Footnotes

First editions of Kierkegaard's first two books, along with the last one published in his lifetime. His first book, 'From the Papers of a Person Still Alive', is an extended review of Hans Christian Andersen's novel 'Only a Fiddler' (Kun en Spillemand, 1837) and an attack on Andersen's philosophy of life. The second, 'On the Concept of Irony with Continual Reference to Socrates', is Kierkegaard's 1841 doctoral thesis, the culmination of three years of extensive study on Socrates, as seen from the view point of Xenophon, Aristophanes and Plato.
