(Philosophical Fragments or Fragments of Philosophy), C. A. Reitzel, Kjøbenhavn, 1844. TP + [3]-164, 12mo. First Edition (Himmelstrup 62)."An 'objective' treatment of Christianity and of man's relation to spiritual truth... Kierkegaard offer a philosophy of scraps or of what is scrapped in opposition to idealism and systematics. As against the idealistic tradition from Plato through Fichte and Hegel, which holds that man possesses an inward truth or an immediate awareness of the divine, Kierkegaard sees humanity in a state of sin and untruth...The most didactic of the aesthetic works, though still treating the thorniest problems of Western Philosophy with unrivaled elegance. Kierkegaard anticipates one of the key themes of 20th Century thought, that of 'the other' or the remainder, residue or unassimilable as sounded variously in the works of Adorno, Levinas, Derrida, Lyotard, etc." (Wronoski, p. 15)CONDITION: Very good+ in original paper wrappers.
