While Kierkegaard's use of the Greek authors, particularly Plato and Aristotle, has attracted considerable attention over the years, his use of the Roman authors has, by contrast, remained sadly neglected. This neglect is somewhat surprising given the fact that Kierkegaard was extremely well read in Latin from his early youth when he attended the Borgerdyd School in Copenhagen. Kierkegaard's interest in the Roman authors is perhaps best evidenced by his book collection. In his private library he had a long list of Latin titles and Danish translations of the standard Roman authors in any number of different genres. His extensive and frequent use of writers such as Cicero, Horace, Terence, Seneca, Suetonius and Ovid clearly warrants placing them in the select group of his major sources.

The chapters in this volume demonstrate that Kierkegaard made use of the Roman sources in a number of different ways. His readings from the Borgerdyd school seem to have stuck with him as an adult. He constantly refers to Roman authors, such as Livy, Nepos, and Suetonius for colourful stories and anecdotes. In addition, he avails himself of pregnant sayings or formulations from the Roman authors, when appropriate. But his use of these authors is not merely as a rhetorical source. He is also profoundly interested in the Roman philosophy of Cicero, Seneca and Marcus Aurelius. Similarly, just as he is fascinated by Tacitus' portrayal of the early Christians, so also he is amused by the humour of Terence and Apuleius. In short, the Roman authors serve to enrich any number of different aspects of Kierkegaard's authorship with respect to both content and form.

This volume features articles which employ source-work research to trace Kierkegaard's understanding and use of authors from the Patristic and Medieval traditions. It covers an extraordinarily long period of time from Cyprian and Tertullian in the second century to Thomas à Kempis in the fifteenth. Despite its heterogeneity and diversity in many aspects, this volume has a clear point of commonality in all its featured sources: Christianity.

Kierkegaard's relation to the Patristic and Medieval traditions has been a rather neglected area of research in Kierkegaard studies. This is somewhat surprising given the fact that the young Kierkegaard learned about the Patristic authors during his studies at the University of Copenhagen and was clearly fascinated by many aspects of their writings and the conceptions of Christian religiosity found there.

With regard to the medieval tradition, in addition to any number of theological issues, medieval mysticism, medieval art, the medieval church, troubadour poetry and the monastic movement were all themes that exercised Kierkegaard during different periods of his life.

Although far from uncritical, he seems at times to idolize both the Patristic tradition and the Middle Ages as contrastive terms to the corrupt and decadent modern world with its complacent Christianity. While he clearly regards the specific forms of this Medieval appropriation of Christianity to be misguided, he is nonetheless positively disposed toward the general understanding of it as something to be lived and realized by each individual.

The long period from the Renaissance to the nineteenth century supplied numerous sources for Kierkegaard's thought in any number of different fields. The present, rather heterogeneous volume covers the long period from the birth of Savonarola in 1452 through the beginning of the nineteenth century and into Kierkegaard's own time. The Danish thinker read authors representing vastly different traditions and time periods. Moreover, he also read a diverse range of genres. His interests concerned not just philosophy, theology and literature but also drama and music. The present volume consists of three tomes that are intended to cover Kierkegaard's sources in these different fields of thought.

Tome I is dedicated to the philosophers of the early modern period and the Enlightenment who played a role in shaping Kierkegaard's intellectual development. He was widely read in German and French philosophy of the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, making reference to the leading rationalist philosophers Descartes, Spinoza and Leibniz in his journals and published works. Further, connections have also been pointed out between his thought and the writings of the French thinkers Montaigne, Pascal and Rousseau, who share with Kierkegaard a form of philosophy that is more interested in life and existence than purely conceptual analysis. Through the works of the authors explored here Kierkegaard became acquainted with some of the major philosophical discussions of the modern era such as the beginning of philosophy, the role of doubt, the status of autonomy in ethics and religion, human freedom, the problem of the theodicy found in thinkers such as Bayle and Leibniz, and the problem of the relation of philosophy to religion as it appears in the German writers Jacobi and Lessing.

