Title-page dusty and professsionally restored from verso with thin Chinese paper neatly closing a tear no loss. Some leaves evenly browned and last few leaves brownspotted otherwise only lighter occasional spotting. VIII 383 pp. 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 occupies approximately 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 the aesthetic and ethical stages being 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 instead of reason and knowledge the leap that you take in order to connect to God and which requires that which Kierkegaard calls “the suspension of the ethical”. Undoubtedly among Kierkegaard’s most brilliant literary achievements “Stages on Life’s Way” is written in the form of different viewpoints of Kierkegaard’s many pseudonymous characters. We have both Hilarius Bookbinder who by chance has come into possession of the documents presented in the work and has prepared them for printing. We have the famous banquet scene which mirrors Plato’s Symposium described by William Afham and in which the three aesthetics participate: Johannes the Seducer Victor Eremita and Constatin Constantius. We have Judge William’s discourse in praise of marriage and we have the diary discovered by Frater Taciturnus of a young man who was deeply in love but felt compelled to break off his engagement. This story in form of a diary is the closest one comes to a description of Kierkegaard’s own love story his relationship to Regine. The diary describes an engagement that has lasted for six months; it alternates between the morning notes that recall the engagement and the midnight notes that put it all in perspective. The work closes with a letter to the reader from Taciturnus on the three “existence-spheres” represented by the three parts of the book. “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”. Written under a pseudonym and without Kierkegaard’s name appearing as publisher or indeed anything else he was unable to give away presentation-copies of the work. Thus not a single presentation-copy of the work exists. Himmelstrup 78. unknown

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.

Housed in beautiful marbled paper box with a grey morocco spine with gilt Gothic lettering and small gilt ornamentations. Gilt super ex libris to front. Signed in Gilt lettering to inside of spine: Anker Kysters Eftf. and gilt by Hagel Olsen. A truly magnificent copy of the first edition in the extremely rare original wrappers completely unrestored and with the original printed spine also preserved in its entirety which we have never seen before. This important publication is an essential part of Kierkegaard's upbuilding production written and published under his own name. It consists of three discourses at the communion on Fridays and is the upbuilding religious companion to Sickness Unto Death that was published pseudonymously earlier in the year thus continuing the practice that Kierkegaard began with Either-Or and otherwise ended with Concluding Unscientific Postscript that each pseudonymous work would be accompanied by an upbuilding publication. As Kierkegaard states in his journal from October 1849 after having written that his "three discourses" i.e. "The High Priest" "The Publican" and "The sinner" "are now delivered to the printer 1 I must find a point of rest but I cannot rest on a pseudonym; and these discourses correspond to Anti-Climacus; and the position of Discourses for the Communion on Fridays is once and for all designated as the point of the rest for my works. 2 Since at present people are focusing on my pseudonym Climacus it is important that there be emphasis in the direction of edification. Once again how loving it is of Governance that what I need and am to use always lies ready. 3 "The Preface" calls to mind the Two Edif. Discourses of 1843; it is important to me to emphasize that I began as a religious author right at the outset; it is important for the repetition." NB 13: 79. In fact the reference back to Kierkegaard's debut as an upbuilding author in Two Upbuilding Discourses from 1843 plays a dominant role in the present work. The preface here not merely alludes to the preface of the first upbuilding publication it even largely quotes from it. Kierkegaard clearly perceived the present publication as beginning the second cycle of Upbuilding Discourses see NB 12:133. It is also worth noting that the present collection of discourses plays an important role in Kierkegaard's continued thoughts about Regine and the relationship that he broke off. Even the dating of the preface haunted him in this regard. We know from his notebooks that first he dated it "d. 10 Sept. 49" but then he altered it to the 8th then "start of" and finally "Beginning of September 1849". These dates all recall defining biographical incidences. It is on September 8 1841 that Kierkegaard sought out Regine on the street walked home with her and rushed to the Finance department to ask her father for her hand in marriage. And it was on September 10 