I would like to write a novel in which the main character would be a
man who got a pair of glasses, one lens of which reduced images as
powerfully as an oxyhydrogen microscope, and the other of which
magnified on the same scale, so that he perceived everything
relatively. ? A flight of fancy by an aspiring science fiction writer?
While it may sound as such, this wistful musing is one of the
little-discussed personal reflections of nineteenth-century
philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, whose remarkable journals and
notebooks, unpublished during his lifetime, are presented here. The
first of an eleven-volume series produced by Copenhagen's Søren
Kierkegaard Research Centre, this volume is the first English
translation and commentary of Kierkegaard's journals based on
up-to-date scholarship. It offers new insight into Kierkegaard's inner
life. In addition to early drafts of his published works, the journals
contain his thoughts on current events and philosophical and
theological matters, notes on books he was reading, miscellaneous
jottings, and ideas for future literary projects. Kierkegaard wrote
his journals in a two-column format, one for his initial entries and
the second for the marginal comments he added later. The new edition
of the journals reproduces this format and contains photographs of
original manuscript pages, as well as extensive scholarly commentary.
Translated by leading experts on Kierkegaard, Journals and Notebooks
will become the benchmark for all future Kierkegaard scholarship.
