Acta Kierkegaardiana Volume V
Kierkegaard East and West
This volume of Acta Kierkegaardiana seeks to guide the reader across the global nature of Kierkegaard studies, from East to West. The essays in the first part of the volume attempt to expand the horizon of Kierkegaard scholarship, by publishing a set of papers representing South and East Asia. The result, one would like to hope, is the discovery of a new land of Kierkegaard study, a fertile ground with rich natural resources. In the second part of the volume our authors continue the attempt to better situate and understand Kierkegaard in the Western intellectual, theological, and philosophical, tradition. In this they aim to both place Kierkegaard in the context of the more general intellectual movements in which his thought was formed, as well as assess its importance and significance for us today. These articles, taken together, bear testament to the continuing capability of Kierkegaard’s writings to speak to, and provoke, scholars from many different cultural and intellectual backgrounds.
