"In The Toils of Understanding, Husain Sarkar proposes to place Kierkegaard's account of how an individual is destroyed: what forms of corruption society can wreak on him; what, if anything, society can do to save him; and what, if anything, he can do to save society; and finally how what really saves the individual lies in the individual, for his being saved could not depend on the work of others - it could not be a secondhand gift from God.".
"The central theme is that understanding is essential if the individual and society are to be saved. On the way to various conclusions, The Toils of Understanding argues with a host of interpreters of Kierkegaard."--BOOK JACKET.
