Kierkegaard A Critical Reader (Critical Readers) Paperback - 1998 - 1st Edition
by Rée, Jonathan [Editor]; Chamberlain, Jane [Editor];
Beginning with an editorial introduction that outlines the various conflicting approaches to Kierkegaard's work, and placing them within a historical context, this CRITICAL READER includes both previously published and newly commissioned essays that respond to new readings of Kierkegaard. A wide range of contributors challenge existing interpretations of Kierkegaard's thought.
First line
In the 1920s and thirties, when Kierkegaard was first becoming known in Germany (thanks to the courageous translation by Gottsched and Schrempf-a very risky venture at the time), and then in France (with the fine translations by Tisseau and Jean Wahl's celebrated Etudes Kierkegaardiennes), he was called on to play a double role: on the one hand as a thinker of protest, on the other as a thinker of renewal.
From the rear cover
Soren Kierkegaard - the prodigious Danish author who published dozens of genre-bending works of fiction, theology, philosophy and personal confession before his death in 1855 at the age of forty-two - would appear to be changing. Hitherto he has been interpreted either as a grim preacher of doom or as a precursor of 'existentialism'. But at the end of the twentieth century he is beginning to emerge as a fundamental philosophical theorist and a scintillating theoretical stylist - on of the greatest figures of modern European thought, and perhaps a proto-postmodern to rival Nietzsche and Heidegger both in theme and significance.
Beginning with an editorial introduction outlining the contradictory history of Kierkegaard's reputation, this Critical Reader brings together a range of essays - some previously published - which together paint a vivid picture of the new Kierkegaard.
Contributors include Paul Ricoeur, Emmanuel Levinas, Wilhelm Anz, David Wood, Joakim Garff, George Steiner, Gabriel Josipovici, Syviane Agacinski and Jacque
Derrida.
