Volume 8:
Kierkegaard's International Reception
Although Kierkegaard’s reception was initially more or less limited to Scandinavia, it has for a long time now been a highly international affair. As his writings were translated into different languages his reputation spread, and he became read more and more by people increasingly distant from his native Denmark. While in Scandinavia, the attack on the Church in the last years of his life became something of a cause célèbre, later, many different aspects of his work became the object of serious scholarly investigation well beyond the original northern borders. As his reputation grew, he was co-opted by a number of different philosophical and religious movements in different contexts throughout the world. The three tomes of the present volume attempt to record the history of this reception according to national and linguistic categories.
Tome I: Northern and Western Europe
Tome I covers the reception of Kierkegaard in Northern and Western Europe. The articles on Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland can be said to trace Kierkegaard’s influence more or less in its native Nordic Protestant context. Since the authors in these countries (with the exception of Finland) were not dependent on translations or other intermediaries, this represents the earliest tradition of Kierkegaard reception. The early German translations of his works opened the door for the next, broader phase of Kierkegaard’s reception. The articles in the section on Western Europe trace his influence in the German-speaking world, Great Britain, France, and the Dutch-speaking world. All of these have their own extensive tradition of Kierkegaard reception.
Part II: Western Europe
Tome II: Southern, Central and Eastern Europe
Tome II covers the reception of Kierkegaard in Southern, Central and Eastern Europe. The first set of articles, under the rubric “Southern Europe,” covers Portugal, Spain, and Italy. A number of common features were shared in these countries’ reception of Kierkegaard, including a Catholic cultural context and a debt to the French reception. The next rubric covers the rather heterogeneous group of countries designated here as “Central Europe”: Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland. These countries are loosely bound in a cultural sense by their former affiliation with the Habsburg Empire and in a religious sense by their shared Catholicism. Finally, the Orthodox countries of “Eastern Europe” are represented with articles on Russia, Bulgaria, Serbia and Montenegro, Macedonia, and Romania.
Part II: Central Europe
Part III: Eastern Europe
Tome III: The Near East, Asia, Australia and
Tome III is the most geographically diverse, covering the Near East, Asia, Australia and the Americas. The section on the Near East features pioneering articles on the Kierkegaard reception in Israel, Turkey, Iran, and the Arab world. The next section dubbed “Asia and Australia” features articles on the long and rich traditions of Kierkegaard research in Japan and Korea along with the more recent ones in China and Australia. A final section is dedicated to the Americas with articles on Canada, the United States, hispanophone South America, Mexico and Brazil.
