Kierkegaard's Journals and Notebooks, Volume 2: Journals EE-KK

Description

Soren Kierkegaard (1813-55) published a number of works during his lifetime, but he left behind nearly as much unpublished writing, most of which consists of what are called his "journals and notebooks." This volume includes materials from 1836 to 1846, a period that takes Kierkegaard from his student days to the peak of his activity as an author.

Bruce H. Kirmmse of Connecticut College is general editor and K. Brian Soderquist of the University of Copenhagen is associate general editor of "Kierkegaard's Journals and Notebooks". Volume editor George Pattison is at the University of Oxford.

"For all of his lyricism, many of Kierkegaard's works project themselves as an impenetrable fortress of abstractions. These magnificently translated journals are a tunnel beneath the moat of that fortress. They capture the unpackaged and unbuttoned Kierkegaard and thus provide a stimulus to anyone intent on understanding a religious author who could well be reckoned a Luther of Lutheranism."--Gordon Marino, Christian Century "These new critical editions do an excellent job of making Kierkegaard's journals and notebooks available in all their richness."--Brian Gregor, Elizabeth C. Shaw and Staff
