{"product_id":"either-or-part-ii-1","title":"Either\/Or, Part II","description":"\u003cp\u003eSøren Kierkegaard, the nineteenth-century Danish philosopher rediscovered in the twentieth century, is a major influence in contemporary philosophy, religion, and literature. He regarded \u003ci\u003eEither\/Or\u003c\/i\u003e as the beginning of his authorship, although he had published two earlier works on Hans Christian Andersen and irony. The pseudonymous volumes of \u003ci\u003eEither\/Or\u003c\/i\u003e are the writings of a young man (I) and of Judge William (II). The ironical young man's papers include a collection of sardonic aphorisms; essays on Mozart, modern drama, and boredom; and \"The Seducer's Diary.\" The seeming miscellany is a reflective presentation of aspects of the \"either,\" the esthetic view of life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part II is an older friend's \"or,\" the ethical life of integrated, authentic personhood, elaborated in discussions of personal becoming and of marriage. The resolution of the \"either\/or\" is left to the reader, for there is no Part III until the appearance of \u003ci\u003eStages on Life's Way\u003c\/i\u003e. The poetic-reflective creations of a master stylist and imaginative impersonator, the two men write in distinctive ways appropriate to their respective positions.","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50867832881384,"sku":"9780691073163","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0810\/9539\/3512\/files\/imageloader_25ce1cd8-9ba7-4aee-995c-66eff3ebfbd8.jpg?v=1790358485","url":"https:\/\/kuumba-47muwsn1.myshopify.com\/products\/either-or-part-ii-1","provider":"Kuumba","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
