A propos de cet article

1967 4th printing of second edition. Wrappers toned, otherwise an excellent copy. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 1962 Trade Paperback. xcvii, 260 pp. Translated into English from the original Danish and introduced by David F. Swenson, with new introduction and commentary by Niels Thulstrup, translation revised and commentary translated by Howard V. Hong. A Christian philosophical work written by Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard in 1844, the second of three works written under the pseudonym Johannes Climacus; the other two were De omnibus dubitandum est in 1841 and Concluding Unscientific Postscript to Philosophical Fragments in 1846.

The central issue of Johannes Climacus is doubt. Probably written between November 1842 and April 1843 but unfinished and published only posthumously, this book was described by Kierkegaard as an attack on modern speculative philosophy by "means of the melancholy irony, which did not consist in any single utterance on the part of Johannes Climacus but in his whole life. . . . Johannes does what we are told to do--he actually doubts everything--he suffers through all the pain of doing that, becomes cunning, almost acquires a bad conscience. When he has gone as far in that direction as he can go and wants to come back, he cannot do so. . . . Now he despairs, his life is wasted, his youth is spent in these deliberations. Life does not acquire any meaning for him, and all this is the fault of philosophy." A note by Kierkegaard suggests how he might have finished the work: "Doubt is conquered not by the system but by faith, just as it is faith that has brought doubt into the world..…
