- Title
Kierkegaard and the Ingenious Creature: Authorial Unity and Co-Authorship in On My Work as an Author.
- Authors
Westfall, Joseph
- Abstract
This article reads On My Work as an Author as presenting an understanding of the Kierkegaardian authorship as operating according to a specifically Kierkegaardian notion of co-authorship. By examining apparently contradictory interpretive elements of On My Work as an Author - one of which moves in the direction of authorial unity in the authorship, and the other of which presupposes a fundamental disunity - we come to see the need for a more complex idea of the author, and of Kierkegaard, than the workÌs explicit advocacy of simplicity - the goal of both Christianity and the Kierkegaardian authorship - seems to imply.