also 1841 that he got acceptance from both Regine and her father so that the engagement was finalized. As we know the engagement ended when the tormented Kierkegaard broke it off a year later October 12 1842. The following years up until the publication of "The High Priest"… Kierkegaard considered reconciliation on numerous occasions. Thus in November 1849 he writes in his journal: "Had it been possible the reconciliation with "her" would have happened simultaneously with the three discourses i.e. "The High Priest" "The Publican" – "The Woman who was a Sinner" which in the preface – for the sake of repetition of the entire authorship – contains the repetition of the preface to the two upbuilding discourses 1843 the work I know for certain that she read back then." NB 14:44. As we know this reconciliation never took place accounting for the two dates of engagement being erased. Kierkegaard's upbuilding discourses were of immense importance to him though to his great disappointment they were partly neglected by his contemporaries in favour of his more known philosophical works. Whereas his philosophical works were meant to insinuate themselves into the minds of men his upbuilding discourses which accompanied the pseudonymous works formed a contrast to them by being direct and religious. They were meant to offer comfort to the reader to be exactly that which they were entitled – upbuilding. The three Communion-speeches in the present collection are theologically centered around the meaning of substitution the dialectic of self-delusion and the transformation of the subject by conversion. Reminding us that any kind of suffering that we can face was already faced by Christ Kierkegaard in the first of the discourses uses a passage from the Epistle to the Hebrews 4.15 to explain how Christ too was tempted how he relates to human suffering and how he as the sufferer of all sufferers is qualified to console us. The second discourse The Publican is based on the Scripture passage in Luke 18.13 where Jesus compares two kinds of attitude a person can have toward one's own sin. In analyzing the relationship of the publican and the Pharisee to God Kierkegaard uses the passage to address the reader and directly remind us of a theme that runs like a red thread through his religious writings: the necessity of being alone before God. In The Woman who was a Sinner taken from Luke 7.47 which Kierkegaard would later use for An Upbuilding Discourse 1850 the third discourse in the publication Kierkegaard discusses how to find solace and forgiveness once again hovering about the theme of the self before God. It is in many ways one of Kierkegaard's most moving pieces. Himmelstrup 120. The present copy is no. 76 in Girsel's "Kierkegaard" The Catalogue which can be found here.

1843ref. 62092Kjøbenhavn 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. 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. hardcover

A lovely copy of the first edition of all nine numbers of Kierkegaard’s fierce periodical with all nine issues in the first issue which is uncommon and beautifully bound contemporarily. No presentation-copies nor gift-bindings of the present work are known to exist neither are copies in original bindings nor wrappers as the issues were presumably never issued such but just as they appear here. Having commenced his attack on the Church in “The Fatherland” to pave the way for the final blow that is to come in the course of 1855 Kierkegaard establishes a periodical with the sole purpose of attacking the Church the priests and the official Danish Christianity as such. Kierkegaard is the publisher the editor and the only contributor. This is a focused sharp and destructive periodical intended to shock and to tear down the established Church. It is also witty and acute. Nine issues containing several articles each appeared between May 25 and September 24. The issues were published at one-to-four-week intervals up until Kierkegaard’s death. He collapsed in the street after having published the ninth issue of “The Moment”. A tenth was later found in his home finished but not dated for publication. This was published posthumously. The Moment-articles were extremely popular sold out quickly and were published in several issues. They shocked and outraged most of the Christian population but they also amused and inspired. Some of the articles were so outrageous that many thought the greatest mind of the country had lost his mind. Some speculated that Kierkegaard had been excluded from publishing in The Fatherland which is why he had to found his own organ of proclamation. This was not the case however. In an unpublished draft for an article for no. 9 of The Moment he explains that he had come to realize that The Fatherland was not effective enough. He had told Giødwad that “it will come to nothing as long as I use The Fatherland I need my own instrument” and explains that it is necessary for his contemporaries to deal with him alone. He goes on to talk about the immense effect The