Tome II is dedicated to the wealth of theological and religious sources from the beginning of the Reformation to Kierkegaard's own day. It examines Kierkegaard's relations to some of the key figures of the Reformation period, from the Lutheran, Reformed and Catholic traditions. It thus explores Kierkegaard's reception of theologians and spiritual authors of various denominations, most of whom are known to history primarily for their exposition of practical spirituality rather than theological doctrine. Several of the figures investigated here are connected to the Protestant tradition of Pietism that Kierkegaard was familiar with from a very early stage. The main figures in this context include the "forefather" of Pietism Johann Arndt, the Reformed writer Gerhard Tersteegen, and the Danish author Hans Adolph Brorson. With regard to Catholicism, Kierkegaard was familiar with several popular figures of Catholic humanism, Post-Tridentine theology and Baroque spirituality, such as François Fénelon, Ludwig Blosius and Abraham a Sancta Clara. He was also able to find inspiration in highly controversial and original figures of the Renaissance and the early Modern period, such as Girolamo Savonarola or Jacob Böhme, the latter of whom was at the time an en vogue topic among trendsetting philosophers and theologians such as Hegel, Franz von Baader, Schelling and Hans Lassen Martensen.

Tome III covers the sources that are relevant for literature, drama and music. Kierkegaard was well read in the European literature of the seventeen and eighteenth century. He was captivated by the figure of Cervantes' Don Quixote, who is used as a model for humor and irony. He also enjoyed French literature, represented here by articles on Chateaubriand, Lamartine, and Mérimée. French dramatists were popular on the Danish stage, and Kierkegaard demonstrated an interest in, among others, Moliére and Scribe. Although he never possessed strong English skills, this did not prevent him from familiarizing himself with English literature, primarily with the help of German translations. While there is an established body of secondary material on Kierkegaard's relation to Shakespeare, little has been said about his use of the Irish dramatist Sheridan. It is obvious from, among other things, The Concept of Irony that Kierkegaard knew in detail the works of some of the main writers of the German Romantic movement. However, his use of the leading figures of the British Romantic movement, Byron and Shelley, remains largely unexplored terrain. The classic Danish authors of the eighteenth century, Holberg, Wessel and Ewald, were influential figures who prepared the way for the Golden Age of Danish poetry. Kierkegaard constantly refers to their dramatic characters, whom he often employs to illustrate a philosophical idea with a pregnant example or turn of phrase. Finally, while Kierkegaard is not an obvious name in musicology, his analysis of Mozart's Don Giovanni shows that he had a keen interest in music on many different levels.

This volume explores in detail Kierkegaard's various relations to his German contemporaries. Kierkegaard read German fluently and made extensive use of the writings of German-speaking authors. Apart from his contemporary Danish sources, the German sources were probably the most important in the development of his thought generally. This volume represents source-work research dedicated to tracing Kierkegaard's readings and use of the various German-speaking authors in the different fields.

The volume have been divided into three tomes reflecting Kierkegaard's main areas of interest with regard to the German-speaking sources, namely, philosophy, theology and a more loosely conceived category, which has here been designated "literature and aesthetics."

The first tome treats the German philosophical influences on Kierkegaard. The dependence of Danish philosophy on German philosophy is beyond question. In a book review in his Hegelian journal Perseus, the poet, playwright and critic, Johan Ludvig Heiberg (1791-1869) laments the sad state of philosophy in Denmark, while lauding German speculative philosophy. Moreover, Kierkegaard's lifelong enemy, the theologian Hans Lassen Martensen (1808-84) claims without exaggeration that the Danish systems of philosophy can be regarded as the "disjecta membra" of earlier German systems. All of the major German idealist philosophers made an impact in Denmark: Kant, Fichte, Schelling, and most significantly, Hegel. Kierkegaard was widely read in the German philosophical literature, which he made use of in countless ways throughout his authorship.

The second tome of the present volume is dedicated to Kierkegaard's main theological influences. In theology as well, the German and the Danish traditions had long been closely connected via their common source: Luther. In Kierkegaard's time the main influence on theology was probably German philosophy and specifically Hegelianism. Most all of the German theologians were in some way in a critical dialogue with this movement. Another important influence was Schleiermacher, who visited Copenhagen in 1833 and was important for several Golden Age thinkers. From his student days Kierkegaard kept abreast of the German theological literature, from which he drew much inspiration.

