Book
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. A Doubleday Anchor Original (Anchor A181a & A181b). These translations were originally published by Princeton University Press in 1944. Cover & typography by Edward Gorey. Bright mass market paperbacks, unread, in Very Good condition (very minor wear) w/sharp corners & crisp edges, square & tight bindings w/no creases in spines & light foxing on text heads. "Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855), the Danish philosopher, is a major influence in contemporary existentialist philosophy. In his work he dealt with three levels of existence---the aesthetic, ethical, and religious---and the first two of these were his primary concern in his first great work, EITHER/OR (1843). This book, which appeared pseudonymously, purports to contain the papers of two men. One is a young man who, in aphorisms, essays, lyrical outbursts, and the famous 'Diary of a Seducer,' brilliantly presents the pleasures of aesthetic life. The other is an older man, who writes letters discussing marriage and selfhood in which he tries to convince his young friend of the superiority of the ethical life. Kierkegaard indicates no choice between the two views; the reader is left to make his own decision. EITHER/OR, published shortly after Kierkegaard had broken his engagement, a crucial event in his life, is an extraordinary self-portrait of a great thinker." [cover copy] Notes & Indexes. Very Good paperbacks in great condition for being 62 years old; some minor age mottling on the Gorey covers makes way for very good & clear interiors, unmarked & quite presentable.
