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 II covers the reception of Kierkegaard
in Southern, Central and Eastern Europe. The first set of articles,
under the rubric 'Southern Europe', covers Portugal, Spain and
Italy. A number of common features were shared in these countries'
reception of Kierkegaard, including a Catholic cultural context and
a debt to the French reception. The next rubric covers the rather
heterogeneous group of countries designated here as 'Central
Europe': Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland. These
countries are loosely bound in a cultural sense by their former
affiliation with the Habsburg Empire and in a religious sense by
their shared Catholicism. Finally, the Orthodox countries of
'Eastern Europe' are represented with articles on Russia, Bulgaria,
Serbia and Montenegro, Macedonia and Romania.
