Kierkegaard Studies Yearbook 1998

This volume represents an international documentation of contributions to research, seminars and new editions from the Kierkegaard Research Centre in Copenhagen. It is dedicated to "Works of Love" which, until recently, had been neglected in mainstream Kierkegaard research. It brings together a number of articles on this work by leading Kierkegaard experts. Some of the articles contain close readings and analyses of the primary text, while others try to situate it in a more general context by using it as an occasion for comparing Kierkegaard with other thinkers such as Habermas, Adorno and Levinas. "Yearbook" also includes: a series of specialized review articles which provide an overview of the reception of "Works of Love" in the different countries and language groups; other articles on other topics and texts from the work of scholars at the Soren Kierkegaard Research Centre; and articles related to the new critical edition of Kierkegaard's works, which is currently being produced by the Centre.
