S ren Kierkegaard, the nineteenth-century Danish philosopher rediscovered in the twentieth century, is a major influence in contemporary philosophy, religion, and literature.
The poetic-reflective creations of a master stylist and imaginative impersonator, the two men write in distinctive ways appropriate to their respective positions..
The resolution of the Either/Or is left to the reader, for there is no Part III until the appearance of Stages on Life\'s Way .
Part II is an older friend\'s or, the ethical life of integrated, authentic personhood, elaborated in discussions of personal becoming and of marriage.
The seeming miscellany is a reflective presentation of aspects of the either, the esthetic view of life.
The ironical young man\'s papers include a collection of sardonic aphorisms; essays on Mozart, modern drama, and boredom; and The Seducer\'s Diary.
The pseudonymous volumes of Either/Or are the writings of a young man (I) and of Judge William (II).
He regarded Either/Or as the beginning of his authorship, although he had published two earlier works on Hans Christian Andersen and irony.
