He regarded \u003ci\u003eEither\/Or\u003c\/i\u003e as the beginning of his authorship, although he had published two earlier works on Hans Christian Andersen and irony. The pseudonymous volumes of \u003ci\u003eEither\/Or\u003c\/i\u003e are the writings of a young man (I) and of Judge William (II). 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 seeming miscellany is a reflective presentation of aspects of the either, the esthetic view of life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e 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 resolution of the either\/or is left to the reader, for there is no Part III until the appearance of \u003ci\u003eStages on Life's Way\u003c\/i\u003e. The poetic-reflective creations of a master stylist and imaginative impersonator, the two men write in distinctive ways appropriate to their respective positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/21\/1988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691020419\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.52w x 1.74d","brand":"Soren Kierkegaard, S\u0026#248;ren Kierkegaard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36640084721820,"sku":"9780691020419","price":42.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_a10ed5fb-a1e7-4dec-b94d-38c9cf81ca7e.jpg?v=1603851344","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/kierkegaards-writing-iii-part-i-eitheror-9780691020419","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
