Something long needed in Kierkegaard scholarship, February 24, 2009
This review is from: Soren Kierkegaard's Journals and Notebooks, Vol. 1: Journals AA-DD (Hardcover)
This first volume of what is expected to be a 13-volume set marks an important milestone in Kierkegaard scholarship. It, when completed, will be a full English translation of all of Kierkegaard's voluminous private musing about all kinds of subjects. Until now, those who cannot read Danish were relegated to scattered translations of parts of these important writings. The best was the Hong's 6-volume "Journals and Papers," which had two major faults; it was incomplete and was organized by topics. The 13-volumes of this set will be chronological insofar as that is possible, and that will make it much easier to study Kierkegaard's development and progression of thought. I hope that this set will be published in a searchable electronic form and that the price becomes much more reasonable.