The third tome is dedicated to the German literary sources that were significant for Kierkegaard. These articles feature primarily important authors from German Classicism and Romanticism. Important forerunners for many of Kierkegaard's literary motifs and characters can be found in the German literature of the day. His use of pseudonyms and his interest in irony were both profoundly influenced by German Romanticism. Moreover, many of Kierkegaard's views on criticism and aesthetics were decisively shaped by the work of German authors.

Although Kierkegaard's reception was initially more or less limited to Scandinavia, it has for a long time now been a highly international affair. As his writings became translated into the different languages, his reputation spread, and he became read more and more by people increasingly distant from his native Denmark. While in Scandinavia, the attack on the Church in the last years of his life became something of a cause célèbre, later many different aspects of his work became the object of serious scholarly investigation well beyond the original northern borders. As his reputation grew, he was co-opted by a number of different philosophical and religious movements in different contexts throughout the world. The three tomes of the present volume attempt to record the history of this reception according to national and linguistic categories.

Tome I covers the reception of Kierkegaard in Northern and Western Europe. The articles on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland can be said to trace Kierkegaard's influence more or less in its native Nordic Protestant context. Since the authors in these countries (with the exception of Finland) were not dependent on translations or other intermediaries, this represents the earliest tradition of Kierkegaard reception. The early German translations of his works opened the door for the next, broader phase of Kierkegaard's reception. The articles in the section on Western Europe trace his influence in the German-speaking world, Switzerland, Great Britain, the French-speaking world, and the Dutch-speaking world. All of these have their own extensive tradition of Kierkegaard reception.

Tome II covers the reception of Kierkegaard in Southern, Central and Eastern Europe. The first set of articles, under the rubric "Southern Europe," covers Portugal, Spain, and Italy. The reception in these countries shares a number of common features including a Catholic cultural context and a debt to the French reception. The next group covers the rather heterogeneous group of countries designated here as "Central Europe": Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland. These countries are loosely bound in a cultural sense by their former affiliation with the Habsburg Empire and in a religious sense by their shared Catholicism. Finally, the Orthodox countries of "Eastern Europe" are represented with articles on Russia, Bulgaria, Serbia and Montenegro, Macedonia, and Romania.

Tome III is the most geographically diverse, covering the Near East, Asia, Australia and the Americas. The section on the Near East features pioneering articles on the Kierkegaard reception in Israel, Turkey, Iran, and the Arab world. The next section dubbed "Asia and Australia" features articles on the long and rich traditions of Kierkegaard research in Japan and Korea along with the more recent ones in China and Australia. A final section is dedicated to Americas with articles on Canada, the United States, hispanophone South America, Mexico and Brazil.




Titel: The Isolated Self. Truth and Untruth in Søren Kierkegaard's On the Concept of Irony
(Danish Golden Age Studies Volume 1)

Forlag: C. A. Reitzel


While many studies of On the Concept of Irony treat Kierkegaard's "irony" primarily from a literary perspective, The Isolated Self also examines irony with an eye to the fundamental problem in Kierkegaard's authorship, namely, the challenge of becoming a "self." Kierkegaard's "irony" is a cavalier way of life that seeks isolation from the other-an isolation he considers necessary to becoming a self.

At the same time, irony is said to be a hindrance to selfhood because the self fails to become a part of the social world in which it resides. The Isolated Self thus puts the existential tension of On the Concept of Irony into relief and suggests how it sets the stage for the rest of Kierkegaard's authorship.

The Isolated Self reconstructs the horizon of understanding during Kierkegaard's time, including Hegel's interpretation of both Socratic irony and Friedrich Schlegel's romantic irony. In addition, the work explores material from the little-known Danish discussion of irony in the works of Poul Martin Møller, Johan Ludvig Heiberg and Hans Lassen Martensen.




Titel: Positivity and Dialectic. A Study of the Theological Method of Hans Lassen Martensen

This work has both an intrinsic and an extrinsic thesis. The setting is within the broader context of the study of the thought of Kierkegaard. The extrinsic thesis is that the work of Kierkegaard is essentially polemical in character and cannot be understood without taking into account the highly specific nature of his polemics against Danish Hegelianism. The special target of these polemics is the attempts of the Danish theologian, Hans Lassen Martensen (1808-1884) to bend the Hegelian philosophical method to his own theological purposes. The intrinsic thesis is that Martensen's development is almost entirely within the lines of a form of theological intuitionism to which his use of Hegel bears only an external relation. Hence, if it is supposedly Hegelianism which Kierkegaard attacks in the writings of Martensen, it is a highly modified and atypical form of it.

