History of Philosophy (Danish Edition)

The activity behind the contribution is linked to Denmark, typically in the form of a presentation originally delivered in Denmark, e. Finally, the author of the contribution is a Danish philosopher, a philosopher based in Denmark, or connected to Denmark in some other way. The Yearbook was founded in to stimulate the professional interaction between Danish philosophers and their international colleagues.

This is still the overall aim, and now the Yearbook is published annually for the Danish Philosophical Association. Reflecting the broad interpretation of philosophy institutionalized at Danish Universities, the Yearbook aims to cover as broad a philosophical ground as possible in relation to philosophical schools, styles and traditions. The Yearbook can dedicate a section or a whole issue to a specific theme.

Prospective guest editors are encouraged to write to the Editor-in-Chief. The Yearbook reviews books by Danish philosophers, or philosophers with strong ties to Denmark only.

Instead he took himself seriously to have reached the truth, and so rendered himself comical. This authorship snipes simultaneously at German romanticism and contemporary Danish literati with J. Heiberg receiving much acerbic comment. However, it also draws heavily on the work of these authors, especially by taking seriously their framing of philosophical and theological problems.

Classical Greek art, in particular, is taken to be the gold standard by which artistic perfection is to be measured. However, Kierkegaard and the German romantics and German idealists share the view that classical Greek art lacks inwardness or subjective spirit. Modern art, by contrast, while unlikely to match the formal perfection of classical Greek art, contains the potential to explore subjective spirit. One crucial dimension of subjective spirit is freedom, which becomes a distinctive preoccupation of modern art and post-Kantian philosophy.

He uses narrative points of view, pseudonyms, vignettes, character sketches and case studies from life and literature to illustrate how dialectics of moods, emotions and spirit can both disable and enable individual freedom. Moods such as melancholy, boredom and irony can become demonically self-perpetuating, but they also have the potential to lift the individual to a state of self-reflection that amounts to higher order consciousness, thereby enabling the individual to see his or her former existence as what Wittgenstein called a limited whole.

The highest order of consciousness for Kierkegaard is God-consciousness, which enables the individual to see himself or herself as both a sinner and as open to divine grace. So it had little immediate effect as discursive action. Kierkegaard sought to remedy this by provoking an attack on himself in the popular satirical review The Corsair.

Kierkegaard succeeded in having himself mercilessly lampooned in this publication, largely on personal grounds rather than in terms of the substance of his writings. The suffering incurred by these attacks sparked Kierkegaard into another highly productive phase of authorship, but this time his focus was the creation of positive Christian discourses rather than satire or parody.

He realized he could no longer indulge himself in the painstakingly erudite and poetically meticulous writing he had practised hitherto. This addressed church politics directly and increasingly shrilly.

One was the influence of Hegel, largely through the teachings of H. Martensen; the other was the popularity of N. Grundtvig, a theologian, educator and poet who composed most of the pieces in the Danish hymn book. Grundtvig emphasized the light, joyous, celebratory and communal aspects of Christianity, whereas Kierkegaard emphasized seriousness, suffering, sin, guilt, and individual isolation.

His intervention with respect to Hegelianism also failed, with Martensen succeeding Mynster as Bishop Primate. Hegelianism in the church went on to die of natural causes. Kierkegaard also provided critical commentary on social change.

He feared that the opportunity of achieving genuine selfhood was diminished by the social production of stereotypes. He lived in an age when mass society was emerging from a highly stratified feudal order and was contemptuous of the mediocrity the new social order generated. One symptom of the change was that mass society substitutes detached reflection for engaged passionate commitment.

Yet the latter is crucial for Christian faith and for authentic selfhood according to Kierkegaard. His pamphleteering achieved little immediate impact, but his substantial philosophical, literary, psychological and theological writings have had a lasting effect. Adorno, on the other hand, in his Habilitationsschrift , later published as Kierkegaard: Ibsen and Strindberg, together with Friedrich Nietzsche, became central icons of the modernism movement in Berlin in the s.

The Danish literary critic Georg Brandes was instrumental in conjoining these intellectual figures: Taking his cue from Brandes, the Swedish literary critic Ola Hansson subsequently promoted this conjunction of writers in Berlin itself. Berlin modernism self-consciously sought to use art as a means of political and social change. Many other writers have been inspired by Kierkegaard to tackle fundamental issues in philosophy, politics, theology and psychology. Franz Kafka, Emmanuel Levinas and Jacques Derrida have all written extensively in response, to try to sort out the implications for ethics and faith.

Kierkegaard was a saint. This has produced quite a debate about the relevance of Kierkegaard for developing narrative accounts of the self, with notable contributions by Anthony Rudd, John Davenport, John Lippitt and Patrick Stokes. Paul Ricoeur and Judith Butler have also been influenced by Kierkegaard, especially regarding his use of rhetoric and narrative point of view to critique systematic philosophy. It is impossible to give an exhaustive list of the important thinkers who owe an intellectual or existential debt to Kierkegaard. The diversity of the writers and thinkers mentioned above nevertheless testifies to the breadth and depth of his influence, which continues into the present age.

Mulhall, Stephen, , Inheritance and Originality: His history refer to 9 books of the Gesta Danorum, and the best known of which is Books 3 and 4 containing the story of Amleth, subsequently translated into French and embellished by de Belleforest, and made eternally famous by Shakespeare's play Hamlet.

Whether you are interested in Shakespeare, Danish history or mythology I think you will find this story interesting, as it has many differences from the play Hamlet including Amleth's adventures in England, and romantic escapades in both England and Scotland with the Queen Hermuturde who loved and hated men in equal mesure, and reputed to kill her suitors.

So, if you want to get the story for free here now is your opportunity. The Kindle edition is properly organised and free of typos at least from what I have read so far. As I write, it has not been properly formatted for Kindle, which means that some of the typical search abilities such as looking for specific words are absent, but it can still be read by normal means. It may help you to know that Amleth begins around location I definitely recommend this edition. I can only speak so far to Amleth being a great story. I think you will enjoy it, and I hope this review was helpful.

For this "price", guys i wouldn't mind paying really, but this is really great find for us historical geeks. Its a great read, well how many of us do really know something about Denmark? Not much if it is not your specialization. And yet there s so much to know. The roots of Danish history sink into the antiquity, when the northern tribesmen 1st formulated what it was like to have a law order etc. They were war-like people, and of great ability. Not very different from the Norwegians or the Swedes and yet different.

In this book we meet with the great kings, and the stories surrounding them.

Frequently bought together

Its the archaic knowledge well-worth your attention! Among the best insight I have gleaned into Viking politics and history. The book is accessible and makes for an enjoyable read not just a informative one. For Danes, it is "A National Treasure" and the best available attempt to record the oral tradition of the Danes for the period before other written records. It is for the serious student - not for the fainthearted.

For lovers of English literature, there are interesting stories that formed the basis for Hamlet and other works. This is a good product with good service as advertised on this website. Would recommend this vendor and order from them again. This item is what it was represented to be, and I am most appreciative of the fact that I received what I paid for. See all 15 reviews.
