Whereas the movement in the earlier pseudonymous writings is away from the aesthetic, the movement in Postscript is away from speculative thought. Kierkegaard intended Postscript to be his concluding work as an author. The subsequent \"second authorship\" after The Corsair Affair made Postscript the turning point in the entire authorship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart One of the text volume examines the truth of Christianity as an objective issue, Part Two the subjective issue of what is involved for the individual in becoming a Christian, and the volume ends with an addendum in which Kierkegaard acknowledges and explains his relation to the pseudonymous authors and their writings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second volume contains the scholarly apparatus, including a key to references and selected entries from Kierkegaard's journals and papers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Søren Kierkegaard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.41h x 5.44w x 0.91d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691020822","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40087117561971,"sku":"0691020825","price":69.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_bc865e25-63ae-4d7b-b0fc-79dc86c9f63c.jpg?v=1652538037","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/kierkegaards-writings-xii-volume-ii-concluding-unscientific-postscript-to-philosophical-fragments-9780691020822","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
