Although Kierkegaard's reception was initially more or less limited
to Scandinavia, it has for a long time now been a highly
international affair. As his writings were translated into
different languages his reputation spread, and he became read more
and more by people increasingly distant from his native Denmark.
While in Scandinavia, the attack on the Church in the last years of
his life became something of a cause celebre, later, many different
aspects of his work became the object of serious scholarly
investigation well beyond the original northern borders. As his
reputation grew, he was co-opted by a number of different
philosophical and religious movements in different contexts
throughout the world. The three tomes of this volume attempt to
record the history of this reception according to national and
linguistic categories. Tome I covers the reception of Kierkegaard
in Northern and Western Europe. The articles on Denmark, Norway,
Sweden, Finland and Iceland can be said to trace Kierkegaard's
influence in its more or less native Nordic Protestant context.
Since the authors in these countries (with the exception of
Finland) were not dependent on translations or other
intermediaries, this represents the earliest tradition of
Kierkegaard reception. The early German translations of his works
opened the door for the next phase of the reception which expanded
beyond the borders of the Nordic countries. The articles in the
section on Western Europe trace his influence in Great Britain, the
Netherlands and Flanders, Germany and Austria, and France. All of
these countries and linguistic groups have their own extensive
tradition of Kierkegaard reception.
