Review
The definitive edition of the Writings. The first volume . . . indicates the scholarly value of the entire series: an introduction setting the work in the context of Kierkegaard's development; a remarkably clear translation; and concluding sections of intelligent notes. -- Library Journal

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great translation, in-depth supplement,
This review is from: Either/Or, Part II (Kierkegaard's Writings, Vol. 4) (Paperback)
This translation of one of Soren Kierkegaard's most famous work is impressive in its ability to communicate not only the denotative arguments, but many of the literary and connotative thoughts behind them. I've only other read one other translation, but this one, when compared to it, is much more adept at transforming the work into an English-language masterpiece. As well, the supplementary material is quite thorough and useful for further understanding of the work. My only complaint is that there is occasionally a bit of overcomplication in the notation-- sometimes, one uses a footnote only to see a page reference to the supplementary material. Upon finding the page with the supplementary material, one reads that they must find another page with a more thorough explanation. These instances, however, are very rare, and by no means take away from the excellent quality of the work.

A towering work,
This review is from: Either/Or, Part II (Kierkegaard's Writings, Vol. 4) (Paperback)
Seems a little silly to review Kierkegaard in this way. He's brilliant, and yes, the translation appears to be quite good. Not light reading, but worth the effort.

I love Kierkegaard!,
By Bridgett (Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Either/Or, Part II (Kierkegaard's Writings, Vol. 4) (Paperback)
I love Either/Or. I really relate to a lot of the philosophy. I've heard the first one is often considered more interesing, but I related more to the second. Probably too long and dense for people who either aren't serious about philosophy, or can't handle reading really long books.
