This category includes articles which carry out source-work research in order to discover and document the numerous sources of Kierkegaard’s thought. These are divided into individual volumes according to the country or historical period of the sources in question.
 

The articles are based on a close study of the commentary volumes of the new critical edition of Kierkegaard’s works,
Søren Kierkegaards Skrifter.

The authors have been asked to present the featured source and then catalogue the various places in Kierkegaard’s corpus where he makes use of it. Finally, an attempt is made to give a general characterization of the importance and influence of the source for Kierkegaard. The hope is that these articles will constitute the natural point of departure for any future investigation into the issue in question.

This part of the series is conceived, on the one hand, as a kind of reference work, which attempts to set forth factual information about specific places in Kierkegaard’s authorship where he quotes or alludes to the given figures or themes. It is, on the other hand, also a critical work, which features thesis-oriented and interpretive essays about Kierkegaard’s reception of the given figures in a way that stimulates further research.