Moment has had how all talk about keeping him quiet evaporated and how he has probably reached as wide an audience as he could in The Fatherland but now knowing that ALL of his subscribers were interested in his cause and not just subscribers to The Fatherland. See SKS Introduction to Øieblikket 235. The initial title for “The Moment” had been “In the Moment – For Posterity” but Kierkegaard ended up just calling it “The Moment” as it was more powerful and the longer title would become tedious when continually repeated. Altogether Kierkegaard published a whole 64 articles in” The Moment” distributed thus: May 24 1855: 4 articles June 4 1855: 10 articles June 27 1855: 6 articles July 7 1855: 7 articles July 27 1855: 9 articles August 23 1855: 6 articles August 30 1855: 9 articles September 11 1855: 7 articles September 24 1855: 6 articles In his earlier works For Self Examination and Practice in Christianity from 1850 and 1851 respectively Kierkegaard had already addressed the topic of true Christianity as opposed to the official and institutionalized Christendom. Back then he had done so not subtly but also not as a full-blown attack. After a publishing hiatus of more than three years this was going to change. At the end of his life Kierkegaard embarked on a controversial and fierce attack upon the Danish Church that would have immense consequences for the development and comprehension of the official Church the priesthood and Christianity itself. The Danish State Church epitomized all that he found wrong with Christendom as a whole and he did not embark on his quest lightly. Throughout his writings Kierkegaard had maintained that the belief in Christ required a leap of faith and all of one’s person. The Danish Lutheran church on the other hand claimed that all Danes were born Lutheran and were thus Christians unless they actively chose not to be. The Danish Church had moved increasingly towards transforming Christianity into a profane state religion. It is still the case in Denmark today that when you are born a Dane you are also born a member of the Church. This equivalence between Church and State was extremely far from what Kierkegaard believed Christianity to be. Kierkegaard felt that the Church had betrayed the Christianity of the New Testament and he was willing to fight till his death to defend what he understood true Christianity to be. We were well beyond thoughts of reformation. It needed to be torn down and completely rebuilt. The war was waged in newspaper articles in the paper The Fatherland and in the “periodical” Kierkegaard himself founded with the sole purpose of attacking the Church “Øieblikket” i.e. The Moment in nine installments from May 26 to September 24 1855 with a tenth appearing posthumously. “These writings are markedly different from the rest of his work. Obviously intended for a broad audience they employed searing wit and satire making no attempt to be subtle or nuanced. Amid this public battle Kierkegaard collapsed on the street paralyzed and was taken to hospital. He died there a few weeks later on 11 November 1855. A tentative diagnosis of the cause was tuberculosis of the spine marrow. Towards the end Kierkegaard affirmed to Emil Boesen—a lifelong friend and a priest in the church that Kierkegaard had attacked—that he was still a believer in Christ.” D. Anthony Storm. Kierkegaard’s assault on official Christendom and the Danish Church was based upon his notion that Christendom had departed too far from the Christianity of The New Testament. For the outraged Kierkegaard Bishop Mynster typified the complacent and established “official” Christianity but the relationship with Mynster was complicated. He and Kierkegaard had always been closely intertwined. Few people played as important a role in Kierkegaard’s life as Mynster who Kierkegaard would constantly relate and refer to. Kierkegaard’s “mild” attack on the Church and the established Christianity in Denmark in Training in Christianity 1851 hit Mynster harder than anyone else and the two theological giants never reconciled after the publication of that work. But Kierkegaard had saved something much worse for later. For his own enormous respect for Mynster it also meant a great deal that Mynster was the last person to talk to Kierkegaard’s father before he died and that his father had always held him in extremely high regard. In his Journal from 1853 he writes “.I have something upon my conscience as a writer. Let me indicate precisely how I feel about it. There is something quite definite I have to say and I have so much upon my conscience that as I feel I dare not die without having uttered it. For the instant I die and so leave this world so I understand it I shall in the very same second so frightfully fast it goes! in the very same second I shall be infinitely far away in a different place where still within the same second frightful speed! the question will be put to me: “Hast thou uttered the definite message quite definitely” And if I have not done so what then. There is