This work traces Martensen's theological intuitionism through four stages in the period which is pertinent for the study of Kierkegaard, the years 1833 to 1850.

The present tome is the first of a three-volume work dedicated to exploring the profound influence of G.W.F. Hegel's philosophical thinking in Golden Age Denmark. This initial volume covers the period from the beginning of the Hegel reception in the Danish Kingdom in the 1820s until 1836.

The dominant figure from this period is the poet and critic Johan Ludvig Heiberg. While Søren Kierkegaard's polemic with the Danish Hegelians is well-known, the actual texts and ideas of these thinkers have received little attention in their own right.

The present work demonstrates that this largely overlooked tradition of Hegel reception played a profound and indeed constitutive role in many aspects of Golden Age culture: philosophy, theology, literature, poetry, law, journalism, the arts, etc. Moreover, it brought into its orbit most all of the main figures from the period.

This second tome treats the most dynamic period in the history of the Danish Hegel reception, namely, the years from 1837 to 1842. The main figure in this period is the theologian Hans Lassen Martensen who made Hegel's philosophy a sensation among the students at the University of Copenhagen in the late 1830s.

This period also includes the publication of Johan Ludvig Heiberg's Hegelian journal, Perseus, in 1837 and 1838, and the monumental review of it by Frederik Christian Sibbern. During this time Hegel's philosophy flourished in unlikely genres such as drama, with Heiberg's speculative comedy, Fata Morgana (1838), and lyric poetry with his New Poems (1841), which included his satirical classic, "A Soul after Death." This period also witnessed Hegel's philosophy make inroads in fields such as jurisprudence and art criticism. During these years Hegelianism enjoyed an unprecedented success in Denmark that began to fade as it gradually became perceived as a dangerous trend.


Titel: Following the Cultured Public's Chosen One. Why Martensen Mattered to Kierkegaard

Forlag: Copenhagen: Museum Tusculanum Press

 

 

Søren Kierkegaard never shared the cultured public's enthusiasm for Hans Lassen Martensen, whom it identified as its chosen one. This volume examines the Kierkegaard-Martensen relationship, establishing ways in which the speculative theologian Martensen was a source for Kierkegaard's thought.

Kierkegaard's relationship with Martensen was multidimensional and volatile. He functioned as Kierkegaard's personal acquaintance and occasional conversation partner, tutor, teacher, dissertation committee evaluator, representative of Golden Age Danish culture, book writing and selling competitor, fellow Lutheran and bishop. While the two never saw things eye-to-eye, and Kierkegaard's dislike for Martensen received expression in his writings, this spiteful ridicule and derision was directed toward one upon whom Kierkegaard was significantly dependent.

Kierkegaard's intellectual life and work underwent extensive development during the two decades of his literary output from 1834 to his death in 1855. These developments can be better grasped by investigating developments that Martensen himself was going through. Martensen's career progressed from an early concern with philosophy of religion addressed to the public of the academy, to dogmatic theology addressed to the public of the church, to practical theology addressed to the public of society. The questions and issues preoccupying Martensen changed with these progressions, and these changes did not go unnoticed by Kierkegaard.

The case is here argued that Kierkegaard followed Martensen's intellectual development very closely and that Martensen's shifting theological agenda in fact notably shaped the evolving agenda of Kierkegaard's own developing religious thought.

The present anthology is dedicated to the varied work of Johan Ludvig Heiberg (1791-1860). While Søren Kierkegaard, Hans Christian Andersen and N.F.S. Grundtvig have long been recognized as leading cultural figures of the Golden Age, worthy of careful study, Heiberg's reception has been slower, despite the fact that he was a towering figure in his own day. Although Heiberg has been studied for years in Denmark by scholars such as Henning Fenger and Morten Borup, he has not enjoyed the same reputation abroad. Recently, however, Heiberg's work has begun to catch the eye of international scholars.

