- Title
On Kierkegaard's Literary Will.
- Authors
Harrits, Flemming
- Abstract
Reflecting on KierkegaardÌs literary activities as a whole, this essay is an interpretation of On My Work as an Author (1851). It analyses the double structure of this whole - on the one hand, the experimental, hetoronymous publications, beyond a then-current praxis of pseudonymity, and on the other hand, the tradition- bound, autonymous works - as a new way of writing. Its methods are based on a distinction between indirect and direct communication, looked at from aesthetic, ethical, and religious angles. The development of KierkegaardÌs literary activities is presented in four phases as an approximation to simplicity, and is discussed along with intensions in a historical doubleness of modernism and anti-modernism in the nineteenth century.
