Kierkegaard's Journals and Notebooks, Volume 1

Bruce H. Kirmmse, Professor of History at Connecticut College, is the author of "Kierkegaard in Golden Age Denmark" and the translator of "Soren Kierkegaard: A Biography (Princeton)".

"The volume is nothing short of an editorial tour de force. It will be indispensable for all libraries supporting graduate work on Kierkegaard."-- P.K. Moser, Choice "Because they contain important philosophical insights and clues to the meaning of the text in his published works, and this unconditioned by pseudonymity, most scholars have traditionally sought to find there what are presumed to be Kierkegaard's own views... This volume and those to come will enrich and deepen the scholarly discussions of Kierkegaard's thought in the English-speaking world."--Andrew S. Nam, Religious Studies Review "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
