Kierkegaard on Consumerism (The Aesthetic, the Ethical, and
the Religious Reading) by the Macedonian author, Jasna
Koteska, consists of three essays about consumerism in the works of the Danish
philosopher Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855), most notably in his book Repetition (1843). Each of the essays
deals with the three stages of life according to Kierkegaard: the aesthetic,
the ethical and the religious. There are few books about Kierkegaard and
economics, and even fewer on Kierkegaard’s views about consumerism. This book is
intended to fulfill that gap. Kierkegaard witnessed the beginnings of modernity
and although he did not write about the capitalist issues, his greatest
contribution to economics,besides his contributions to human psyche and
religion, was his elaboration on the importance of individual choices and
decisions, as he strongly disagreed with the modern view that humans crave only
agitation and desiring.
