Original cloth with wrappers; p. x 387 xvi 304; a little sunning to spines chipping to top edges of jackets previous owner's bookplate to ffeps otherwise very good.Second English language edition. The first was in 1944 101 years after the work's first publication in Denmark as Enten-Eller. In 1841 the 28 year old Kierkegaard made the brave but unhappy choice to break off his brief engagement to Regine Olsen for reasons which are still obscure. The making of this decision this act of resolution lit in him the spark behind this bold work which sees Kierkegaard pitting two sides of his personality against each other the aesthete of the first volume being at odds with the ethicist of the second. This was an attack on rather than an affirmation of Hegelian synthesis and one of the founding works of Existentialist philosophy: ""Choice.was at the root of Kierkegaard's theory. There can be no system of existence only a system of ideas. From this he develops his thesis of 'Existence'. in which human beings considered as subjects not objects are the only real existence: the reflective as opposed to active nature being focused on the 'acts' of making perpetual decisions"" PMM 314.Being produced just after the war and subject to paper rationing the plain dustwrappers are printed on the reverse of very colourful blue and yellow dustwrappers for The Grand Book of Girls. A less complementary work it is hard to imagine. hardcover

This work which contrasts ethical and aesthetic attitudes towards life established his reputation as an important thinker. "Published in two volumes in 1843 Either/Or is an influential book written by the Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard exploring the aesthetic and ethical 'phases' or 'stages' of existence. Either/Or portrays two life views one consciously hedonistic the other based on ethical duty and responsibility. Each life view is written and represented by a fictional pseudonymous author the prose of the work depending on the life view being discussed. For example the aesthetic life view is written in short essay form with poetic imagery and allusions discussing aesthetic topics such as music seduction drama and beauty. The ethical life view is written as two long letters with a more argumentative and restrained prose discussing moral responsibility critical reflection and marriage. The views of the book are not neatly summarized but are expressed as lived experiences embodied by the pseudonymous authors. The book's central concern is the primal question asked by Aristotle 'How should we live''" -- Wikipedia ABOUT THE AUTHOR: "Soren Aabye Kierkegaard 5 May 1813 - 11 November 1855 was a prolific 19th century Danish philosopher and theologian. Kierkegaard strongly criticised both the Hegelianism of his time and what he saw as the empty formalities of the Church of Denmark. Much of his work deals with religious themes such as faith in God the institution of the Christian Church Christian ethics and theology and the emotions and feelings of individuals when faced with life choices. His early work was written under various pseudonyms who present their own distinctive viewpoints in a complex dialogue. Kierkegaard left the task of discovering the meaning of his works to the reader because "the task must be made difficult for only the difficult inspires the noble-hearted". Scholars have interpreted Kierkegaard variously as an existentialist neo-orthodoxist postmodernist humanist and individualist. Crossing the boundaries of philosophy theology psychology and literature he is an influential figure in contemporary thought. Princeton University Press hardcover

Inside of front board with previous owner’s neat pencil annotation explaining that this is the copy that Kierkegaard sent to Heiberg with the wish of having it expedited to the author of Two Ages alias Thomasine Gyllembourg. First edition magnificent copy in original silver-gift binding with all likelihood be the copy that Kierkegaard intended for Thomasine Gyllembourg mediated by Heiberg. Having finished his “first” authorship with his monumental “Unscientific Concluding Postscript” the “Literary Review of Thomasine Gyllembourg’s Two Ages” invokes Kierkegaard’s second authorship. The Literary Review is a classic within the conservative critique of modern society. It is here that Kierkegaard presents his most concise and significant analysis of modern society as it shows itself through the press in the relationship between public authorities and the subjects. The work was printed amidst the Corsair-Affair which was a defining event in Kierkegaard’s life and work. Having been unbearably ridiculed in periodical The Corsair since January 1846 Kierkegaard uses his Literary Review of Two Ages printed March 30th 1846 to convey his thoughts on the public and the individual’s relationship to it. Thomasine Gyllembourg was the mother of Johan Ludvig Heiberg and a magnificent author herself. She was one of the most productive authors of the Danish Golden Age despite having had her debut late in life at the age of 53. She was the founder of Danish feminist literature writing about the position of women in society and in the home. Her novel “Two Ages” portrays one of her eminent Madonna figures Claudine who despite her status as seduced and abandoned single mother stays true to herself her beliefs and her role as a mother. Claudine’s sexual liberty of the Revolutionary age is contrasted to the gentle and modest heroine of the present age whose identity is in caring for the home. As such Two Ages opposes the ideals of freedom from the age of the French Revolution with the bourgeois ideals of the Golden Age. In his review Kierkegaard is mainly concerned with the contrast between the two ages in the novel – that of The French Revolution and that contemporary with the novel. Expressed with Kierkegaard’s concepts the age of revolution is passionate and the present age dispassionate; Kierkegaard ends up attacking the conformity of the present age and the de-individualization of people into an abstract public. The inanimate beliefs and views of the present age become especially fatal in the daily press. As a reader one is no longer a passionate individual but part of an anonymous and diffuse public audience. Not until the single individual has established an ethical stance to the whole world as it is can there be any question of genuinely uniting. This is a clear reference to the ridicule Kierkegaard himself experienced due to the Corsair and a harsh verdict upon the Copenhagen audience. But it is not only Kierkegaard’s characterization of mass media that has made “A Literary Review” a conservative classic within the critique of modern society so has Kierkegaard’s description of how the dispassionate age has subverted all social hierarchies and put into question all the relative strength of the different powers of society. This magnificent work is one of Kierkegaard’s most political and that which gives us his clearest analysis of modern society. Two presentation-copies of the work have been registered one for Giødwad one for Madvig and Kierkegaard had one copy in his library which was sold at the auction of his books after he died. We also know that Kierkegaard gave a copy to Johan Ludvig Heiberg in his capacity of publisher of Two Ages” to pass on to the anonymous author of the work who as we know happened to be Heiberg’s mother. The provenance although it seems likely has not been definitively established. We know that the copy belonged to Karl Madsen as it has his ex libris and we know that he bought a good deal of Mrs. Heiberg’s books after she died among them quite a few gift-and presentation-copies from Kierkegaard to Heiberg see Gert Posselt’s Preface in Girsel's Kierkegaard-catalogue p. 13. It is also clear that the book is in a gift-binding and is bound exactly like Kierkegaard’s own copy of the book. See Aarbog for Bogvenner 1925 where Karl Madsen describes how he came to buy a large part of the books from Mrs. Heiberg and also mentions Kierkegaard presentation-copies. But the present copy is not mentioned specifically. The present copy is no. 50 in Girsel's "Kierkegaard" The Catalogue which can be found here. unknown
