| Kierkegaard, born 1813, who died aged 42 |
The following
paperback editions of Kierkegaard’s books include almost all of those that are
considered to be most significant. If you feel called to read more solidly – in
greater depth – these are the ones to get hold of:
1) A Literary Review
(Penguin Classics) [Paperback] Søren
Kierkegaard (Author), Alastair Hannay, (Introduction, Translator)
2) Either/Or: A Fragment
of Life (Penguin Classics) [Abridged] [Paperback]
Søren
Kierkegaard (Author), Alastair
Hannay (Introduction, Translator)
3) Papers and Journals:
A Selection (Penguin Classics) [Paperback]
Søren
Kierkegaard (Author), Alastair
Hannay (introduction &
translation).
4) The Sickness Unto Death: A Christian Psychological
Exposition of Edification and Awakening by Anti-Climacus (Classics),
5) Fear and Trembling:
Dialectical Lyric by Johannes De Silentio (Classics)
Søren
Kierkegaard (Author), Alastair
Hannay (introduction & translation).
6) Kierkegaard's Writings, XII: Concluding Unscientific
Postscript to Philosophical Fragments, Howard & Edna Hong (translators).
7) Works of Love [Paperback]
Søren
Kierkegaard, translated by Howard & Edna Hong, introduction by George
Pattison.
8) Spiritual Writings: A
New Translation and Selection (Harperperennial Modern Thought) [Paperback]
Søren
Kierkegaard (Author), George
Pattison, (translation & introduction).
Most of these can be obtained very cheaply. The
most philosophical is Concluding Unscientific Postscript, which he had intended to be his last word. The last two works
listed are some of his ‘upbuilding’ writings, which are powerful stuff though
perhaps less so for those who reject Christianity outright. He writes in his
own person and voice without the indirection of the pseudonymous works. Of the
others, Either/Or, The Sickness unto Death & Fear & Trembling are his
most notable works. Either/Or is abridged, though only slightly. You might not notice this!
