This collection of essays on Kierkegaard consists of various articles published in academic journals over the course of several decades. They address dominant and consistent themes in Kierkegaard's authorship, demonstrating the importance of these topics for understanding his authorship as a whole and for contemporary discussions of these issues. In particular, these articles seek to bring his thought into conversation with woman and gender studies in contemporary feminist philosophy and hermeneutics as well as other forms of interpretation. Many of the essays appeared in the International Kierkegaard Commentary edited by fellow Kierkegaard scholar, Robert L. Perkins, and it is in his memory that they are dedicated.
Sylvia Walsh taught philosophy and religion at Emory University and Clark College in Atlanta, Georgia, and at Stetson University in DeLand, Florida. She is the author of four books on Kierkegaard, coeditor and translator of his Fear and Trembing (Cambridge University Press), editor and translator of his Discourses at the Communion on Fridays (Indiana University Press), and coeditor of Feminist Interpretations of Søren Kierkegaard (Penn State).
