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. Only 525 copies of this edition were published in 1843 under an editorial pseudonym "Victor Emerita" at the author's own expense. It was mostly written during his stay in Berlin where he took notes on Schelling's Philosophy of Revelation. It includes essays of literary and music criticism and a set of romantic-like-aphorisms as part of his larger theme of examining the reflective and philosophical structure of faith. 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.

Published simultaneously with The Concept of Anxiety Prefaces can be viewed as its companion piece. It represents an altogether different genre but the two fictional authors of the works interestingly contrast each other. Although having been eclipsed by the now notoriously famous Concept of Anxiety Prefaces was in fact more popular when it appeared and sold many more copies. Written under the pseudonym of Nicolaus Notabene the “author†name indicates that despite its humorous approach Prefaces is still something serious – something to be noted. And it certainly is. It is here that we find Kierkegaard’s sarcastic roasting of the Hegelian system and of the Danish Hegelians with Johan Ludvig Heiberg as the main representant. Through Notabene he makes fun of Heiberg and Hegel who both want to explain everything and want to be mediators of understanding. Just as Hafniensis in The Concept on Anxiety poses that “how sin came into the world each man understands solely by himself. If he would learn it from another he would misunderstand it†p. 51 so Notabene in Prefaces states that “My frame my health my entire constitution do not lend themselves to mediation†p. 45. In Prefaces we also find Kierkegaard’s thoughts about the relationship between the reading public and the author and his fierce criticism of literary critics and reviewers. And in the very amusing preface to the Prefaces we are given another glimpse into Kierkegaard’s thoughts on marriage and the dilemma he found himself in with Regine – the inner struggle between he who is the husband and he who is the author; can one be both With its challenging notions on the idea of the book and the interaction of the book with its readers his little ironic masterpiece is a clear forerunner of Postmodernism Himmelstrup 7. </em> hardcover

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

First Edition Himmelstrup 53. <br /> <br />"A pseudonymous aesthetic work published on the same day as Fear and Trembling. Lowrie viewed 'repetition' as the most important and most puzzling term in Kierkegaard's vocabulary. It is associated with natural repetition with the young lover's futile efforts to repeat particular experiences and with the stories of Abraham who receives his son back and of Job who receives everything back. But as Lowrie notes for Kierkegaard such physical repetition matters only insofar as it may lead to an intuition of repetition as a religious category 'a movement in virtue of the absurd' through which the individual achieves a second higher 'immediacy'".

With Paul Rubow's ownership signature to front free end-paper. Clean and fresh both in- and externally with no signs of wear to the exterior and only faint brown spots to a few pages. 4 350 pp. <br/><br/><em>First edition of Kierkegaard's dissertation as it appeared in the normal trade without the preliminary Theses which were intended for academics attending the defence. Kierkegaard’s dissertation constitutes the culmination of three years’ intensive studies of Socrates and “the true point of departure for Kierkegaard’s authorship†Brandes. The work is of the utmost importance in Kierkegaard’s production not only as his first academic treatise but also because he here introduces several themes that will be addressed in his later works. Among these we find the question of defining the subject of cognition and self-knowledge of the subject. The maxim of “know thyself†will be a constant throughout his oeuvre as is the theory of knowledge acquisition that he deals with here. The dissertation is also noteworthy in referencing many of Hegel’s theses in a not negative context something that Kierkegaard himself would later note with disappointment and characterize as an early uncritical use of Hegel. Another noteworthy feature is the fact that the thesis is written in Danish which was unheard of at the time. Kierkegaard felt that Danish was a more suitable language for the thesis and had to petition the King in order to gain permission to submit it in Danish rather than Latin. This in itself contains as certain irony as the young Kierkegaard was known to express himself poorly and very long-winded in written Danish. Both stylistically and thematically Kierkegaard’s dissertation is a seedbed of his subsequent work and especially a clear precursor for his magnum opus Either-Or that is to be his next publication. The year 1841 is a momentous one in Kierkegaard’s life. It is the year that he completes his dissertation and commences his sojourn in Berlin but it is also the defining year in his personal life namely the year that he breaks off his engagement with Regine Olsen. And finally it is the year that he begins writing Either-Or In many ways Either-Or is born directly out of “The Concept of Irony†and is the work that brings the theory of Irony to life. Part One of the dissertation concentrates on Socrates as interpreted by Xenophon Plato and Aristophanes with a word on Hegel and Hegelian categories. Part Two is a more synoptic discussion of the concept of irony in Kierkegaard’s categories with examples from other philosophers. The work constitutes Kierkegaard’s attempt at understanding the role of irony in disrupting society and with Socrates understood through Kierkegaard we witness a whole new way of interpreting the world open before us. Wisdom is not necessarily fixed and we ought to use Socratic ignorance to approach the world without the inherited bias of our cultures. Kierkegaard's dissertation appeared in two states – one with the four pages of “Theses†for academics of the university whereas the copies without the theses were intended for ordinary sale. These sales copies also do not have “Udgivet for Magistergraden†and “theologisk Candidat†on the title-page. Himmelstrup 8. </em> hardcover

First Edition Second trade Issue Himmelstrup 8 The trade issue. <br /> <br />"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."
