Excellent edition of "In Our Time today" on Kierkegaard http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/inourtime/inourtime_20080320.shtml
[QUOTE] It's also fascinating that he saw the two great teachers, Socrates and Jesus Christ, as eschewing the same paradoxical path towards truth. It is open to speculation what he would have thought of the influence he had on the atheistic Jean-Paul Sartre. But it always came back to Christianity. Kierkegaard knew that it did not make sense. It was a challenge to reason and that was the magnetic mystery of it because there was, undoubtedly, truth in it. It's an awful pity that Dawkins could not have been around then. Perhaps even more of a pity that Kierkegaard could not be around now.
