I&#;ve mentioned in several earlier posts that I am working on a book entitled Fear and Dissembling on the controversy surrounding Joakim Garff’s book Søren Kierkegaard: A Biography(Princeton, ). It will begin with the initial reception of Garff&#;s book upon its publication in and then the controversy that arose in the summer of when another scholar, Peter Tudvad, exposed the book as riddled with factual errors and passages that had been plagiarized from earlier biographies of Kierkegaard. The book will be comprised primarily of English translations of articles from Danish newspapers. There were a couple of reviews, however, that appeared in scholarly journals. I’ve translated both of them and have received permission from the authors to publish excerpts from them on this blog. What follows are a three sections excerpted from a review of by the Danish scholar Johan de Mylius, of the University of Southern Denmark, that appeared in the journal Nordika vol. 19 (). De Mylius’ review was written before the revelations about the errors and plagiarisms were made public in the summer of , so the review takes no account of them, but comments on what the reviewer sees as the inher
Sand hjælpekunst
Søren Kierkegaard har beskrevet det at ville hjælpe andre som ”den sande hjælpekunst
”At man, når det i sandhed skal lykkes en at føre et menneske hen til et bestemt sted, først og fremmest må passe på at finde ham der, hvor han er og begynde der.
Dette er hemmeligheden i al hjælpekunst, enhver, der ikke kan det, er selv en indbildning, når han mener at kunne hjælpe andre.
For i sandhed at kunne hjælpe en anden må jeg forstå mere end han, men først og fremmest forstå det, han forstår.
Når jeg ikke gør det, så hjælper min merforståelse ham slet ikke.
Vil jeg alligevel gøre min merforståelse gældende, er det fordi jeg er forfængelig eller stolt.
At jeg i grunden i stedet for at gavne ham egentlig vil beundres af ham, men al sand hjælp begynder med ydmygelse. Hjælperen må først ydmyge sig under den, han vil hjælpe og derved forstå, at det at hjælpe ikke er at herske, men at tjene, at det at hjælpe ikke er at være den herskesyge
Søren Kierkegaard: A Biography
"The day will come when not only my writings, but precisely my life--the intriguing secret of all the machinery--will be studied and studied." Søren Kierkegaard's remarkable combination of genius and peculiarity made this a fair if arrogant prediction. But Kierkegaard's life has been notoriously hard to study, so complex was the web of fact and fiction in his work. Joakim Garff's biography of Kierkegaard is thus a landmark achievement. A seamless blend of history, philosophy, and psychological insight, all conveyed with novelistic verve, this is the most comprehensive and penetrating account yet written of the life and works of the enigmatic Dane who changed the course of intellectual history.
Garff portrays Kierkegaard not as the all-controlling impresario behind some of the most important works of modern philosophy and religious thought--books credited with founding existentialism and prefiguring postmodernism--but rather as a man whose writings came to control him. Kierkegaard saw himself as a vessel for his writings, a tool in the hand of God, and eventually as a martyr singled out to call for the end of "Christendom." Garff explores t
Søren Kierkegaard : l&#;angoisse de faire un choix
Søren Kierkegaard, né le 5 mai et mort le 11 novembre à Copenhague, est un théologien, philosophe, écrivain et poète danois protestant, dont l’œuvre est considérée comme une première forme de l&#;existentialisme chrétien.
Son œuvre est constituée de textes critiques sur la religion organisée, le christianisme, la morale, l&#;éthique, la psychologie, la philosophie religieuse, et montre un goût pour la métaphore, l&#;ironie et les paraboles. Une grande partie de son travail traite de la manière dont on vit en tant qu&#;individu unique, donnant la priorité à la réalité humaine concrète sur la pensée abstraite et soulignant l&#;importance du choix et de l&#;engagement personnel.
Parmi les idées clés de Kierkegaard figurent le concept de vérités subjectives et objectives, le souvenir et la reprise, l&#;angoisse, la distinction qualitative infinie, la foi comme passion, les trois étapes de la vie.
Le concept d’angoisse
Søren Kierkegaard explore la nature de l&#;angoisse et son rapport à la liberté humaine. L&#;ouvrage se compose de deux parties, la première abordant la nature de l&#;angoisse, la seconde exp
