In Kierkegaard's Romantic Legacy, Anoop Gupta develops an original theory of the self-based on Kierkegaard's writings. Gupta proceeds by historical exegesis and considers several important ways of thinking about self- outside of the natural sciences. His study moves theories of the self from theology toward sociology, from a God-relationship to a social one, and illustrates how a loss in theological underpinnings partly contributes to the rise in the popularity of cultural relativism.

By drawing on Kierkegaard's writings, Gupta develops a metaphysical account of the self that provides an alternative to the idea that there is no such thing as human nature. Keywords: Kierkegaard; Philosophy; Theory of self; Metaphysics; Theology; Sociology.
