He regarded \u003ci\u003eEither\/Or\u003c\/i\u003e as the beginning of his authorship, although he had published two earlier works on Hans Christian Andersen and irony. The pseudonymous volumes of \u003ci\u003eEither\/Or\u003c\/i\u003e are the writings of a young man (I) and of Judge William (II). The ironical young man's papers include a collection of sardonic aphorisms; essays on Mozart, modern drama, and boredom; and \"The Seducer's Diary.\" The seeming miscellany is a reflective presentation of aspects of the \"either,\" the esthetic view of life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part II is an older friend's \"or,\" the ethical life of integrated, authentic personhood, elaborated in discussions of personal becoming and of marriage. The resolution of the \"either\/or\" is left to the reader, for there is no Part III until the appearance of \u003ci\u003eStages on Life's Way\u003c\/i\u003e. The poetic-reflective creations of a master stylist and imaginative impersonator, the two men write in distinctive ways appropriate to their respective positions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sen Kierkegaard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691020426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691020426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/1988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 536\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 5.47w x 1.34d","brand":"Sen Kierkegaard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046335508735,"sku":"9780691020426","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_998ac7d4-80f2-44eb-9cb5-4d4206028615.jpg?v=1684983978","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kierkegaards-writings-iv-part-ii-sren-kierkegaard-9780691020426","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
