It has been wonderful to cover a couple of Kierkegaard’s shorter volumes. Given my last post on my readings I was surprised at how social this volume was. This volume is actually an extended review of a contemporary piece of fiction entitled Two Ages. The two ages are the age of (the French) revolution and the present age. While the opening sections do deal directly with the content of the novel it is the longer third section that gets the most attention as it is Kierkegaard’s own appropriation of the novel for his context.
