First edition of "Philosophical Fragments", which by many is considered Kierkegaard's actual religious-philosophical main work. It is the first book written under the important pseudonum Johannes Climacus, and it is here that Kierkegaard unfolds the tension between philosophy and religion, in a attempt to find an historical onset for eternal consciousness, opposing the ideological thought inherited by Plato, Aristotle and Hegel.
Rare with the original wrapper.
