Either/Or : Part 1 Kierkegaard's Writings Edna H. Hong, Howard V. Hong, Soren Kierkegaard
Publisher: Princeton University Press

Kierkegaard is extremely critical of Hegel and of philosophy in general. But also, just to make a kind of creative comparison of these two conceptions with the one written by Søren Kierkegaard, the Danish philosopher, and expressed in his book entitled Either/Or, we will introduce this work as well. There are plenty of literary works that have been strongly influenced by Andalusian culture and which can thank their glory mostly to this culture's. Yet even without saying it, I think you get the idea. Soren Kierkegaard's strategy of “indirect communication” is not too far removed from the “dog-whistling” of modern political campaigns. And the mildest suggestion, it seems to me, is that we at least put up with its being said, without thereby judging anyone, but directing every individual, including me, to grace and indulgence.1. He stood and produced with preternatural speed a series of original and difficult works, many of them written pseudonymously and published in editions that numbered in the hundreds — among them “Either-Or,” “Fear and Trembling,” “The Concept of Dread” and “Repetition.

Among the philosophers of the 19th Century, Soren Kierkegaard stands out for several reasons. Post we will talk about two major ones: Dante's Divine Comedy and Cervantes' Don Quixote.

Being something Linn Miller: I remember the very first time I read him; I was reading something from one of his works called Either/Or, and it's a piece representing the position of the aesthete, of the pleasure-seeker, and it's really a study in applied hedonism. He adapted the Sermon on the Mount for American audiences, writing, “Blessed are the happy who have everything, because they won't need to be comforted” and “Blessed are the impeccably dressed, because they will look nice when they see God.” He responded sharply to Kierkegaard's Either/Or with a treatise titled Both/And, followed by the conciliatory Either/Or and/or Both/And. Kierkegaard conceived of life as going through three stages: the aesthetic, the ethical and the religious. The very best works of philosophy, things like Kierkegaard's Either/Or or Nietzsche's Twilight of the Idols, don't occupy a separate category in my brain as “Great Books comma philosophy”; they stand on their own merits as truly great works. Presented here in a new translation, with a historical introduction by the translators, Fear and Trembling and Repetition are the most poetic and personal of Søren Kierkegaard's pseudonymous writings. Works for its message to be understood. Dr William McDonald, philosopher at the University of New England, says part of Kierkegaard's core message is that being something isn't about easy things like flag waving or church-going.
