The main theme of this yearbook is Kierkegaard's "A Literary Review" (1846). This text has often been ignored by much of Kierkegaard research since it purports merely to be a book review of Thomasine Gyllembourg's novel, "Two Ages", but yet in the context of discussing the novel, Kierkegaard comes to treat a number of issues of social criticism as well as social-political philosophy. Thus, this work offers a source for our understanding of Kierkegaard's little recognized views on these subjects. In this way "A Literary Review" is examined from various points of view and with the use of various methodologies.
This yearbook investigates Søren Kierkegaard's often overlooked 1846 text, "A Literary Review." While ostensibly a review of Thomasine Gyllembourg's novel "Two Ages," Kierkegaard uses the occasion to explore significant issues in social criticism and social-political philosophy. This volume examines that text from multiple perspectives and with diverse methodologies, offering insights into Kierkegaard's less recognized views on these subjects.
This yearbook focuses on a specific, often neglected work by Kierkegaard, suggesting a scholarly and specialized audience. The examination of social criticism and political philosophy within his work indicates a departure from more common theological or existential interpretations. The use of diverse methodologies implies a rigorous academic approach, likely appealing to researchers and students of Kierkegaardian thought and 19th-century philosophy.
