After an introduction explaining how Kierkegaard viewed the task of 'becoming a philosopher', there are generous extracts from the "Concept of Irony" and the great pseudonymous works: " Either/Or," "Fear and Trembling," "Repetition,"" Philosophical Fragments," "The Concept of Anxiety," "Prefaces,"" Johannes Climacus" and "Concluding Unscientific Postscript," Kierkegaard's own attempts to summarize the significance of his writings are also included, so that readers have the opportunity to make up their own minds about the adequacy of his retrospective accounting. The Kierkegaard who emerges from these pages is not only a penetrating analyst of temporality, individuality, and irony, but also a lithe, witty and versatile stylist. He is probably one of the greatest writers in the philosophical tradition, and surely one of the most humorous. The anthology makes use of a range of classic translations, and includes new translations by Jane Chamberlain and Jonathan Ree, explanatory introductions, an index and a glossary. |