This volume is a collection of articles dedicated to the different dimensions of Johan Ludvig Heiberg's thought. It is an interdisciplinary collection in an attempt to cover as many different aspects of Heiberg's intellectual activity as possible. Thus, scholars from fields such as philosophy, literature, theology, philology, history, and art history are represented with original contributions.

En ny samlet receptionshistorisk fremstilling af den danske Kierkegaard-forskning og -læsning har længe været savnet.

I Søren Kierkegaard i Danmark kortlægger og beskriver Steen Tullberg det danske Kierkegaard-studium i alle dets forgreninger - det være sig filologiske, teologiske, filosofiske, litterære, æstetiske, psykologiske, politiske, personalhistoriske og populærvidenskabelige. Fremstillingen er struktureret i afgrænsede tidsafsnit og påviser hovedlinier i de forskellige Kierkegaard-tolkninger, der har gjort sig gældende i disse tidsperioder. Uden at fortabe sig i petitesser fremlægger forfatteren samtidig et væld af detaljer og redegør klart og pædagogisk for de mange fortættede problemstillinger og komplicerede diskussioner, der har præget litteraturen om den danske nationalfilosof.

För 150 år sedan dog Søren Kierkegaard, men hans filosofi och författarskap är fortfarande synnerligen levande. I Sverige har hans allmänkulturella betydelse varit stor genom alla år, men hans fackfilosofiska inflytande har varit begränsat, och diskussionerna kring Kierkegaards teologiska roll tystnade kring mitten av förra seklet. Medan det sedan länge finns en mycket aktiv forskningstradition i ämnet i Danmark, har Kierkegaardstudiet i Sverige, med några få undantag, legat i träda. Denna volym vill markera startskottet för en gemensam skandinavisk diskussion om Kierkegaards arbete.

I Tänkarens mångfald erbjuds läsaren en hastig orientering i den samtida skandinaviska Kierkegaardforskningen. Bidragen behandlar Kierkegaards förhållande till döden, hans syn på kommunikation, på synd, på den estetiska upplevelsen och på individen. Kierkegaard och Werder, Kierkegaard och Sokrates, och Kierkegaard som profet är andra teman.
Utöver uppsatserna återges en text av Kierkegaard själv, närmare bestämt första delen ur hans allra första Journal, AA från 1835-1837. Utdraget innehåller de berömda passagerna från Kierkegaards vistelse i Gilleleje, vilka ofta hyllas som vittnesmål om Kierkegaards religiösa omvändelse eller som inledningen till hans existentiella tänkande. Här återfinns också det stycke där Kierkegaard redogör för sin tur över Öresund, närmare bestämt till Krapperups slott vid foten av Kullaberg, en vistelse som ägde rum den 27-28 juli 1835. Det
får stå som symbol för förhoppningarna om fortsatt forskningssamarbete över gränserna, och om en vital vetenskaplig och intellektuell diskussion på svensk mark kring Kierkegaards tänkande.

This volume presents one of the philosophical classics of the Danish Golden Age: Johan Ludvig Heiberg's On the Significance of Philosophy for the Present Age, a text which appeared at C.A. Reitzel's Publishing House in 1833. In this work Heiberg gives his impassioned diagnosis of what he perceived as the great crisis of relativism and nihilism of his day. His proposed solution is that thinkers, artists and scholars should take refuge in Hegel's philosophy, which restores truth and beauty to their proper place

This volume features Johan Ludvig Heiberg's most extensive treatment of logic, namely, his Outline of the Philosophy of Philosophy or Speculative Logic from 1832. This work was originally used as a textbook for Heiberg's students at the Royal Military College. It follows closely G.W.F. Hegel's main statement on the subject, the Science of Logic. This work foreshadows a number of later Danish discussions about issues related to Hegel's logic, for example, the question of a presuppositionless beginning, mediation, movement in logic, the validity of the law of excluded middle, and finally the relation of philosophy to religion. Heiberg's Speculative Logic was the first of a series of Danish works and commentaries on Hegel's Science of Logic that appeared throughout the late 1830s and 1840s.

This volume features one of Johan Ludvig Heiberg's most astute philosophical works, the Introductory Lecture to the Logic Course, which was originally given as a lecture in 1834 and then published in 1835. This work is one of the clearest statements of Heiberg's Hegelian idealism. Here he makes a case for the primacy of philosophy over, for example, religion or the natural sciences by appealing to a theory of categories. Following Hegel's model, Heiberg places philosophical knowing higher than religious knowing.

