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

Back-wrapper with the year inside the same frame. Excellently rebacked and with a closed tear to the front wrapper. Wrappers with light brownspotting.

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

Excellent copy of the first edition in the original gift-binding presumably being one of the five copies that Kierkegaard had in his possession when he died. This is with all likelihood one of the copies Kierkegaard had bound to give away but then never did meaning that it was to be found in the auction of his books after he died. Only one buyer of any of the five copies he had in his collection was registered the other four are registered as having paid cash and are not registered by name. This is presumably one of those four copies possibly bought by Bredsdorff who was out of a family of priests and himself became a theologian.
