Kierkegaard did most of his seminal writing under assumed names: Victor Eremita (“Either/Or”); Johannes de Silentio (“Fear and Trembling”); Anti-Climacus (“The Sickness Unto Death”); Hilarious Bookbinder (“Stages on Life's Way”); When I was learning Danish, I tried to read him in the original, but he is one of those rare stylists whose thought and diction are so unpredictable and rife with paradox that you can never guess a word that you don't know from its context. This entry was posted in culture and tagged books, history, Kierkegaard, quotations, Soren Kierkegaard, writing. 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. Kierkegaard (yes, I have no idea how to pronounce his name, either) was apparently one of the founders of Existentialism. Kierkegaard conceived of life as going through three stages: the aesthetic, the ethical and the religious. 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. Works for its message to be understood. Download Either/Or : Part 1 Kierkegaard's Writings - Free chm, pdf ebooks rapidshare download, ebook torrents bittorrent download. But his philosophy is grounded firmly in Christianity. We didn't trade email addresses, as neither of us had one of those either. I really enjoy writing of this sort.
