Kjøbenhavn, 1849. 8vo. A magnificent black half calf in perfect pastiche-style with richly gilt spine. Some brownspotting, but a very good copy. 51pp. Old owner's names to title-page. The book is housed in the original bubble-wrap envelope stating ""Kierkegaard Book"" and a code, in which it was kept during its travel into space. The Certficate of Authenticity (blue background with white and red) measures 21x29,5 cm. It states that ""This item was flown with Andreas Mogensen during his ESA iriss mission in September 2015 in board the International Space Station"", carries the logos os ESA (European Space Agency) and iriss and is signed by both Andreas Mogensen, ESA astronaut, and Andreas Schoen, Head of the Columbus Operations Dvision. The book and the certificate are housed together in an absolutely splendid custom-made box of grey stone veneer with a ""moon-like"" stone-surface and silver lettering (KIERKEGAARD IN SPACE) to the spine. The certficate is kept in the ""lid"" of the box, under plastic ""frame"", framed with a thin like of stone veneer with magnetic edges, so that it can be easily removed but is still safely and elegantly kept in place. The book, still in the original bubble-wrap-envelope, is kept in the other part of the box, in a hollow lined with thick structured silk.
1843140946922Copenhagen: C. A. Reitzel 1843. First Edition. Very Good. First edition of Soren Kierkegaard's best-known work Either/Or. Octavo. Two volumes bound in contemporary half-calf over marbled boards; bound without the half-titles. Text in Danish. Very Good rubbing and wear to bindings neatly rebacked with old spines preserved. Former owner names to preliminary blacks and owner's rubber stamp to title pages. Contents tanned sporadically foxed and occasionally lightly stained. A lovely set. <p>Either/Or Danish philosopher Søren Aabye Kierkegaard's groundbreaking first published work.

It was mostly written during his stay in Berlin where he took notes on Schelling's Philosophy of Revelation.

He is widely considered to be the first existentialist philosopher. "As a thinker Kierkegaard had to wait for the twentieth century to find his audience; he is now generally considered to be however eccentric one of the most important Christian philosophers" write Carter and Muir in Printing and the Mind of Man.

In spite of the wear an attractive and tight copy. First and last leaves with a bit of brownspotting otherwise only light occasional spotting. Old owner's signature to title-page. VIII 383 pp. <br/><br/><em>First edition of one of Kierkegaard's main works "Stages on Life's Way" his pivotal sequal to his main work "Either-Or" in which he had presented the first two stages the aesthetic and the ethical. In "Stages on Life's Way" he continues his work on these stages and moves on to present also the religious stage which takes up ab. two thirds of the work. The religious stage is that in which man attains a personal relationship with God and that in which man only truly begins to exist as the aesthetic and ethical stages are inadequate. It is in this foundational work in the religious stage that Kierkegaard first properly describes what is now known as the "Leap of Faith" in fact a "leap to faith" namely the leap that involves willing and belief in stead of reason and knowledge the leap that you make in order to connect to God and which requires that which he calls "the suspension of the ethical". Stages on Life’s Way is one of Kierkegaard’s most important works. Not only does it sum up and explain some of the most important themes of Kierkegaard’s previous works utilizing the characters and pseudonymous authors of the earlier works to do so; it goes beyond these foundational themes introduces the religious stage and points to the further development of the central themes in Kierkegaard’s philosophy most of which are only fully developed in Concluding Unscientific Postscript. </em> hardcover

184362092Kjøbenhavn 1843. 8vo. Contemporary dark brown half cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Capitals and a bit of the front hinge worn but overall very nice and tight. Internally a bit of brownspotting as always due to the quality of the paper but less than usual. Old owner's signature to title-page. VIII 135 pp. <br/><br/><em>First edition of one of Kierkegaard's most important and sought-after works Fear and Trembling which is rather more difficult to find than most of his other works. Fear and Trembling is one of Kierkegaard’s most important works. And it is also one of his most difficult. It deals – in forceful brevity – with the relationship between reason and faith and provides us with Kierkegaard’s most thorough exposition of the religious stage which he considered the most meaningful form of existence. It is here that Kierkegaard introduces the “tragic hero†and contrasts it to the “Knight of Faith†who both ignore their own wishes for a higher good. These two essential figures epitomize the ethical and the religious and pave the way for the understanding of these stages in Kierkegaard’s philosophy. It is arguably also here that the idea of the essential leap of faith is introduced for the first time. The Knight of Faith sacrifices his son at the command of God and thus sets aside an ethical demand in in order to attain a higher goal that exists beyond the ethical. This teleological suspension of the ethical requires a leap of faith that is only possible through faith in virtue of the absurd. Himmelstrup 48. </em> hardcover

Three Discourses; To Taler ved Altergangen om Fredagen Two Discourses at Communion on Fridays; Om min Forfatter-Virksomhed My Activity as a Writer. Soren Kierkegaard is widely regarded as the first existential philosopher and though much of his work was not translated into major European languages until the turn of the 20th century once this happened his work on the philosophy of religion and the nature of morality quickly became very influential. Karl Barth's theology the fiction of Franz Kafka and J.D. Salinger and the psychological theories of Viktor Frankl Carl Rogers and Erich Fromm all draw from pieces of Kierkegaard's writings. C.A.

First Edition First Issue Himmelstrup 8. The rare early issue with the second title page in Latin. "Kierkegaard's second book his dissertation in theology presented at the University of Copenhagen. In this work Kierkegaard invidiously contrasts the irony of Socrates with the comparatively palliated and world-weary irony of the romantics. Irony constitutes the first in that series of multivalent existential categories the exception the Extraordinary the incommensurate Angst the leap faith the absurd the 'offense' the moment deployed against the Hegelian System. Indeed irony and the figure of the ironist are central to Kierkegaard's entire 'aesthetic' corpus. Socrates was a figure to whom Kierkegaard would regularly return as an antidote to the 'speculative disease' in philosophy."
