In so doing he makes a case for finding a unity in Kierkegaard’s authorship as a whole. His deep learning and lucid writing combine to give us a text as delightful as it is challenging.’  \nMerol Westphal, Fordham University  \n‘The “upbuilding discourses” have long been the Cinderella texts of Kierkegaard’s oeuvre. Yet in his original and impressive new study, George Pattison controversially argues that these relatively little read and discussed“talks”provide the optimal perspective in which the meaning and contemporary significance of Kierkegaard’s authorship can be assessed. Pattison makes some intriguing suggestions about the ways in which the discourses illuminate Kierkegaard’s much better-known pseudonymous works, as well as his explicitly Christian writings. This is thus a book that opens up numerous issues requiring further debate and discussion. It should be read by all with an interest in Kierkegaard.’  \nJohn Lippit, University of Hertfordshire  \nRoutledge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Philosophy  \n1 The Scotch Metaphysics  \nA century of Enlightenment George E.

The discussion of the sublime in Chapter 3 reflects my contribution ‘Sublimity and the Experience of Freedom in Kierkegaard’ to Giles, J. (ed.) Kierkegaard and Freedom, Basingstoke, Palgrave, 2000. The treatment of the personification of the discourse in Chapter 6 is developed from the article ‘“Who is the Discourse?” A Study in Kierkegaard’s Religious Literature’Kierkegaardiana 16 (1993) pp. 28–45, while the exploration of the relationship between the subjunctive and the imperative in the same chapter largely follows the article ‘The Theory and Practice of Language and Communication in Kierkegaard’s Upbuilding Discourses’ Kierkegaardiana 19 (1998) pp. 81–94. Chapter 7, ‘Building on Love’s Ruins’, substantially reproduces the article ‘A Dialogical Approach to Kierkegaard’s Upbuilding Discourses’ in the Zeitschrift für Neuere Theologiegeschichte (Journal for the History of Modern Theology) 3 (1996) pp. 185–202.
