Description
After deciding to terminate his authorship with the pseudonymous "Concluding Unscientific Postscript", Kierkegaard composed reviews as a means of writing without being an author. This work comments on the Danish novel "Two Ages", which contrasts the mentality of the age of the French Revolution with that of the subsequent epoch of rationalism.
Reviews
"These new translations are excellent."--Choice "The definitive edition of the Writings. The first volume ... indicates the scholarly value of the entire series: an introduction setting the work in the context of Kierkegaard's development; a remarkably clear translation; and concluding sections of intelligent notes."--Library Journal
