Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855), the “father of existentialism”, entered Copenhagen University in 1830 as a theology student but extended his studies to philosophy and literature. In 1840 he graduated with a dissertation on irony, “Om Begrebet Ironi” (1841). Kierkegaard's influence during his lifetime was confined to Denmark, largely because he published in Danish. “As a thinker, Kierkegaard had to wait for the twentieth century to find his audience.” (Printing and the Mind of Man). All of Kierkegaard's 1st editions were published in very limited issues. Most of them were printed in 550 copies, some only in 250 copies.
Provenance: Book Collector and Doctor of Medicine Torben Schiødt (1926–2009).
CORRECTION: Begrebet Angest in 2nd ed., NOT 1st ed.
