Note publique d'information : Søren Kierkegaard, the nineteenth-century Danish philosopher rediscovered in the twentieth
century, is a major influence in contemporary philosophy, religion, and literature.
He regarded Either/Or as the beginning of his authorship, although he had published
two earlier works on Hans Christian Andersen and irony. The pseudonymous volumes of
Either/Or are the writings of a young man (I) and of Judge William (II). The ironical
young man's papers include a collection of sardonic aphorisms; essays on Mozart, modern
drama, and boredom; and "The Seducer's Diary." The seeming miscellany is a reflective
presentation of aspects of the "either," the esthetic view of life.
