| Summary |
"Either/Or is Kierkegaard's first major work and arguably his most virtuosic. This critical guide strikes new ground in our understanding of both the work and Kierkegaard's authorship as a whole, with substantial discussions of issues in aesthetics, epistemology, ethics, metaphysics, phenomenology, and philosophy of religion"-- Provided by publisher |