Despite the title of the work, Heiberg is not concerned solely with logic or metaphysics. He also treats, for example, philosophy of language and aesthetics, setting up a cursory taxonomy of forms of poetry. This text further contains his famous appeal to "the demand of the age," which was so often the object of Kierkegaard's satire in works such as Prefaces and Stages on Life's Way.

Inspired by G.W.F. Hegel's system, Johan Ludvig Heiberg authored a series of essays and monographs on different philosophical issues in both Danish and German; these works began after his famous encounter with Hegel in Berlin in 1824 and continued for the next two decades.

The present volume features Heiberg's early work, Contingency Regarded from the Point of View of Logic (1825), which represents a pseudoHegelian account of the categories of contingency and necessity. Two years later Heiberg published a sequel to this treatise, entitled, "Nemesis. A Popular-Philosophical Investigation." This work attempts to demonstrate that even though we today no longer believe in Nemesis as a goddess who has control over our lives, nevertheless we very often make use of the concept of nemesis without knowing it.

The present volume also includes several other philosophical and literary articles primarily from Heiberg's journal Kjøbenhavns flyvende Post. These articles, which date from between 1825 and 1843, serve as a useful introduction to the different aspects of Heiberg's philosophical thinking and supplement his more extensive monographs in this field.

G.W.F. Hegel's so-called speculative logic was revolutionary since it attacked the basic laws of Aristotelian logic-the laws of contradiction and excluded middle-which stood as the foundation for the field for well over a millennium. He replaced these laws with the principle of mediation, which he used to redefine all the key terms of the discipline.

In the 1830s this highly controversial theory was attacked by a number of philosophers in Germany and Prussia. These debates spilled over into Denmark in the late 1830s and early 1840s and represent one of the signal episodes in the Danish Hegel reception.

The present volume includes the main texts in this controversy. The debate proper was initiated by the article "Rationalism, Supernaturalism" by the theologian Jakob Peter Mynster, who attacked Hegel's criticism of the law of excluded middle. The poet, Johan Ludvig Heiberg and the then young theologian, Hans Lassen Martensen then came to Hegel's defense with articles which responded to Mynster's charges.

Other interlocutors in the discussion were the philosopher, Frederik Christian Sibbern, and the religious writer, Søren Kierkegaard. There can be no doubt that Kierkegaard's frequent critical discussions of mediation throughout his authorship were significantly influenced by these debates.

Søren Kierkegaard (1813-55) er selvskreven til titlen som ''alletiders københavner'', men først med denne bog får vi det store værk om hans liv i den enevældige konges hoved- og residensstad, København.

Vi kommer indenfor på Kierkegaards bopæle, hvor vi møder hans tyende, logerende og naboer. Vi følges med ham, når han tager sit daglige ''menneskebad'' i byens vrimlende stænderforvirring. Og vi tager med ham på Dyrehavsbakken, i Det Kgl. Teater, til forlystelserne på Vesterbro og Frederiksberg og ud til ''faders grav'' på Assistens Kirkegård.

Kierkegaards København giver en kalejdoskopisk skildring af Guldalderens København og et detaljeret indblik i dens forskellige institutioner: politiet, borgervæbningen, brandvæsenet, vægterkorpset, kirkerne, rangforordningen, lavsvæsenet, hospitalerne, fattigvæsenet, teateret, universitetet, skolerne, kollegierne, bordellerne, fængslerne, befordringsvæsenet og meget andet.

Bogen er skrevet af Peter Tudvad, som har foretaget den hidtil mest omfattende revision af kilderne til Kierkegaards biografi. Arbejdet i arkiver og på biblioteker har ikke blot bragt nyt om de materielle forhold i Kierkegaards liv, men også om forhold, som man troede for længst var tilstrækkeligt belyst.

Kierkegaards København blæser alt pudderet og parfumen af Kierkegaard for at vise ham som det, han var - alletiders københavner!

