This cycle of lecture is designed to provide a focused, in-depth and demanding introduction to Kierkegaard's philosophy. The goal is to approach Kierkegaard's notion of existence and use it as the interpretatory key to the whole of his authorship. Apart from 10 major lectures delivering a sustained interpretation of Kierkegaard's ontology, there will be 2 bonus lectures as detailed in the syllabus. The lectures will be delivered in English.
All compulsory readings are listed in the syllabus and the pagination refers to the Essential Kierkegaard antology.
