Diese interdisziplinäre Anthologie interpretiert Kierkegaard im Kontext des Goldenen Zeitalters in Dänemark, indem sie seine vielfältigen Verbindungen zu den berühmtesten dänischen Zeitgenossen behandelt. Sie zeigt, daß diese Personen nicht in untergeordneter Position im Schatten Kierkegaards gewirkt haben, sondern darauf Anspruch erheben können, selbst als bedeutende Denker und Künstler betrachtet zu werden. Die Beiträge erläutern sowohl Kierkegaards Einfluß auf seine Zeitgenossen als auch deren unterschiedliche Wirkung auf ihn. Anhand der Analysen dieser vielfältigen Beziehungen wird Kierkegaard als Autor aus neuen und aufschlußreichen Perspektiven betrachtet.

Interpreting Kierkegaard in the general context of Golden Age Denmark, this interdisciplinary anthology features articles which treat his various relations to his most famous Danish contemporaries. It aims to see them not as minor figures laboring in Kierkegaard's shadow but rather as significant thinkers and artists in their own right. The articles illuminate both Kierkegaard's influence on his contemporaries and their varied influences on him. By means of the analyses of these various relations, aspects of Kierkegaard's authorship are brought into new and insightful perspectives. The featured essays treat some of the most important figures from the time, representing the fields of philosophy, theology, literature, criticism and art.
