The long period from the Renaissance to the nineteenth century
supplied numerous sources for Kierkegaard's thought in any number
of different fields. The present, rather heterogeneous volume
covers the long period from the birth of Savonarola in 1452 through
the beginning of the nineteenth century and into Kierkegaard's own
time. The Danish thinker read authors representing vastly different
traditions and time periods. Moreover, he also read a diverse range
of genres. His interests concerned not just philosophy, theology
and literature but also drama and music. The present volume
consists of three tomes that are intended to cover Kierkegaard's
sources in these different fields of thought. Tome I is dedicated
to the philosophers of the early modern period and the
Enlightenment who played a role in shaping Kierkegaard's
intellectual development. He was widely read in German and French
philosophy of the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries,
making reference to the leading rationalist philosophers Descartes,
Spinoza and Leibniz in his journals and published works. Further,
connections have also been pointed out between his thought and the
writings of the French thinkers Montaigne, Pascal and Rousseau, who
share with Kierkegaard a form of philosophy that is more interested
in life and existence than purely conceptual analysis. Through the
works of the authors explored here Kierkegaard became acquainted
with some of the major philosophical discussions of the modern era
such as the beginning of philosophy, the role of doubt, the status
of autonomy in ethics and religion, human freedom, the problem of
the theodicy found in thinkers such as Bayle and Leibniz, and the
problem of the relation of philosophy to religion as it appears in
the German writers Jacobi and Lessing.
