Reviews

"In his preface to this second edition of Historical Dictionary of Kierkegaard's Philosophy (first edition, ed. by Julia Watkin, CH, Jul'01, 38-5912) Barnett remarks that it is intended to ""serve a few key purposes: (1) to synopsize the pivotal periods of Kierkegaard's complex oeuvre, (2) to situate Kierkegaard's writings in their sociohistorical context, and (3) to consolidate a number of indispensable resources for Kierkegaard's study."" Barnett includes an extensive chronology covering 1756 through 2012 and a biographical introduction. The dictionary itself is alphabetically arranged, beginning with the term ""Absolute"" as Kierkegaard used it, and concluding (following the Danish alphabet) with ""Ørsted, Hans Christian (1777-1851),"" an eminent ""Danish chemist, physicist, and philosopher."" Recommended. Lower- and upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty. General readers."
