk-swf Kierkegaard, Søren 1813-1855 (DE-588)118562002 p Wahrheit (DE-588)4064314-1 s Philosophische Theologie (DE-588)4207262-1 s DE-604 Gouwens, David J.
