Everybody's Kierkegaard
By W.W. Bartley III
The Last Years: Journals 1853-1855
by Sören Kierkegaard, edited and translated by Ronald Gregor Smith
Harper & Row, 384 pp., $6.95
With the appearance of this part of Kierkegaard's Journals, all but one of his published works are now translated into English. The remaining work, his master's thesis, On the Concept of Irony, is scheduled to appear this year, and some unpublished letters and papers have been commissioned for translation. So unless one counts some selections published as a University of Texas bulletin in 1923, it has taken less than thirty years to render practically the entire corpus into English: The first important publications—Alexander Dru's selections from the Journals and Walter Lowrie's extensive quotations in his biography Kierkegaard—both appeared in 1938.