something quite definite I have to say. But verily I am not eager to say it. On the contrary I would so infinitely prefer that another should say it— which however would not help me since as I understand it it was and remains my task. For it is not a cheerful message this definitive thing and I cannot but think that there are several persons dear to me to whom it would be unwelcome to hear it said. Above all there is a right reverend old man a consideration which has constantly held me back laid a restraint upon my tongue and upon my pen a consideration for the highest dignitary of the Church a man to whom by the memory of a deceased father I felt myself drawn with an almost melancholic affection—and I must think that to him especially it will be very unwelcome that this is said.” Pap. X 6 B: 371. This excellently sums up one the one hand the necessity Kierkegaard felt in saying what needed to be said about the state of Christianity in Denmark and on the other hand why he was reluctant to say it. He knew it would offend but most of all hurt especially Mynster for whom he still had great affection. At the same time it was also Bishop Mynster who was responsible for the approach Kierkegaard considered so dangerous to true Christianity the person who personified the weak and complacent established “official” Christianity that disregarded the true Christianity of The New Testament – the kind of tame Christianity in which the priests tell the congregation what they want to hear. What was he to do Kierkegaard’s journals and papers are full of entries that reflect the conundrum. The defining moment occurred when Mynster had died which happened on January 30th 1854. The Sunday before the funeral Professor of Theology H.L. Martensen Court Preacher at Christiansborg Slotskirke gave a commemorative sermon for Mynster in which he included him in a series of holy men going back to the apostles and called him a “witness to the truth” and a “martyr” in Danish “Blodvidne”. Kierkegaard could not take it. He finally broke his silence and protested with an article in The Fatherland where he called Mynster a “frail pleasure-seeker who was great only as an orator” and presented his own version of a “witness to the truth” namely “A witness to the truth a real witness to the truth is a man who is skinned alive abused dragged from one prison to the next and in the end … crucified beheaded burned at the stake or fried on a grill his soulless body left unburied and sprawling … in some remote place—that’s how a witness to the truth is buried!” Var Biskop Myster et ”Sandhedsvidne”â€¦ December 18 1854. And thus the crusade against the established Danish Church had begun. Kierkegaard continued his fight against Martensen against the priests against the official Christianity of Denmark and against the Church in articles in The Fatherland. And most importantly he started his own periodical “The Moment” which was to become extremely influential and today towers as a monument over the greatest crisis the Danish Church has ever found itself in. In “The Moment” Kierkegaard polemicized against the church and its worldly priesthood with both sharpness and wit. He insisted that the authorities of the church admit that true Christianity was disappearing. Kierkegaard would intensify his attacks over the course of “The Moment”. He accused the priests of failing to convert their tear-filled sermons on Sundays into existential practice on Mondays. He called them “bourgeois theologians of convenience” and accused them of being primarily interested in idyllic parsonages feel good Christianity and lucrative advancements calling the priests lumped together an “epitome of nonsense shrouded in long gowns!” He rallied against the church claiming it ought to be closed or torn down and threw mud on the rituals of baptism confirmation and marriage. In “The Moment” this was done so humorously that Kierkegaard managed to win over part of the population. But his fierce attack upon the official Christianity of Denmark caused much more indignation scandal and contradiction than approval. Although Kierkegaard’s illness and soon to follow death on November 11 ended Kierkegaard’s writing and continued attacks it did not end the storm on the Church that the epigons continued. Kierkegaard’s authorship before 1851 had made him famous in both Denmark and abroad as one of the greatest living philosophers and theologians. His attack on official Christianity however had a more direct effect upon his own kingdom but also upon the neighbouring countries Norway Sweden and Germany. Kierkegaard’s Church Feud continued for years after his death and kept affecting the Church severely. One must remember that this fierce attack came from one of the most respected thinkers of the period – of all periods – and it came from within not from an atheist. It came from a believer a more profound believer than most. Kierkegaard only had part of “The Moment” in his possession when he died namely 3 4 and 7 together Auction Catalogue no. 2187-89.

