Reviews

Authorship and Authority or A Master of Disguises - this collection by renowned and early career Kierkegaard scholars weaves a tapestry of different approaches and voices as diverse as Kierkegaard's authorship itself. A must-read for anyone interested in the work of the elusive Dane and the `meta-philosophy' of his pseudonymous and non-pseudonymous writings. * Genia Schoenbaumsfeld, Professor of Philosophy, University of Southampton, UK *

He also published many texts under his own name and then reflected about the difference between the signed and unsigned works in his Journals, which were intended for publication. Anyone making a serious approach to Kierkegaard must grapple with the hydra-headed question of Kierkegaard's authorship. Boasting a distinguished roster of contributors, this book is balanced, comprehensive, rigorously argued and above all an indispensable guidewire for anyone entering the labyrinth of Kierkegaard's oeuvre. * Gordon Marino, Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Hong Kierkegaard Library, St. Olaf College, USA * This excellent introduction to the most basic question in Kierkegaard scholarship-Is there an authoritative Kierkegaard in Kierkegaard's authorship?-has been sorely needed for years! Westfall has given us a text that presents an exceptionally thorough and even-handed orientation to the question while also enabling a richly-contested discussion among some of the best scholars in the field. * Paul Martens, Associate Professor of Religion, Baylor University, USA *
