Kierkegaard has undoubtedly been an influence on phenomenological
thinking, but he has rarely if ever been read as a phenomenologist
himself. Recent developments in phenomenology have expanded our
conception of the discipline itself and the varieties of experience
it can address. Is it possible that Kierkegaard, a canonical figure
by any measure, can be reappraised in light of these developments?
Or more radically, is it possible that the frontiers of
phenomenological investigation were already broached by Kierkegaard
even before phenomenology was formally defined by Husserl?
In "Kierkegaard as Phenomenologist: An Experiment, "Jeffrey
Hanson embarks on a project to locate Kierkegaard within the
current phenomenological discussion. This work is an experiment
inasmuch as the plausibility of the undertaking itself will be
determined only by the outcome. Some of the contributors clearly
regard it as possible to read Kierkegaard as a phenomenologist.
Others plainly do not and will contest the very hypothesis that
forms the basis of this experiment.
As with any experiment, the larger discussion will determine its
success, but "Kierkegaard as Phenomenologist "lays the groundwork
for two exciting possibilities: first, that Kierkegaard scholarship
will be renewed, and second, that the meaning of phenomenology
itself will be reconsidered.
