(KIERKEGAARD, SØREN). CLIMACUS, JOHANNES.

Philosophiske Smuler eller En Smule Philosophie. Udgivet af Søren Kierkegaard.

Kjøbenhavn, 1844.

Small 8vo. Bound uncut with the original printed green wrappers in an exquisite newer black half morocco binding with five raised bands and gilt title to spine. A splendid copy with only minor signs of wear and only a little occasional brownspotting. Unusually clean and fresh. 164 pp.

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 wrappers.