VIII 383 pp. 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. hardcover

Om Begrebet Ironi med stadigt hensyn til Socrates. Af S. A. Kierkegaard. - KIERKEGAARD’S DISSERTATION IN THE ORIGINAL BINDING WHICH IS OF THE UTMOST SCARCITY.

1841ref. 62112Kjøbenhavn P.G. Philipsens Forlag 1841. 8vo. 4 350 pp. 1 f. blank 2 pp. advertisements. Completely uncut and partly unopened in the original brown cardboard binding. Rebacked with paper perfectly matching that of the boards. Corners restored. Title-page evenly browned and a few leaves with a bit of brownspotting but overall in unusually nice condition clean fresh and bright. Completely unmarked. A fabulous copy of the first edition of Kierkegaard’s dissertation here in the original binding which is of the utmost scarcity. We have only seen it in this state once before. And of all the copies we have handled of the Irony over the last decades we have only once before come across a copy with the advertisement-leaf in the back. This is virtually never present. This completely uncut copy is approximately 1 cm taller and wider than regular copies. The spines of the original Kierkegaard cardboard bindings are always just thin paper directly glued on the block making them extremely fragile especially on the thicker volumes. If one finds these original bindings the spines are almost always more or less disintegrated. 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 hadto petition the King to be granted permission to submit it in Danish rather than Latin. This in itself poses as certain irony as the young Kierkegaard was known to express himself poorly and very long-winded in written Danish. One of Kierkegaard’s only true friends his school friend H.P. Holst recounts in 1869 how the two had a special school friendship and working relationship in which Kierkegaard wrote Latin compositions for Holst while Holst wrote Danish compositions for Kierkegaard who “expressed himself in a hopelessly Latin Danish crawling with participial phrases and extraordinarily complicatedsentences” Garff p. 139. When Kierkegaard in 1838 was ready to publish his famous piece on Hans Christian Andersen see nr. 1 & 2 above which was to appear in Heiberg’s journal Perseus Heiberg had agreed to publish the piece although he had some severe critical comments about the way and the form in which it was written – if it were to appear in Perseus Heiberg demanded at the very least the young Kierkegaard would have to submit it in a reasonably readable Danish. “Kierkegaard therefore turned to his old schoolmate H. P. Holst and asked him to do something with the languageâ€¦” Garff p. 139. From their school days Holst was well aware of the problem with Kierkegaard’s Danish and he recounts that over the summer he actually “translated” Kierkegaard’s article on Andersen into proper Danish. The oral defense was conducted in Latin however. The judges all agreed that the work submitted was both intelligent and noteworthy. But they were concerned about its style which was found to be both tasteless long-winded and idiosyncratic. We already here witness Kierkegaard’s idiosyncratic approach to content and style that is so characteristic for all of his greatest works. Both stylistically and thematically Kierkegaard’s 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 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. With irony we will be able to embrace the not knowing. We need to question the world knowing we may not find an answer. The moment we stop questioning and just accept the easy answers we succumb to ignorance. We must use irony to laugh at ourselves in order to improve ourselves and to laugh at society in order to improve the world. The work was submitted to the Philosophical Faculty at the University of Copenhagen on June 3rd 1841. Kierkegaard had asked for his dissertation to be ready from the printer’s in ample time for him to defend it before the new semester commenced. This presumably because he had already planned his sojourn to Berlin to hear the master philosopher Schelling. On September 16th the book was issued and on September 29th the defense would take place. The entire defense including a two hour long lunch break took seven hours during which ”an unusually full auditorium” would listen to the official opponents F.C. Sibbern and P.O. Brøndsted as well as the seven “ex auditorio” opponents F.C. Petersen J.L. Heiberg P.C. Kierkegaard Fr. Beck F.P.J. Dahl H .J.Thue og C.F. Christens not to mention Kierkegaard himself. Two weeks later on October 12th Kierkegaard broke off his engagement with Regine Olsen for the implications of this event see the section about Regine in vol. II. The work 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. The present copy is one of the sales-copies without theses.

