| Oct 23, 2017 at 2:35 | comment | added | Gordon | The first link I posted up there is a "commentary" on Either/Or, but the writer seems to wonder around a bit before he gets down to business. Maybe it will be of some help. | |
| Oct 23, 2017 at 1:27 | comment | added | Gordon | archive.org/details/jstor-2178253 This a paper on Internet Archive, on Kierkegaard's project. I still think you will be able to understand Kierkegaard without going back to learn Hegel. There are other books on internet archive regarding Kierkegaard, but many have to be "checked out", and I don't know if that is a problem or not. | |
| Oct 23, 2017 at 0:53 | comment | added | Gordon | Either/or is the principle of non-contradiction I believe. Hegel moves, that he does, he is always surmounting contradictions, sublating them, rising up to the next level. Kierkegaard doesn't move. (Actually he does, he sublated his lost love into literature, but never mind). Though I highly respect your philosophical instincts, maybe you should start with some secondary literature on Kierkegaard, an introduction if you can find one. Don't give up! | |

| Oct 22, 2017 at 15:28 | comment | added | Mauro ALLEGRANZA | Difficult passage... We can remember Kierkegaard's 1841 doctoral thesis: On the Concept of Irony with Continual Reference to Socrates. It seems to me that we can simply read it as an ironic reference to Hegel's dialectic. | |
| Oct 22, 2017 at 9:24 | comment | added | Mauro ALLEGRANZA | Enten-eller means "Either/or"; and thus you are right at suggesting Hegel's dialectic: a process based on opposition with a conclusion that is not a contradiction. | |
