Three Discourses on Imagined Occasions was the last of seven works
signed by Kierkegaard and published simultaneously with an anonymously
authored companion piece. Imagined Occasions both complements and
stands in contrast to Kierkegaard's pseudonymously published Stages on
Life's Way. The two volumes not only have a chronological relation but
treat some of the same distinct themes. The first of the three
discourses, "On the Occasion of a Confession," centers on stillness,
wonder, and one's search for God--in contrast to the speechmaking on
erotic love in "In Vino Veritas," part one of Stages. The second
discourse, "On the Occasion of a Wedding," complements the second part
of Stages, in which Judge William delivers a panegyric on marriage.
The third discourse, "At a Graveside," sharpens the ethical and
religious earnestness implicit in Stages's "'Guilty'/'Not Guilty'" and
completes this collection.
