About This Item
London: Collins, 1965. 1st. hardback. Very good, 1st edition, with unclipped d/j, ex-librar (Latimer Trust), light blue boards with gilt titlling on black spine panel bright; text block tight, pages unmarked and clean.. 8vo: crown (200 x 140 / 8"" x 5_""). One of the greatest thinkers of the nineteenth century, Søren Kierkegaard (1814-55) often expressed himself through pseudonyms and disguises. His private reflections reveal the development of his own thought and personality with a freedom not seen in works he published during his lifetime. A combination of theoretical argument, vivid natural description and sharply honed wit. here presents his brilliant challenge to 'Christendom' to admit that it has nothing to do with Christianity. He also provides a wealth of reflection on such diverse subjects as celibacy, the nature of woman, the power of the daily press, the meaning of 'witnessing to the truth', and on Kierkegaard's own experiences.