Jon Stewart's groundbreaking study is a major re-evaluation of the complex relations between the philosophies of Kierkegaard and Hegel. The standard view on the subject is that Kierkegaard defined himself as explicitly anti-Hegelian, indeed that he viewed Hegel's philosophy with disdain. Jon Stewart shows convincingly that Kierkegaard's criticism was not of Hegel but of a number of contemporary Danish Hegelians. Kierkegaard's own view of Hegel was in fact much more positive to the point where he was directly influenced by some of Hegel's work. Any scholar working in the tradition of Continental philosophy will find this an insightful and provocative book with implications for the subsequent history of philosophy in the twentieth century. The book will also appeal to scholars in religious studies and the history of ideas.

SAK kan læses som en biografisk introduktion til Kierkegaards tid og tankeverden.

SAK betyder ingenting, SAK er en lyd, hvislende som et uigenkaldeligt piskesvirp på langs i luften henimod hestene foran wienervognen, afsted.

SAK er imidlertid også Søren Aabye Kierkegaards initialer, der sirligt slynget og spejlvendt var indgraveret i den signet, han pressede ned i flydende lak, rød eller sort, når breve, der kun vedkom modtageren, skulle forsegles.
-----
A seamless blend of history, philosophy, and psychological insight, all conveyed with novelistic verve, this is the most comprehensive and penetrating account yet written of the life and works of the enigmatic Dane who changed the course of intellectual history.

Er zeigt darin, dass all das, was der Philosoph über die Ethik, die Ästhetik und die Existenz schrieb, immer Reaktion war auf eigene Erfahrungen und Krisen

Svimmelhedens Etik er en nylæsning af hele Kierkegaards forfatterskab.

Etikken bringes i centrum, ikke som et stadium, der skal overstås eller suspenderes, men som et menneskes vedvarende og radikale ansvar for sig selv og for det andet menneske. Det påvises, at der hos Kierkegaard er en tæt og særegen forbindelse mellem hiin Enkelte og den anden, en forbindelse, der åbner selvforholdet ud mod verden og tilkender det et væsentligt socialt aspekt.

I forfatterskabet analyserer Kierkegaard ofte svimmelheden - både i konkret og i overført betydning - som et symptom på et menneskes erfaring af, at alting opløser sig og intet står fast.

Svimmelheden er en opmærksomhedserfaring. Den lader mennesket ane, at det er mere end en kastebold i tilfældighedernes spil. Det drages af de rige muligheder, men længes efter fasthed.

Siden Brandes har der været tradition for at opfatte Kierkegaard som den store fortaler for den ensomme subjektivitet. Alt i forfatterskabet skulle bestå i at vælge, vinde, finde, blive eller overtage sig selv.

Bogen sætter spørgsmålstegn ved denne monomant monologiske tolkning af Kierkegaard. Derfor læses de enkelte skrifter i lyset af de indsigter, som Martin Buber og Emmanuel Lévinas er kommet frem til. Bogen er dermed også en kritisk introduktion til dialogfilosofien og dens vigtigste skikkelser. I 1852, tre år før sin død, skrev Kierkegaard: Spørgsmaalet bliver bestandig: hvilken Ethik skal anlægges for det at turde kalde sig Christen ...?

Bogen analyserer forfatterskabet som ét langt forsøg på at finde svaret på dette spørgsmål og bliver således tillige et indlæg i den nutidige debat om, hvad etik er, og hvorpå den etiske fordring kan begrundes.

Skriftbilleder er en bog om de mængder af papir, Søren Kierkegaard efterlod sig ved sin død. Hans fordums forlovede, Regine Olsen, ville ikke eje dem, og Det kongelige Bibliotek frygtede at blive løbet over ende af nysgerrige læsere.

Bogen beretter den dramatiske historie om papirernes skæbne, deres flytninger mellem København og Aalborg sam t om deres første udgivelse, indtil de omsider havnede i Det kongelige Biblioteks bokse.

Bogen fortæller desuden om Kierkegaards vaner som forfatter, hans arbejdsmetode, hans samarbejde med sekretærer, papirhandlere og bogbindere. Det er en bog om de meget materielle forudsætninger for åndens flugt.
Skriftbilleder er ikke mindst en billedbog, der med sine 120 farvefotografier giver prøver på det righoldige arkiv. Foruden Kierkegaards skrift viser billederne de bevarede tegninger fra hans hånd.
