Kierkegaard Studies Yearbook 2008 (Hardcover, Revised edition)

"Kierkegaard Studies Yearbook 2008" is devoted entirely to Kierkegaard's early two-part work "Either/Or" (1843) that made the young Danish theologian, philosopher and man of letter famous virtually overnight, and the reception and effects of which have been linked with his name world-wide up to the present day. "Either/Or" rightly appears as an overwhelming study heralding the present age of the 20th/21st centuries. Section 1 contains the collected papers from the international research seminar of the Kierkegaard Research Centre held in Copenhagen in August 2007. Section 2 contains studies on the history of the work's reception, in this case covering a wide field (from Scandinavia to China), which once again bear impressive testimony to the stature and effect of Kierkegaard's early work: "Either/Or" -Literature in its global effect.