Sygdommen til Døden. En Christelig psychologisk Udvikling til Opbyggelse og Opvækkelse. Af Anti-Climacus. Udgivet af S. Kierkegaard. - FABULOUS COPY IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS

1849ref. 63617Kjøbenhavn Reitzel 1849. 8vo. 8 136 pp. Uncut in the original printed wrappers. The front wrapper with the text of the title-page all except the year repeated inside a double-line border inside which a line-border with ornamental corner-pieces. Back-wrapper with the year inside the same frame. Excellently rebacked and with a closed tear to the front wrapper. Wrappers with light brownspotting. Some brownspotting mostly to first and last leaves. With the ownership signature of Henning Kehler to front free end-paper. A magnificent copy of the first edition in the extremely rare original wrappers with a very interesting provenance. Sickness unto Death is one of the main works of Christian existentialism. It is this monumental work which introduces the new pseudonym of Anti-Climacus that we find Kierkegaard’s concept of despair and it is here that he develops his theory of “the sin of despair”. Together with Training in Christianity Kierkegaard considered Sickness Unto Death ”the most valuable I have produced” and indeed many consider this work the most perfect of all of his works. Here Christianity is expressed in its most idealized form. Kierkegaard suffered daily from worries that publishing the work would convey that he was himself an ideal Christian and he long left it unpublished. Finally after more than a year of worries and considerations he decided that as with his major philosophical works this too would have a pseudonymous author and himself merely as the publisher. The pseudonym here however had another purpose than the earlier ones. Instead of deceiving or qualifying the work esthetically the pseudonym is chosen for Kierkegaard not to present himself as the perfect Christian. He chose a new pseudonym that perfectly contrasted the author of Philosophical Fragments and Concluding Unscientific Postscript Johannes Climacus who did not see himself as a Christian namely Johannes Anti-Climacus and finally after more than a year of hesitation Kierkegaard could publish his religious masterpiece with peace of mind. “Anti-Climacus is also the author of Practice in Christianity. He might be considered the author of Kierkegaard’s greatest religious works just as Johannes Climacus is the author of the great pseudonymous esthetic works. H. Hong remarks “The prefix Anti- does not mean ‘against.’ An old form of ‘ante’ before as in ‘anticipate’ the prefix denotes a relation of rank as in ‘before me’ in the First Commandment”. In his journals Kierkegaard said “Climacus is lower denies he is a Christian. Anti-Climacus is higher a Christian on an extraordinarily high level”. Kierkegaard considered this work and Practice in Christianity to be among his most important. The Sickness Unto Death is a companion piece to the Concept of Anxiety which is also a “psychological” work and moves beyond the earlier preliminary psychological considerations of anxiety in the face of freedom or anxiety derived from and leading to sin. Like its companion this work is short but very dense. Here Kierkegaard considers the spiritual aspects of despair. As anxiety is related to the ethical despair is related to the religious that is to the eternal.” D. Anthony Storm Commentary on Kierkegaard. Kehler Henning 1891-1979 was a critic journalist and book collector. He was an important literary critic and especially influential in the years between to two world wars where he excelled in sharp conservative criticism of contemporary affairs. He wished to revitalize Danish culture and was worried about the contemporary materialism and lack of God. Kehler’s collection broadly focused on Danish literature included a significant collection of Kierkegaard. The present copy is no. 71 in Girsel's "Kierkegaard" The Catalogue which can be found here. unknown
