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 coveringa 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.
This volume of the Kierkegaard Studies Yearbook critically examines Søren Kierkegaard's seminal 1843 work, 'Either/Or,' and its enduring global impact. The collection is divided into two sections: the first comprises papers from an international research seminar held in Copenhagen, focusing on the philosophical and theological dimensions of Kierkegaard's text. The second section delves into the extensive reception history of 'Either/Or,' tracing its influence across diverse geographical and cultural landscapes, from Scandinavia to China, underscoring its significance for 20th and 21st-century thought.
The Kierkegaard Studies Yearbook 2008 is dedicated to a comprehensive exploration of 'Either/Or,' a work that propelled Kierkegaard to international renown. The collected papers from the 2007 research seminar offer in-depth analyses of the text's philosophical and theological content. Furthermore, the studies on its reception history demonstrate the profound and widespread impact of Kierkegaard's early work across various cultures and time periods, solidifying its status as a foundational text for contemporary thought.
