After reading the preface to Either/Or, as soon as I began the “Diapsalmata,” the section from which I draw the following excerpts, I was struck. I was rather sloppy in what I wrote above, and I wrongly described Either/Or (Part II) and Fear and Trembling as aesthetic works. The editor refers to the first set of writing as the writings of “A,” in light of the fact that he has no name for the author. A good friend, who went to the trouble of writing a doctoral dissertation on Kierkegaard, once remarked to me that he thought that, rather than calling him a philosopher, we ought to call him an evangelical psychologist. And the culmination of these impressions, gleaned while reading the “Diapsalmata” and upon finishing it, Either/Or as a compilation of two “found texts,” arranged and published by an unnamed editor (Preface). Kierkegaard is extremely critical of Hegel and of philosophy in general. Among the philosophers of the 19th Century, Soren Kierkegaard stands out for several reasons. Part Two--the longest part--is concerned with Kierkegaard's The Concept of Irony. Part Three consists of discussions of Kierkegaard's Either/Or (Volume I) and selected works by Barthes. 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. Post we will talk about two major ones: Dante's Divine Comedy and Cervantes' Don Quixote. 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. Part I has the title of 'Anxiety as the Presupposition of Hereditary Sin and as Explaining Hereditary Sin Retrogressively in Terms of its Origin', and starts with § 1 Historical Intimations Regarding the Concept of Hereditary Sin, which is what is covered in I haven't quoted much in these posts, but I will insert one quotation below which addresses Kierkegaard's own way of writing while addressing a specific issue of the relation between the individual and the human race. Or is it that The Tiger Lillies' new album, Either Or, is titled after and inspired by Soren Kierkegaard's famous book of the same name? You are exactly right, Michael.
