Kierkegaard and His Contemporaries: The Culture of Golden Age Denmark


Add your own review!

Overview

In the context of ""Golden Age Demark"", this work looks at Kierkegaard and his relationships with his most famous Danish contemporaries. It aims to see them not as minor figures labouring in Kierkegaard's shadow but rather as significant thinkers and artists in their own right. The articles demonstrate both Kierkegaard's influence on his contemporaries and their varied influences upon him.

Reviews

"""Kierkegaard and His Contemporaries is as a whole a most welcome contribution to the continuing effort of a part of many scholars to offer accounts of the cultural and intellectual milieu in which Kierkegaard worked that will provide a surer foundation for understanding his works in terms of the norms and expectations of his time. The volume is clearly based on the assumption that a rounded, textured, and subtly nuanced contextualization will contribute significantly to the understanding of his works.""Steven P. Sondrup in: Scandinavian Studies 2005"
