First edition of one of Kierkegaard's main works, ""Stages on Life's Way"", his pivotal sequal to his main work, ""Either-Or"", in which he had presented the first two stages, the aesthetic and the ethical. In ""Stages on Life's Way"", he continues his work on these stages and moves on to present also the religious stage, which takes up ab. two thirds of the work. The religious stage is that in which man attains a personal relationship with God and that in which man only truly begins to exist, as the aesthetic and ethical stages are inadequate. It is in this foundational work, in the religious stage, that Kierkegaard first properly describes what is now known as the ""Leap of Faith"" (in fact a ""leap to faith""), namely the leap that involves willing and belief in stead of reason and knowledge, the leap that you make in order to connect to God and which requires that which he calls ""the suspension of the ethical"". Stages on Life’s Way is one of Kierkegaard’s most important works. Not only does it sum up and explain some of the most important themes of Kierkegaard’s previous works, utilizing the characters and pseudonymous authors of the earlier works to do so" it goes beyond these foundational themes, introduces the religious stage, and points to the further development of the central themes in Kierkegaard’s philosophy, most of which are only fully developed in Concluding Unscientific Postscript.

First edition of Kierkegaard's dissertation, as it appeared in the normal trade, without the preliminary Theses, which were intended for academics attending the defence. Kierkegaard’s dissertation constitutes the culmination of three years’ intensive studies of Socrates and “the true point of departure for Kierkegaard’s authorship” (Brandes). The work is of the utmost importance in Kierkegaard’s production, not only as his first academic treatise, but also because he here introduces several themes that will be addressed in his later works. Among these we find the question of defining the subject of cognition and self-knowledge of the subject. The maxim of “know thyself” will be a constant throughout his oeuvre, as is the theory of knowledge acquisition that he deals with here. The dissertation is also noteworthy in referencing many of Hegel’s theses in a not negative context, something that Kierkegaard himself would later note with disappointment and characterize as an early, uncritical use of Hegel. Another noteworthy feature is the fact that the thesis is written in Danish, which was unheard of at the time. Kierkegaard felt that Danish was a more suitable language for the thesis and had to petition the King in order to gain permission to submit it in Danish rather than Latin. This in itself contains as certain irony, as the young Kierkegaard was known to express himself poorly and very long-winded in written Danish. Both stylistically and thematically, Kierkegaard’s dissertation is a seedbed of his subsequent work and especially a clear precursor for his magnum opus Either-Or that is to be his next publication. The year 1841 is a momentous one in Kierkegaard’s life. It is the year that he completes his dissertation and commences his sojourn in Berlin, but it is also the defining year in his personal life, namely the year that he breaks off his engagement with Regine Olsen. And finally, it is the year that he begins writing Either-Or In many ways, Either-Or is born directly out of “The Concept of Irony” and is the work that brings the theory of Irony to life. Part One of the dissertation concentrates on Socrates as interpreted by Xenophon, Plato, and Aristophanes, with a word on Hegel and Hegelian categories. Part Two is a more synoptic discussion of the concept of irony in Kierkegaard’s categories, with examples from other philosophers. The work constitutes Kierkegaard’s attempt at understanding the role of irony in disrupting society, and with Socrates understood through Kierkegaard, we witness a whole new way of interpreting the world open before us. Wisdom is not necessarily fixed, and we ought to use Socratic ignorance to approach the world without the inherited bias of our cultures. Kierkegaard's dissertation appeared in two states – one with the four pages of “Theses”, for academics of the university, whereas the copies without the theses were intended for ordinary sale. These sales copies also do not have “Udgivet for Magistergraden” and “theologisk Candidat” on the title-page. Himmelstrup 8.
