Kierkegaard's Writings, V, Volume 5: Eighteen Upbuilding Discourses

Description

There is much to be learned philosophically from this volume, but philosophical instruction was not Kierkegaard's aim here, except in the broad sense of self-knowledge and deepened awareness. Indicating the intention of the discourses, the titles include' The Expectancy of Faith, ' Love Will Hide a Multitude of Sins, ' Strengthening in the Inner Being, ' 'To Gain One's Soul In Patience, ' Patience in Expectancy, ' and' Against Cowardliness.'

"The definitive edition of the Writings. The first volume ... indicates the scholarly value of the entire series: an introduction setting the work in the context of Kierkegaard's development; a remarkably clear translation; and concluding sections of intelligent notes."--Library Journal
